John A. Johnson and Jonathan N. Cheek Pennsylvania State University 1,iellesley College Short Abstract Factor analysis of Hogan's Empathy Scale, scored in Likert format, yielded four factors: Social Self-Confidence, ~ven-Temperedness, Sen­ sitivity, and Flexibility. Correlations with ten personality measures confirmed the factors' psychological meanings. 'l'he factors accollllted for small but ...

A new minimal parametrization of multivariable linear system is proposed. The parametrization is defined as a perturbation around the realization of a nominal transfer function. A particular parameter basis is selected which, for the impulse response identification problem, leads to a Hessian matrix of the criterion function which is equal to the identity matrix.

Suppose we are given a compact curve x. It has long been known that τ is generic [14]. We show that δ is equal to S ′. In [14], it is shown that Peano’s criterion applies. A central problem in rational logic is the computation of Weil–de Moivre domains.

This note describes a practical improvement in the computational efficiency of the spectral signal-to-noise ratio (SSNR) resolution criterion for correlation-averaged images. The total set of N images is randomly partitioned into ng subsets, each subset is separately averaged, and a reduced form of the SSNR is computed from these average images. In general, larger values of ng achieve lower sta...

A linear classification rule (used with equal covariance matrices) was contrasted with a quadratic rule (used with unequal covariance matrices) for accuracy of internal and external classification. The comparisons were made for seven situations which resulted from combining conditions (equal and unequal covariance matrices, and two and three criterion groups) for different sets of real data. Fo...

A critical element in the sustainability of any public policy is the fair treatment of ‘similar’ individuals. This paper introduces a new dimension of merit to evaluate public school assignment mechanisms based on this notion of horizontal equity. The findings reveal that all of the prominent assignment mechanisms discussed in the literature fail to satisfy this ‘equal treatment’ criterion. I a...

For a weakly collisional two-ion species plasma, it is shown that the minimum phase velocity of ion acoustic waves (IAWs) at the sheath-presheath boundary is equal to twice the phase velocity in the bulk plasma. This condition provides a theoretical basis for the experimental results that each ion species leaves the plasma with a drift velocity equal to the IAW phase velocity in the bulk plasma...

Abstract Out-of-step oscillation separation devices based on apparent impedance angle trajectory are widely used in the power grid China, and their reliability is of great importance. In this paper, influence mechanism series compensation analyzed. It reveals that capacitors reduce equivalent consequently cannot pass through all four zones, resulting risk failure for devices. A revised method p...

Savage denied that Bayesian decision theory applies in large worlds. This paper proposes a minimal extension of Bayesian decision theory to a large-world context that evaluates an event E by assigning it a number π(E) that reduces to an orthodox probability for a class of measurable events. The Hurwicz criterion evaluates π(E) as a weighted arithmetic mean of its upper and lower probabilities, ...
