The application of Technology Acceptance Model in the use health applications requires development. This study examines development an extended by adding variables convenience, perceptual disturbance, and self-efficacy. Respondents this were users Halodoc application, as many 250 respondents selected based on purposive random sampling. Hypotheses testing carried out using SEM (Structural Equati...

A new distance-based estimator for forest regeneration assessment, the mean distance method, was developed by combining ideas and techniques from the wandering quarter method, T-square sampling and the random pairs method. The performance of the mean distance method was compared to conventional 4.05 square meter plot sampling through simulation analysis on 405 square meter blocks of a field sur...

a. Follow-ups to Session 13 • Comment on the codes from Session 13. The codes used in Session 13 use various " tricks " or shortcuts to make them more compact. In general, I don't recommend coding this way (so these codes should be rewritten!). For example, the choice of energy units is exploited so that energies are integers and therefore can be used as array indices. But if we added an extern...

SIMULATING DEPENDENT BINARY DATA WITH RANDOM EFFECTS. Aobo Wang, Roy T. Sabo, Department of Biostatistics, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia 23298-0032. Dependent binary data can be simply simulated using the multinomial sampling method. We extend this method to simulate dependent binary data with clustered random effect structures. Several distributions are considered for co...

Mixed logit is a flexible discrete choice model that allows for random coefficients and/or error components that induce correlation over alternatives and time. Procedures for estimating mixed logits have been developed within both the classical (e.g., Revelt and Train, 1998) and Bayesian traditions (Sawtooth Software, 1999.) Asymptotically, the two procedures provide the same information, and H...

Online Social Network has attracted lots of academies and industries to look into its characteristics, models and applications. There are many methods for crawling or sampling in networks, especially for the undirected networks. We focus on sampling the directed networks and intend to compare the efficiency, the accuracy and the stability between them. We consider the sampled nodes and links as...

In recent years, online social networks (OSN) have emerged as a platform of sharing variety of information about people, and their interests, activities, events and news from real worlds. Due to the large scale and access limitations (e.g., privacy policies) of online social network services such as Facebook and Twitter, it is difficult to access the whole public network in a limited amount of ...

BACKGROUND Nonrandom sampling of populations in developing nations has limitations and can inaccurately estimate health phenomena, especially among hard-to-reach populations such as rural residents. However, random sampling of rural populations in developing nations can be challenged by incomplete enumeration of the base population. METHODS We describe a stratified random sampling method usin...
