A growing number of sport consumer behavior scholars have been employing experimental methods, especially because experiments allow researchers to gain a better understanding of causal inferences by examining controlled conditions. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to offer...
respectively (Table S4.a.1). Manipulating seawater temperature under controlled experimental conditions (where all other confounding variables are accounted for), allows researchers to test hypotheses related to the direct effect of temperature on the response variables...
Besides providing more precise estimates, the larger sample size also allows researchers to examine the nature of the differential treatment from many more angles and hence promises to link it more closely to specific theories of discrimination.6 Although Guryan and Charles (2013) call correspondence ...
Due to the sheer size of the pool of workers ready to perform tasks for pay, MTurk enables researchers to conduct large-scale experiments and to implement an effective random assignment of participants to different conditions beyond the capacity of a typical physical laboratory.Footnote 7 While not...
To keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special harness (系带). It was tough, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. But it had a special release controlled by magnets. This was meant to allow the scientists to free the birds from the...
Once a project is set up, researchers submit their "job" to a queue, where they wait their turn to run on the supercomputer. While the traditional queuing system helps optimize supercomputer usage at the facilities, it doesn't support the rapid turnaround times needed for the IRI. ...
In n series of experiments, researchers analyze d more than 300 online conversations an d for more meaningful follow-up questions (ak. a. questions that aren't "how are you?" or "what do yo much more likable.So how do you move from tongue-tie d to beingan interesting person? It ...
Although sometimes criticized for lack of realism, randomized experiments are important because they allow researchers to test causal hypotheses. The standard methods for meta-analysis of randomized experiments are based either on two-group between-participants experiments or on single-group before-after ...
to similar units that do not receive the treatment. The logical meaning of “what would have happened otherwise” collapses if the control group receives the treatment (Nagin and Sampson2018). Yet in the pursuit of other important principles, such as sample size, researchers can sometimes neglect...
A user interface (UI), for analyzing model training runs, tracking and visualizing various aspects of machine learning experiments, can be used when training an artificial intelligent agent in, for example, a racing game environment. The UI can be web-based and can allow researchers to easily ...
