A doubling method for the generalized lambda distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces a new family of generalized lambda distributions (GLDs) based on a method of doubling symmetric GLDs. The focus of the development is in the context of L-moments and L-correlation theory. As such, ...
Characterizing Tukey h and h-h distributions through L-moments and the L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces the Tukey family of symmetric h and asymmetric hh-distributions in the contexts of univariate L-moments and the L-correlation. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal ...
A L-moment based analog for the Schmeiser-Deutsch class of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper characterizes the conventional moment-based Schmeiser-Deutsch (S-D) class of distributions through the method of L-moments. The system can be used in a variety of settings such as simulation or modeling various ...
On the order statistics of standard normal based power method distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for determining the expectations of order statistics associated with
the standard normal distribution Z and its powers of order three and five Z3 and Z5. The
procedure is demonstrated for ...
A Method for Simulating Burr Type III and Type XII Distributions through 𝐿-Moments and 𝐿-Correlations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This paper derives the Burr Type III and Type XII family of distributions in the contexts of univariate 𝐿-moments and the 𝐿-
correlations. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal distributions ...
An L-Moment Based Characterization of the Family of Dagum Distributions
(Scienpress Ltd., 2013)
This paper introduces a method for simulating univariate and multivariate Dagum
distributions through the method of 𝐿-moments and 𝐿-correlations. A method is developed
for characterizing non-normal Dagum distributions ...
The Paradox of Increasing both Enrollment and Graduation Rates : Acknowledging Elephants in the Ivory Tower
(Sciedu Press, 2014)
The argument is made that increasing enrollments and graduation rates cannot occur while maintaining academic
standards. Several U.S. universities are attempting to increase their enrollments to counter the financial ...
Are you African or African-American? Exploring the Identity Experiences of Female STEM Students Born in Africa Now Living in America
(2018)
Amongst the participants of a qualitative study of Black female students in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) were two individuals who were born on the African continent. These students moved to the ...
“Do we teach subjects or students?” Analyzing science and mathematics teacher conversations about issues of equity in the classroom
(WILEY, 2019-05)
Teachers involved in a Master's level course in diversity participated in virtual, synchronous, anonymized discussions around issues of ethnic and racial diversity, gender, and stereotypes that could impact their students’ ...
Deconstructing the Syllabus: Re-envisioning Digital Learning with the Shift to Canvas
(Region 11 Leveraging Canvas Conference, 2019-06-13)
A group of four faculty members and a librarian present ideas for integrating innovative tools and ideas into Canvas for student in higher education (The University of Texas at Arlington), with an overarching focus on ...
