Mutualistic Coupling Between Vocabulary and Reasoning in Young Children: A Replication and Extension of the Study by Kievit et al. (2017).
Get PDFRecent work suggests that the positive manifold of individual differences may arise, or be amplified, by a mechanism called mutualism. Kievit et al. (2017) showed that a latent change score implementation of the mutualism model outperformed alternative models, demonstrating positive reciprocal interactions between vocabulary and reasoning during development. Here, we replicated these findings in a cohort of children ( N = 227, 6-8 years old) and expanded the findings in three directions. First, a third wave of data was included, and the findings were robust to alternative model specifications. Second, a simulation demonstrated that data sets of similar magnitude and distributional properties could have, in principle, favored alternative models with close to 100% power. Third, we found support for the hypothesis that mutualistic-coupling effects are stronger and self-feedback parameters weaker in younger children. Together, these findings replicated the work of Kievit et al. (2017) and further support the hypothesis that mutualism supports cognitive development
Analysis code written in R
No full textThis codefile analyses the raw behavioural data contained in this project (Kievit, Scholte, Waldorp & Borsboom; Inter- and intra-individual differences in fluid reasoning show distinct cortical responses). The raw datafiles should be downloaded into a working directory prior to running this code (ensure updating the 'setwd' line in the code).

Get PDFAcross scientific disciplines, there is a rapidly growing recognition of the need for more statistically robust, transparent approaches to data visualization. Complementary to this, many scientists have called for plotting tools that accurately and transparently convey key aspects of statistical effects and raw data with minimal distortion. Previously common approaches, such as plotting conditional mean or median barplots together with error-bars have been criticized for distorting effect size, hiding underlying patterns in the raw data, and obscuring the assumptions upon which the most commonly used statistical tests are based. Here we describe a data visualization approach which overcomes these issues, providing maximal statistical information while preserving the desired ‘inference at a glance’ nature of barplots and other similar visualization devices. These “raincloud plots” can visualize raw data, probability density, and key summary statistics such as median, mean, and relevant confidence intervals in an appealing and flexible format with minimal redundancy. In this tutorial paper, we provide basic demonstrations of the strength of raincloud plots and similar approaches, outline potential modifications for their optimal use, and provide open-source code for their streamlined implementation in R, Python and Matlab ( https://github.com/RainCloudPlots/RainCloudPlots).

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Prototype Sistem Informasi Market Sample Database untuk Market Research pada PT. Kievit Indonesia
Get PDFPT. Kievit Indonesia memiliki divisi Product Development (R&D) yang salah satu kegiatan bisnisnya adalah melakukan market research. Menggunakan sistem informasi yang dikembangkan internal perusahaan, terdapat permasalahan dalam proses sensory evaluation. Penilaian sensory evaluation yang berbeda dari setiap tim panelis menghasilkan data penilaian yang berbeda juga terhadap sebuah produk. Hasil penilaian sensory evaluation antara produk yang satu dan lainnya tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan tim panelis yang berbeda. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, dibangun sistem informasi market sample database dengan menggunakan metode prototype yang dapat memberikan data sensory evaluation dari setiap tim panelis terhadap sebuah produk.PT. Kievit Indonesia had a division of Product Development (R&D) which one of its business activities was to do Market Research. Through using information system developed by the internal company, there was a problem in Sensory Evaluation. The difference results of Sensory Evaluation assesment from the panelists gained different data assesment toward a product. Assesment result between a product and another could not be compared by different panelist teams. To overcome such problem, researcher built an information system named Market Sample Database through using Prototype method that could give Sensory Evaluation data from every panelist team toward a product

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
Get PDFBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
