A transformational measurement model for structural equation modeling (SEM) of asymmetric non-normal data is proposed. This aligns with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method, creating adaptability to that deviate from normality. Distinctive properties connection and EM are maintenance normality assumption, which at core algorithm, applicability n...

Short title: Non-classical plasticity theories and generalized normality. A simple way to define the flow rules of plasticity models is the assumption of generalized normality associated with a suitable pseudo-potential function. This approach, however, is not usually employed to formulate endochronic theory and non-linear kinematic (NLK) hardening rules as well as generalized plasticity models...

General considerations Many valuable comments have been made by contributors and while some of the key issues have been aired, I would like to suggest that prior to considering effect sizes it is important to pay attention to the correct specification of the statistical model being used. Thus, for standard regression or multilevel models the assumption of Normality is typically made and much of...

This paper, one in a series on estimation with correlation coefficients, shows how to use any correlation coefficient to produce an estimate of location and scale. Since the normal distribution is so widely used, the method is illustrated using this distribution. Analyzers of normal data are advised to graph a quantile plot to check on the normality assumption before performing their data analy...

Researchers and investors are interested in the normality of return from stock market establishment Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). Nevertheless, a statistical distribution helps predict with help basic mean standard deviation values return. Hence, paper tested daily returns Nepalese market, Nepal Stock Exchange Limited (NEPSE). The followed results data visualization to determine have shown...

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesian Government issued a policy to implement Distance Learning (PJJ) or Online Learning. This applies all levels of education, including higher education. online learning, students are not only required have learning independence but also self-regulation and social support meet expected outcomes. study aims analyze effect independence, self-regulation, on stu...
