Session 2520 Considering Numerical Error Propagation in Modeling and Regression of Data
"... The use of user-friendly interactive regression software enables undergraduate engineering students to reach a high level of sophistication in regression, correlation and analysis of data. In order to interpret correctly the results, the students must be familiar with potential causes for poor fits ..."

The production of cognitive achievement in children: Home, school, and racial test score gaps
- Journal of Human Capital
, 2007
"... This paper studies the determinants of children’s scores on tests of cognitive achievement in math and reading. Using rich longitudinal data on test scores, home environments, and schools, we implement alternative specifications for the cognitive achievement production function that allow achievemen ..."

and Hispanic children. The estimated model captures key patterns in the data, such as the widening of minority-white test score gaps with age and differences in the gap pattern between Hispanics and blacks. We find that differences in mother’s ability (as measured by AFQT) accounts for about half of the test
Cross-Validation of the Computerized Adaptive Screening Test (CAST)
"... The Computerized Adaptive Screening Test (CAST) was developed to provide an estimate at recruiting stations of prospects' Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) scores. The CAST was designed to replace the paper-and-pencil Enlistment Screening Test (ES'"). The initial 7alidation study ..."

Army recruiting stations and were subsequently matched by social security number to applicant tapes from Military Entrance Processing Stations to obtain AFQT scores and relevant demographic data. These data were examined using regression, discriminant function, and cross-tabulation analyses to provide
Education and Labor-Market Discrimination
, 2008
"... Short Abstract: We combine statistical discrimination with educational sorting. Our model predicts that blacks get more education than whites of similar ability and that blacks have lower wages than similarly educated whites, both con…rmed in the data. Our model suggests, that when measuring the bla ..."

"... We calculate the cross sections for inclusive one-pion, two-pion and eta photoproduction in nuclei in the photon energy range from 300 MeV to 900 MeV within the framework of a semi-classical BUU transport model. Our results are compared with existing experimental data and discussed with respect to a ..."
