Abstract The problem of the reliability ammunition storage environment is a hot topic in field modern military research, and key to find out main factors that affect sensitive components. Grey relational entropy analysis method can order influencing factors, but it can’t judge influence size correlation. Pearson analyze linear correlation better. Therefore, this paper proposes for complex probl...

Interactive Computer Technologies (ICTs) have crept into education industry, thus dramatically causing transformation in instructional process. This study examined the relative and combined contributions of computer anxiety, self-concept and gender to teachers’ attitude towards the use of ICT(s). 454 Nigerian teachers constituted the sample. Three instruments were used to collect the data analy...

Abstract The Pearson product-moment correlation commonly used as statistical dependence measure was developed assuming normal marginal and addresses only linear dependence. In most applications, the distribution is assumed to be a multivariate normal or lognormal for tractable calculus even if the assumption may not be appropriate. A copula based approach couples marginal distributions to form ...

The current study aimed to investigate the relationship among clinical anger, affective and somatic symptoms in depressed patients. It was hypothesized that there would be significant relationship between clinical anger, affective and somatic symptoms in depressed patients. The sample of Seventy diagnosed patients was selected from different psychiatry departments of hospitals of Lahore. Clinic...

Despite the relevance of correlational studies for most research domains, many students, teachers, and researchers alike hold misconceptions concerning the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. One of these, the transitivity misconception, has not yet been documented in a systematic way. This paper summarizes the first empirical study, using 279 university students, and examines the r...

We developed an approach to automatically predict the personality traits of Java developers based on their source code for the PR-SOCO challenge 2016. The challenge provides a data set consisting of source code with their associated developers’ personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness). Our approach adapts features from the authorship identif...

where r1 + · · · + rm = k and rj ≥ 1. The problem of the moments consists of calculating μr1,...,rm(X) in terms of ξ, C. Until 1988 there was no general formula for any moment of arbitrary order k and for any parameters ξ, C and n. Considering the standardized bivariate normal distribution, Pearson and Young (1918) gave tables up to the 10-order moments, for correlation between the two variable...

Abstract This paper discusses how lognormal, Gumbel and log-Pearson type 3 distributions were eliminated as candidates for modelling at-site annual maximum discharge series in Bangladesh. Among candidate distributions, the generalized extreme value distribution best represented the statistical characteristics of observed data. Comparisons of distributions were based upon the root mean square de...

Abstract. A general method is presented for the assessment of data attribute variability, which plays an important role in initial screening of multiand high-dimensional data sets. Instead of the commonly used second centralized moment, known as variance, the proposed method allows a mathematically rigorous characterization of attribute sensitivity given not only Euclidean distances but partial...

The present study was aimed to investigate the emotional intelligence in relation to psychological well-being among students. The sample comprised 100 students (boys =50 & girls =50), who were randomly selected from Senior Secondary Schools, AMU, Aligarh. The mean age of students was 15 years. Well-Being Manifestation Measure Scale (WBMMS; Masse, et al. 1998a) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (...
