The whole idea of the difference between negative freedom and positive freedom has been attacked in a recent book,The Cost of Rights: Why Liberty Depends on Taxation[1999], by Cass Sunstein and Stephen Holmes. Their argument is that it costs money to enforce both kinds of rights -- negative...
There was a statistically significant difference in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale negative component, cognitive component, and depressive component in favor of the ED group at the 2-year follow-up. Multiple linear regression analyses gave no indication that these differences were due to ...
Good article. Having been a corporate bond manager, and a mortgage bond manager, and designed many insurance contracts, I can say that people like positive skewness and do not like negative skewness. The great question is what they do when offered more yield in exchange for more negative or ...
During the detoxification program, subjects were isolated from the community, and spot checks of the urine tests were done every three months to ensure the abstinence. No positive urine test for any of the illicit drugs (e.g. morphine, amphetamine or cocaine) was found in the center during ...
Such data can be analysed using two-part models, where the distribution is a mixture of a positive distribution and a Bernoulli distribution. However, traditional two-part models do not include any dependencies between the two parts of the model. Since the probability of zero is anticipated to ...
independent innovation, the current digitization and intelligent transformation of various industries has led to the rapid development of online business. Although the epidemic outbreak has increased short-term downward pressure on the economy, the long-term positive trend of the Chinese economy has not...
这个分布的kurtosis-正态分布的kurtosis=excess kurtosis
no difference between the two groups when additional negative incentives (threat of loss) were added, indicating that even though action preparation is impaired in PD, this is not emotion- or valence specific and that movement preparation in PD may potentially be helped by adding positive ...
According to the principle of 10 times events per variable [EPV] using multiple regression analysis, the sample size required for this study was calculated. The number of events of dependent variables with positive outcome should be at least 10 times the number of independent variables included in...
are very clustered between 7 and 9. Given what you posted, scale/shape is very roughly between 1.5 and 3 or so, I'm not sure what was picked for location, but the results make sense. Thick tailed distributions which extend across orders of magnitude tend to have a posi...
