With samples from Akure Nigeria, the study examined the variation of the satisfaction of the people living around GSM base stations with distance away from the location of the base station. Using Crosstabs' nominal-by-nominal measures, the study found that the further the distances away from the base station, the higher the percentages of those that are satisfied; When the effect of fear of hea...

Contingency tables are widely used in many fields to analyze the relationship or infer the association between two or more variables. Indeed, due to their simplicity and ease, they are one of the first methods used to analyze gathered data. Typically, the construction of contingency tables from source data is considered straightforward since all data is supposed to be aggregated at a single par...

I describe a group exercise that I give to my undergraduate biostatistics class. The exercise involves analyzing a series of 200 consecutive basketball free-throw attempts to determine whether there is any evidence for sequential dependence in the probability of making a free-throw. The students are given the exercise before they have learned the appropriate statistical tests, so that they can ...

This paper tests the impact of differences in culture on telecommuting in the United States and Mexico. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of each country’s culture on the perceptions of telecommuting satisfaction and organizational support for telecommuting. The research questions assess the telecommuting satisfaction, and extent of support by organizational policies for tele...

We propose a strategy for disclosure risk evaluation and disclosure control of a microdata set based on fitting decomposable models of a multiway contingency table corresponding to the microdata set. By fitting decomposable models, we can evaluate per-record identification (or re-identification) risk of a microdata set. Furthermore we can easily determine swappability of risky records which doe...

This paper explores different methods for interpreting the results of multiple, cascading machine learners, each of which performs a different task. For instance, the first learner may classify news as “sports,” the second learner may extract the people from the sports articles, and the third learner may classify the extracted people as belonging to a certain team. We present a framework for mo...

Extending the notion of indispensable binomials of a toric ideal ((14), (7)), we define indispensable monomials of a toric ideal and establish some of their properties. They are useful for searching indispensable binomials of a toric ideal and for proving the existence or non-existence of a unique minimal system of binomials generators of a toric ideal. Some examples of indispensable monomials ...

This paper presents a technique that allows us to detect similarities among prosodic labels used to describe pitch accents within the ToBI framework. The inter-label proximity is determined empirically as a result of the evidence obtained in contingency tables of inter-transcriber agreement tests and in the confusion matrices used in automatic prosodic labeling experiments. This tool may be use...

We propose an approach for assessing the risk of individual identification in the release of categorical data. This requires the accurate calculation of predictive probabilities for those cells in a contingency table which have small sample frequencies, making the problem somewhat different from usual contingency table estimation, where interest is generally focussed on regions of high probabil...
