Toward Psychometric Learning Analytics: Augmenting the Urnings Algorithm with Response Times
Abstract Adaptive learning systems (ALS) aim to tailor the educational material to match the student's needs, ultimately improving the learning outcomes. An ALS dynamically adjust the level of practice based on the student's ability; therefore, obtaining accurate ability estimates is crucial.

On Finite-Time Ruin Probabilities for Classical Risk Models [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the problem of ruin in the classical compound binomial and compound Poisson risk models. Our primary purpose is to extend to those models an exact formula derived by Picard and Lefèvre (1997) for the probability of (non-)ruin

Tactical Refereeing and Signaling by Publishing
ABSTRACT Peer review is usually conducted to allocate limited resources, such as the budget of a funder or the pages of a journal. Limited capacity may bias peer evaluations, precisely because approving a peer's worthy project consumes capacity, jeopardizing the referee's own project's chances.

A Note on the Probability of Winning a Lottery when the Number of Competitors is a Binomial Random Variable [PDF]
Consider a model in which a consumer faces a lottery with j other people for a prize, so that the probability of winning the prize is 1/(j+1). Now let j be a random variable, determined by the binomial distribution. Specifically, let there be n potential

Asymptotic Properties for a General Class of Szász–Mirakjan–Durrmeyer Operators
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a general family of Szász–Mirakjan–Durrmeyer type operators depending on an integer parameter j∈ℤ$$ j\in \mathbb{Z} $$. They can be viewed as a generalization of the Szász–Mirakjan–Durrmeyer operators, Phillips operators, and corresponding Kantorovich modifications of higher order.

Abstract There are no theoretical formulas that can accurately predict the sand transport rate (Qm) over the Gobi surface. We report herein high‐frequency field observations of wind‐blown sand processes over the Gobi surface under extremely high winds in eastern Xinjiang, China. The results reveal that the power‐law exponent of the scaling relationship

A Cross‐Cultural and Developmental Investigation of the Association Between Color and Temperature
ABSTRACT The perception of colors involves many contexts in which human beings develop connections. Colors and temperatures are seemingly unrelated concepts, yet our brains have created ways of linking them. According to the literature, primarily from Western cultures, colors such as red and yellow are typically associated with warmth, whereas blue is ...
