The Estimation of Item Response Models with the lmer Function from the lme4 Package in R [PDF]
In this paper we elaborate on the potential of the lmer function from the lme4 package in R for item response (IRT) modeling. In line with the package, an IRT framework is described based on generalized linear mixed modeling. The aspects of the framework

Regularization Paths for Generalized Linear Models via Coordinate Descent [PDF]
We develop fast algorithms for estimation of generalized linear models with convex penalties. The models include linear regression, two-class logistic regression, and multi- nomial regression problems while the penalties include ℓ1 (the lasso), ℓ2 (ridge

Elastic Net Regularization Paths for All Generalized Linear Models
The lasso and elastic net are popular regularized regression models for supervised learning. Friedman, Hastie, and Tibshirani (2010) introduced a computationally efficient algorithm for computing the elastic net regularization path for ordinary least ...

Generalized linear mixed models can detect unimodal species-environment relationships [PDF]
Niche theory predicts that species occurrence and abundance show non-linear, unimodal relationships with respect to environmental gradients. Unimodal models, such as the Gaussian (logistic) model, are however more difficult to fit to data than linear ...

Comparison of Logistic Regression and Generalized Linear Model for Identifying Accurate At – Risk Students [PDF]
Aim: To predict the accuracy percentage of At - risk students based on High withdrawal and Failure rate. Materials and methods: Logistic Regression with sample size = 20 and Generalised Linear Model (GLM) with sample size = 20 was iterated different times for predicting accuracy percentage of At - risk students.

Evaluating an Automated Number Series Item Generator Using Linear Logistic Test Models [PDF]
This study investigates the item properties of a newly developed Automatic Number Series Item Generator (ANSIG). The foundation of the ANSIG is based on five hypothesised cognitive operators. Thirteen item models were developed using the numGen R package and eleven were evaluated in this study.

Forecasting Prorocentrum minimum blooms in the Chesapeake Bay using empirical habitat models
Aquaculturists, local beach managers, and other stakeholders require forecasts of harmful biotic events, so they can assess and respond to health threats when harmful algal blooms (HABs) are present.
