We present the R package BASS as a tool for nonparametric regression. The primary focus of the package is fitting fully Bayesian adaptive spline surface (BASS) models and performing global sensitivity analyses of these models. The BASS framework is similar to that of Bayesian multivariate adaptive regression splines (BMARS) from Denison, Mallick, and Smith (1998), but with many added features. ...

Much research on cognitive development focuses either on early-emerging domain-specific knowledge or domain-general learning mechanisms. However, little research examines how these sources of knowledge interact. Previous research suggests that young infants can make inferences from samples to populations (Xu & Garcia, 2008) and 11- to 12.5-month-old infants can integrate psychological and physi...

organs. There are only two serious limitations to using feather pulp for electrophoretic analysis. First, the birds must either be molting when sampled or be subjected to plucking to stimulate feather regrowth and then recaptured at a later date. Second, in small birds such as Bobolinks, warblers (Parulidae), or chickadees (Parus spp.), only tiny amounts of tissue can be obtained from the fligh...

Background & Objective: To recognize the challenges and obstacles of academic culture in institutionalizing the quality culture in higher education, the Grounded Theory research method helped us to provide a conceptual model in higher education. This model would provide a correct understanding of the challenges and obstacles of academic culture for the beneficiaries. Materials & Methods: The p...
