    Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply

    This reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.

    Underground pedestrian network for urban commercial development in Tsim Sha Tsui of Hong Kong

    No full text
    Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most important CBD areas in Hong Kong. From early 2000s, a new underground pedestrian network was being developed to extend the original Tsim Sha Tsui Metro Station to access a broader scope. This paper introduces statistical analyzes on land use, pedestrian flows, pedestrian trajectories as well as qualitative investigation on planning strategies, urban renewal and real estate development to answer the following research questions: How people use this underground space network as a second level of regional pedestrian system parallel to the surface street network? How this underground pedestrian system distributes people to improve accessibility of commercial land use? How newly-developed large-scale shopping malls directly connected to the underground space distribute pedestrians to the community more efficiently as well as benefit to their own profits?

    The analysis presented in this document is use to demo the code for the R package tidyproteomics. The underlying data is based on previously published and publicly available data [1]. Raw data was analyzed using ProteomeDiscoverer 2.5, FragPipe 19.1, and MaxQuant 1.6.10.43 with basic settings for mass tolerance and PTMs. The exported results are provided here. Tidyproteomics is a suite of tools designed to facilitate the analysis of proteomics data with a focus on reproducibility and transparency. The project aims to provide a user-friendly platform for proteomics data analysis. To achieve this, tidyproteomics has been developed using open-source software and is available for anyone interested in proteomics analysis. The platform offers a range of analysis tools, including data pre-processing, normalization, visualization, and statistical analysis.1. Wang, Feng, Shan Li, Nadia Houerbi, and Tsui-Fen Chou. 2022.

    Volatility Dynamics in Foreign Exchange Rates: Further Evidence from the Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar

    Get PDF
    Singapore dollar are analyzed in this paper. Our approach can simultaneously capture the empirical regularities of persistent and asymmetric effects in volatility and timevarying correlations of financial time series. Consistent with the results of Tse and Tsui (1997), there is only some weak support for asymmetric volatility in the case of the Malaysian ringgit when the two currencies are measured against the US dollar. However, there is strong evidence that depreciation shocks have a greater impact on future volatility levels compared with appreciation shocks of the same magnitude when both currencies measured against the yen. Moreover, evidence of time-varying correlation is highly significant when both currencies are measured against the yen. Regardless of the choice of the numeraire currency and the volatility models, shocks to exchange rate volatility are found to be significantly persistent.Constant correlations; Exchange rate volatility; Fractional integration; Long memory; Bivariate asymmetric GARCH; Varying correlations
