Simpson’s Paradox in the interpretation of “leaky pipeline” data
The traditional ‘leaky pipeline’ plots are widely used to inform gender equality policy and practice. Herein, we demonstrate how a statistical phenomenon known as Simpson’s paradox can obscure trends in gender ‘leaky pipeline’ plots. Our approach has been to use Excel spreadsheets to generate hypothetical ‘leaky pipeline’ plots of gender inequality within an organisation. The principal factors,...
متن کاملFixing the leaky pipeline: women scientists in academia.
Although the number of women receiving doctorates and in academic positions has increased over the past 20 yr, females still are under-represented on university faculties. The extent of and reasons for this inequity are discussed. There are four critical periods that influence the retention of women in science: early childhood, adolescence, college, and the graduate school/job entry period. For...
متن کاملEnhancing Patching Performance Through Double Patching
Patching is an efficient bandwidth-sharing technique for video-on-demand systems. Its performance, however, has limitation: as the time distance to the last regular multicast enlarges, the patching cost for new requests increases and eventually, a new regular multicast must be scheduled to balance the cost. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a new technique called Double Patchi...
متن کاملTractability of Theory Patching
In this paper we consider the problem of theory patching, in which we are given a domain theory, some of whose components are indicated to be possibly awed, and a set of labeled training examples for the domain concept. The theory patching problem is to revise only the indicated components of the theory, such that the resulting theory correctly classiies all the training examples. Theory patchi...
متن کاملPatching up the myocardium.
Cell therapy, while retaining promise for cardiac regeneration, has thus far been encumbered by variable and unpredictable fates of delivered cells. In a recent issue of PNAS, Godier-Furnémont and colleagues describe a new strategy to regulate cell delivery by promoting specific migration and growth factor secretion behaviors of implanted cells from a decellularized matrix via biochemical preco...
