Numerical Estimation Under Supervision

چکیده
Children's number-line estimation has produced a lively debate about representational change, supported by apparently incompatible data regarding the descriptive adequacy of logarithmic (Opfer et al., 2011) and power models (Slusser et al., 2013). To test whether methodological differences might explain discrepant findings, we created a fully crossed 2x2 design and assigned 96 children to one of four cells. In the design, we crossed sampling (over-, even-) and supervision (with feedback, without feedback), which were candidate factors to explain discrepant findings. In three conditions (over-sampling/unsupervised-83%, evensampling/unsupervised-67%, and over-sampling/supervised58%), the majority of children provided estimates better fit by the logarithmic than by the power function. In the last condition (even-sampling/supervised-30%), the reverse was found. Overall, a reliable association (p < .0001) was found between proportion best fit by the power function and supervision. Results suggest that the fit of the power function to children's estimates is likely an artifact of supervision.

متن کاملNeural Network Based Fuzzy Membership Function Estimation . Application to Uncertain Time - Varying Systems Supervision
Within the framework of fuzzy logic for pattern recognition, we propose a neural network based membership function procedure. The estimate is obtained as the output of a multilayer network trained to minimize a fuzziness measure of the concept to be learnt. This method is shown to be able to deal with probabilistic, resolutional and fuzzy uncertainty. Fuzziness estimation is also made possible ...

متن کاملEstimating Null Values in Database Using CBR and Supervised Learning Classification
Database and database systems have been used widely in almost, all life activities. Sometimes missed data items are discovered as missed or null values in the database tables. The presented paper proposes a design for a supervised learning system to estimate missed values found in the university database. The values of estimated data items or data it items used in estimation are numeric and not...

In this paper, a pollution regulation game model under multiple principal-agent among government, pollutant treatment enterprise and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is developed to study the pollution regulation mechanism under centralized treatment mode. The optimal regulation mechanism is obtained through theoretic and numeric analysis. It is found that with the supervision costs on pollu...
