Exercise) was a method of evaluation to assess the clinical skills of students through direct observation and provide constructive feedback. To develop a measure tool mini-CEX as an effective measure of evaluation, it is necessary to the validity and reliability of the accuracy of the mini

assumptions, and reliance on approximation formulae. We then design simulation exercises which evaluate the effect of each of these differences individually.

the model using simulation methods and reproduce portfolio excess returns comparable to the data. Corporate investment decisions are often evaluated in a real options context, 1 and option exercise can change the riskiness of a firm in various ways. For example, if growth opportunities are finite

evaluation exercise (`SENSEVAL') taking place under the auspices of ACL SIGLEX (the Lexicons Special Interest Group of the Association for Computational Linguistics) and EURALEX (European Association for Lexicography), ELSNET, and EU Projects SPARKLE and ECRAN, in 1998.

As applied to the behavior of homeowners with mortgages, option theory predicts that mortgage prepayment or default will be exercised if the call or put option is ‘‘in the money’ ’ by some specific amount. Our analysis: tests the extent to which the option approach can explain default

inventories. Subsequent discussion of those proposals resulted in senseval, the first evaluation exercise for word sense disambiguation (Kilgarriff and Palmer forthcoming). This article is a revised and extended version of our 1997 workshop paper, reviewing its observations and proposals and discussing them

Purpose. To determine the feasibility, reliability and validity of the mCEX when used to evaluate medical students ’ clinical skills in a medicine core clerkship. Method. In 2002, students were required to complete nine mCEX during their medicine clerkship. Mean mCEX scores were correlated

incentives in schools and by more extensive experimentation and evaluation of educational programs and school organizations. Incentives, decentralized decisionmaking, and evaluation are alien terms to education, in both industrial and developing countries, but they hold the key to improvement that has eluded

Abstract: As part of the COST 732 action more than a dozen different research groups have modelled the MUST experiment, as simulated in a wind tunnel. The model evaluation guidance developed within COST 732 recommends 'exploratory data analysis ' as one of the elements in model validation

Two implementations are given for Java's stackinspection access-control policy. Each implementation is obtained by generating an inlined reference monitor (IRM) for a different formulation of the policy. Performance of the implementations is evaluated, and one is found to be competitive
