Additive Kappa can be Increased by Combining Adjacent Categories
Weighted kappa is a measure that is commonly used for quantifying similarity between two ordinal variables with identical categories. Additive kappa is a special case of weighted kappa that allows the researcher to specify distances between adjacent categories. It is shown that additive kappa is a weighted average of the additive kappas of all collapsed tables of a specific size. It follows tha...
متن کاملTimed Automata Can Always Be Made Implementable
Timed automata follow a mathematical semantics, which assumes perfect precision and synchrony of clocks. Since this hypothesis does not hold in digital systems, properties proven formally on a timed automaton may be lost at implementation. In order to ensure implementability, several approaches have been considered, corresponding to different hypotheses on the implementation platform. We addres...
متن کاملDoes Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?
Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...
متن کاملCan Nearest Neighbor Searching Be Simple and Always Fast?
Nearest Neighbor Searching, i.e. determining from a set S of n sites in the plane the one that is closest to a given query point q, is a classical problem in computational geometry. Fast theoretical solutions are known, e.g. point location in the Voronoi Diagram of S, or specialized structures such as so-called Delaunay hierarchies. However, practitioners tend to deem these solutions as too com...
متن کاملCan Distance and Classroom Learning Be Increased?
Professor Scott Overmyer of Baker College, in a discussion list post, raised four points bearing on a question of interest to those involved in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL): Can Distance and Classroom Learning Be Increased? My answer: “YES” judging from the fact that pre/post testing in courses in Newtonian mechanics has demonstrated an approximately two-standard-deviation su...
