We will leave to later the explanation of exactly what the 95% confidence level means. For now, we’ll note that taken together the width of the interval and the confidence level provide a measure on the strength of the evidence supporting the hypothesis that the μ is close to our estimate x. You should think of the confidence level of an interval as analogous to the significance level of a NHST...

We examine the impact of religious identity and village-level religious fragmentation on behavior in Tullock contests. We report on a series of two-player Tullock contest experiments conducted on a sample of 516 Hindu and Muslim participants in rural West Bengal, India. Our treatments are the identity of the two players and the degree of religious fragmentation in the village where subjects res...

since the renaissance contend ideas for a theory of a new understanding of the concept of science and knowledge. move omitted the role of knowledge-building and the formulation of the concept of science, which is created and consists of theory and shape so as to complement to be material technical and technological dimensions in the basic sciences. and is disclosure the role of the humanities a...

In using pooling designs to identify clones containing a specific subsequence called positive clones, sometimes there exist nonpositive clones which can cancel the effect of positive clones. Various models have been studied which differ in the power of cancellation. Although the various models pose interesting mathematical problems, and ingenious constructions of pooling designs have been propo...

The present study examined how achievement goals affect retrieval-induced forgetting. Researchers have suggested that mastery-approach goals (i.e., developing one's own competence) promote a relational encoding, whereas performance-approach goals (i.e., demonstrating one's ability in comparison with others) promote item-specific encoding. These different encoding processes may affect the degree...

Randomisation is a method to test the statistical significance of a symbolic rule; it is, however, very expensive. In this paper we present a sequential randomisation test which dramatically reduces the number of steps needed for a conclusion.

Distributive lattices are well known to be precisely those lattices that possess cancellation: x ∨ y = x ∨ z and x ∧ y = x ∧ z imply y = z. Cancellation, in turn, occurs whenever a lattice has neither of the 5-element lattices M3 or N5 as sublattices. In this paper we examine cancellation in skew lattices, where the involved objects are in many ways lattice-like, but the operations ∧ and ∨ no l...

We present a class of Ansätze for the up and down quark mass matrices which leads approximately to: |Vus| ∼ √ md/ms, |Vcb| ∼ ms/mb, and |Vub/Vcb| ∼ √ mu/mc. Sizes of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are controlled solely by quark mass ratios. In particular, we introduce no other small parameter and our results do not rely on delicate cancellation.

The aim of the research was to determine construct validity and reliability for two questionnaires (Athlete Engagement Questionnaire-AEQ and Athletic Identity Measurement Scale-AIMS), applied on elite Croatian athletes-sprinters, as well as the correlations among the dimensions in these measuring instruments. Then, we have determined the differences in the dimensions of sport engagement and spo...
