In fact, this study benefits from the authors’ previous experiences with the analysis of data from the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, which, although randomized, was relatively poorly implemented as an experiment..At

Doses are assigned to subsequent patients so as to obtain maximal and rapid information about the dose-response curve. We impute missing final responses

Because of the small numbers, sensitivity to prior distribution specifications was considerable, and we compared the effect of assuming independent prior distributions on each cell in the 3 × 2 factorial with that of using a more structured prior distribution incorporating exchangeable ro

First, proper, seemingly noninformative prior distributions may overwhelm the likelihood (Gelman, 1996). Using a simple example, we demonstrate this problem and propose a solution. Second, we discuss problems with two straightforward M

We demonstrate this idea by presenting a simple model for .-strand pairing and a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for inference. We apply the approach to prediction of 3-dimensional contacts for two example proteins.

Part of the difficulty in resolving this debate is the lack of solid empirical evidence regarding the true impact of educational initiatives. For example, educational researchers rarely are able to engage in controlled, randomized experiments. The efficacy of so-

Based on the results of the trial, a decision is made to either enter phase III in the drug’s development, stop the drug’s development, or conduct another phase II trial. Such a design is inefficient, in terms of both time

Soil texture measurements are recorded for each horizon (or layer) of soil. Soil horizon profiles are modeled as realizations of Markov chains
