Evaluating the effect of emotions on academic achievement in mathematics: A quantile regression and Bayesian quantile regression approach

Quantile regression is a useful method to analyse data such that the estimates are more robust to outliers and the conditional distributions are more reliable for asymmetric distributions with respect to the commonly used ordinary least squares regression. Besides this, the quantile regression analysis might also include extra information on the...

Designing a User Interface for Improving the Usability of a Statistical Disclosure Control Tool

Data sets often contain personal data that are not needed for analysis. Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) is a personal data minimizing technology to reduce personal data in a data set while maintaining the utility of the data set at an acceptable level. SDC tools usage lags due to the complexity encountered by users. The aim of the research...

Theory and practice of linked open statistical data

The number of Open Statistical Data available for reuse is rapidly increasing. Linked open data technology enables easy reuse and linking of data residing in different locations in a simple and straightforward manner. Yet, many people are not familiar with the technology standards and tools for making use of open statistical data. In this...

Methods & tools for publishing & reusing linked open statistical data

The number of open data available for reuse is rapidly increasing. A large number of these data are numerical thus can be easily visualized. Linked open data technology enables easy reuse and linking of data residing in di.erent locations. In this workshop, we will present a number of technologies and tools that are currently under...

OpenGovIntelligence Project Deliverable D4.1- Pilots and Evaluation Plan V1: Fostering Innovation and Creativity in Europe through Public Administration Modernization towards Supplying and Exploiting Linked Open Statistical Data

In this report evaluation methods and measures for the OpenGovIntelligence (OGI) project are presented. The evaluation of OGI innovation ecosystem on public administration is based on four main areas that will be evaluated: 1. Co-Creation Framework. How will this framework enable co-creation? 2. OGI ICT Toolkit (Building blocks and Cubes Design)...

Open Statistical Data: Potential and Challenges

Opening up data is a political priority worldwide. Linked open data is considered as the most mature technology for publishing and reusing open data. A large number of open data is numerical and actually concerns statistics. In the literature, statistical data have been heavily studied using the data cube model. Recently, ICT tools have emerged...

The triggering probability of radio-loud AGN: A comparison of high and low excitation radio galaxies in hosts of different colors

Evolution of ocean wave statistics in shallow water: Refraction and diffraction over seafloor topography

We present a stochastic model for the evolution of random ocean surface waves in coastal waters with complex seafloor topography. First, we derive a deterministic coupled-mode model based on a forward scattering approximation of the nonlinear mild slope equation; this model describes the evolution of random, directionally spread waves over fully...

Application of statistical methods for making maintenance decisions within power utilities
