Considering the central role that variance and variance component estimates play in probability sample design and inference, the associated U-statistic theory provides a valuable new research and analysis tool for survey statistics.;Recognizing that most variance and variance component estimation problems ...

It is supposed that the sample data of aleatory uncertainties is sufficient to characterize their influence on the structural performance in the reliability analysis and optimal design process [13]. Generally speaking, the probability theory-based design frameworks provide reasonable solutions when accurate...
In the agricultural industry, PE is defined as the degree to which a device can assist users in monitoring their daily yield data analysis, GPS field mapping, productivity measurement, and field-level weather forecasts [15]. If farmers’ perceptions of improved harvest management, easier access ...
Nudge theory is a flexible and modern change-management concept for the understanding how people think, make decisions, and behave; helping people improve their thinking and decisions; managing change of all sorts and; identifying and modifying existing unhelpful influences on people. Nudge theory was...
This article treats the theoretical underpinnings of diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI), as well as experimental design and data analysis issues. We review the mathematical model underlying DT-MRI, discuss the quantitative parameters that are derived from the measured effective diffusion...
theory focuses on how individuals interact in relation to the phenomenon under study; data analysis is systematic and begins as soon as data become available; data collection is based on emerging concepts and these concepts are developed through constant comparison with additional data (Creswell, 1998...
Survey data has been collected in four German research projects and subsequently combined into a validation data set. Two versions of the G-NoMAD existed, independently translated from the original English version by two research groups. A measurement invariance analysis was conducted, comparing latent...
The theory also predicts parallel development of verbatim-based analysis and gist-based intuition, which produces developmental reversals (e.g., children outperform adults) under specific circumstances. As an example, despite increasing competence in reasoning, some biases in decision making grow with ag...
