Expanding upon work by Diessel & Tomasello (2005, hereafter D&T) and Gries (to appear), 1 this study explores particle positioning in child language as a gradual cognitive-pragmatic development based on statistical distribution of input. The phenomenon of particle position alternation is peculiar insofar as it defines a category of combinations which show syntactic variation without concomitant...

OLAP cubes are a powerful database technology to join tables and aggregate data to discover interesting trends. However, OLAP cubes exhibit limitations to uncover fractional relationships on a measure aggregated at multiple granularity levels. One prominent example is the percentage, an intuitive probablistic metric, used in practically every analytic application. With such motivation in mind, ...

In the present study, we proposed a modification in one of the most frequently applied effect-size procedures in single-case data analysis: the percentage of nonoverlapping data. In contrast with other techniques, the calculus and interpretation of this procedure are straightforward and can be easily complemented by visual inspection of the graphed data. Although the percentage of nonoverlappin...

introduction: the process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. one of the main features called volume percentage of stroma (vps) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. currently, this feature is calculated by...

Percentage error (relative to the observed value) is often felt to be more meaningful than the absolute error in isolation. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is widely used in forecasting as a basis of comparison, and regression models can be fitted which minimize this criterion. Unfortunately, no formula exists for the coefficients, and models for a given data set may not be unique. We...

the current study aims to investigate the relationship between stock liquidity risk and financial information quality criteria (i.e. the timely dividends announcement, accruals quality and the percentage of profitability prediction error) of companies listed on the tehran stock exchange. for this purpose, 148 cases of data from listed companies, collected from 2007 to 2012, were employed in ord...
