Note that the correlation reflects the non-linearity and direction of a linear relationship (top row), but not the slope of that relationship (middle), nor many aspects of nonlinear relationships (bottom). N.B.: the figure in the center has a slope of 0 but in that case the correlation coefficient is undefined because the variance of Y is zero.

In laboratory studies, praising children’s effort encourages them to adopt incremental motivational frame-works—they believe ability is malleable, attribute success to hard work, enjoy challenges, and generate strate-gies for improvement. In contrast, praising children’s inherent abilities encourages them to adopt fixed-ability frameworks. Does the praise parents spontaneously give ...

Abstract—Most intrusion detection systems (IDS) are vul-nerable to novel attacks and struggle to maintain a balance between high accuracy and a low false positive rate. Furthermore, the relevant features of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in conventional networks may not necessarily apply to the Software-defined network (SDN) environment. Additionally, weak feature selection ...

The translation from high-level languages and assembly languages into machine languages is accomplished by special programs: compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. A compiler translates a source program in a high-level language into an object program in the machine language. An interpreter interprets and executes a program in a high-level language line by line. An assembler translates a ...

ABSTRACT: Contact angle measurement is a valuable tool for analyzing surface properties, including surface structure, cleanliness, and solid−liquid interactions. Typically, this measurement is performed at the static state, capturing the interactions at the solid−liquid interface when the gas, liquid, and solid phases reach equilibrium. In this study, we developed a user-friendly setup for ...

If the publication decisions of journals are a function of the statistical significance of re-search findings, the published literature may suffer from “publication bias.” This paper describes a method for detecting publication bias. We point out that to achieve statisti-cal significance, the effect size must be larger in small samples. If publications tend to be biased against ...

Abstract. Outlier detection has recently become an important prob-lem in many industrial and ̄nancial applications. In this paper, a novel unsupervised algorithm for outlier detection with a solid statistical foun-dation is proposed. First we modify a nonparametric density estimate with a variable kernel to yield a robust local density estimation. Out-liers are then detected by comparing the ...

Since neither Plato’s nor the general sense of “sophist” encourages an account of sophistic method and practice, it is questionable whether there is an alternative approach. The follow-ing discussion offers a sort of middle course by suggesting alterations to Plato’s sense of “sophist” that in turn yield a subset of sophists in the general sense. What is ultimately important here ...

Section 7.5 Equivalence Relations Longin Jan Latecki Temple University, Philadelphia latecki@temple.edu We can group properties of relations together to define new types of important relations. _________________ Definition: A relation R on a set A is an equivalence relation iff R is • reflexive • symmetric • transitive Two elements related by an equivalence relation are called equivalent ...

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new shape decomposition method, called convex shape decomposition. We formal-ize the convex decomposition problem as an integer linear programming problem, and obtain approximate optimal so-lution by minimizing the total cost of decomposition under some concavity constraints. Our method is based on Morse theory and combines information from multiple Morse ...
