Direct linkParr, Andrew Joseph – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The purpose of this research was to determine whether transient or mobile students attain lower levels of academic achievement than non-transient students and to identify the characteristics distinguishing transient from non-transient students. The study analyzed the assessment results, student characteristics, and school factors for approximately…

Gardner, Robert D. – Arts Education Policy Review, 2010
The purpose of this study was to construct a profile of K-12 music teachers in the United States and develop a model to predict their retention, turnover, and attrition. Responses to the "Schools and Staffing Survey" from 47,857 K-12 public and private school teachers, including 1,903 music teachers, were analyzed using comparative…

Mugrage, Beverly; And Others – 1982
Three ridge regression solutions are compared with ordinary least squares regression and with principal components regression using all components. Ridge regression, particularly the Lawless-Wang solution, out-performed ordinary least squares regression and the principal components solution on the criteria of stability of coefficient and closeness…

Peer reviewedSiegel, Linda S. – Child Development, 1983
Examines (1) whether and when the development of preterm children of very low birth weight would begin to approximate that of demographically matched full-term children, and (2) whether test scores corrected for degree of prematurity or those based on chronological age would be the more accurate predictors of subsequent development.

Azen, Razia; Budescu, David V. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2006
Dominance analysis (DA) is a method used to compare the relative importance of predictors in multiple regression. DA determines the dominance of one predictor over another by comparing their additional R[squared] contributions across all subset models. In this article DA is extended to multivariate models by identifying a minimal set of criteria…

Esbensen, Anna J.; Seltzer, Marsha Mailick; Krauss, Marty Wyngaarden – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2008
Changes in health, functional abilities, and behavior problems among 150 adults with Down syndrome and 240 adults with mental retardation due to other causes were examined with seven assessments over a 9-year period. Adults were primarily younger than 40, the age at which declines begin to be evident in individuals with Down syndrome. Adults with…

Bellows, Nicole M.; Halpin, Helen A. – Gerontologist, 2008
Purpose: We examined the relationship between the quality indicator for decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and the use of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for determining Medicaid skilled nursing facility reimbursement. Design and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using the 2004 National MDS Facility Quality Indicator reports as…

Seo, Young; Abbott, Robert D.; Hawkins, J. David – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
This study investigated whether the presence of learning disabilities (LD) at age 10 was related to later schooling, employment, income, receipt of public aid, involvement in crime, and feeling of victimization at ages 21 and 24. Confidential self-report data were collected in a prospective, longitudinal panel study from a sample of 571 students,…

Levine, Robert V.; Reysen, Stephen; Ganz, Ellen – Social Indicators Research, 2008
Three field studies compared helping behavior across a sample of 24 small, medium and large cities across the United States. The relationship of helping to statistics reflecting the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of these communities was then examined. The strongest predictors of city differences in helping were population size,…

According to a new study of Milwaukee public schools, student achievement has benefited from voucher-based school competition. A novel method, using geocoding, was proposed for measuring the degree of competition within the city of Milwaukee and, in turn, for determining whether such competition has increased or decreased the achievement of public…

Strang, Kenneth David – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2009
This paper discusses how a seldom-used statistical procedure, recursive regression (RR), can numerically and graphically illustrate data-driven nonlinear relationships and interaction of variables. This routine falls into the family of exploratory techniques, yet a few interesting features make it a valuable compliment to factor analysis and…

Hills, William E.; Brallier, Sara A.; Palm, Linda J.; Graham, Jamie M. – Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, 2009
This study compared Web-based and lecture-based Gerontology and Psychology of Aging courses in terms of student performance, demographic and academic characteristics of students enrolled in the courses, and extent to which these characteristics differentially predicted outcomes of learning in the two course types. Participants for this study were…

The associations between life events in the 12 months preceding an episode of self-poisoning resulting in hospital attendance (the index episode), and the suicide intent of this episode were compared in individuals for whom the index episode was their first, episode and in individuals in whom it was a recurrence of DSH. Results indicated a…
