Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
On Shewhart Control Charts for Zero-Truncated Negative Binomial Distributions
No full textThe negative binomial distribution (NBD) is extensively used for thedescription of data too heterogeneous to be fitted by Poissondistribution. Observed samples, however may be truncated, in thesense that the number of individuals falling into zero class cannot bedetermined, or the observational apparatus becomes active when atleast one event occurs. Chakraborty and Kakoty (1987) andChakraborty and Singh (1990) have constructed CUSUM andShewhart charts for zero-truncated Poisson distribution respectively.Recently, Chakraborty and Khurshid (2011 a, b) have constructedCUSUM charts for zero-truncated binomial distribution and doublytruncated binomial distribution respectively. Apparently, very littlework has specifically addressed control charts for the NBD (see, forexample, Kaminsky et al., 1992; Ma and Zhang, 1995; Hoffman, 2003;Schwertman. 2005).The purpose of this paper is to construct Shewhart control chartsfor zero-truncated negative binomial distribution (ZTNBD). Formulaefor the Average run length (ARL) of the charts are derived and studiedfor different values of the parameters of the distribution. OC curvesare also drawn
Fat -Jet Analyses Using Old and New Clustering Algorithms in New Higgs Boson Searches at the LHC
No full textWe compare different jet-clustering algorithms in establishing fully hadronic
final states stemming from the chain decay of a heavy Higgs state into a pair
of the 125 GeV Higgs boson that decays into bottom-antibottom quark pairs. Such
4 events typically give rise to boosted topologies, wherein
bottom-antibottom quark pairs emerging from each 125 GeV Higgs boson tend to
merge into a single, fat -jet. Assuming Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
settings, we illustrate how both the efficiency of selecting the multi-jet
final state and the ability to reconstruct from it the masses of all Higgs
bosons depend on the choice of jet-clustering algorithm and its parameter
settings. We indicate the optimal choice of clustering method for the purpose
of establishing such a ubiquitous Beyond the SM (BSM) signal, illustrated via a
Type-II 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM)
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Probability and geometry on some noncommutative manifolds
No full textSubmitted to Cornell University’s online archive www.arXiv.org in 2003 by Partha Sarathi ChakrabortyIn a noncommutative torus, effect of perturbation by inner derivation on the associated quantum stochastic process and geometric pa- rameters like volume and scalar curvature have been studied. Cohomolog- ical calculations show that the above perturbation produces new spectral triples. Also for the Weyl C∗-algebra, the Laplacian associated with a natu- ral stochastic process is obtained and associated volume form is calculated.Partha Sarathi Chakraborty, Debashish Goswami and

MEASUREMENT ERROR EFFECT ON THE POWER OF THE CONTROL CHART FOR ZERO-TRUNCATED BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION UNDER STANDARDIZATION PROCEDURE
No full textAbstract: Measurement error effect on the power of control charts for zero truncated Poisson distribution and ratio of two Poisson distributions are recently studied by Chakraborty and Khurshid (2013a) and Chakraborty and Khurshid (2013b) respectively. In this paper, in addition to the expression for the power of control chart for ZTBD based on standardized normal variate is obtained, numerical calculations are presented to see the effect of errors on the power curve. To study the sensitivity of the monitoring procedure, average run length (ARL) is also considered
