Transitions in drinking behaviors across the college years: A latent transition analysis [PDF]

open access: yesAddictive Behaviors, 2019
College student alcohol use remains a considerable concern. While many colleges provide universal interventions surrounding matriculation, trends indicate alcohol use increases over the college years. This study utilized a person-centered approach to examine changes in drinking across college and predictors (expectancies, attitudes, norms, and gender ...

The endpoint of the electroweak phase transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The 3d SU(2)-Higgs model is used to find the critical Higgs mass above which the first order phase transition ends. One method is focused on the disappearance of the two-state signal of the scalar condensate (vanishing of the latent heat). Another method

Fraction Errors in a Digital Mathematics Environment: Latent Class and Transition Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Cognition, 2019
Student struggles with fractions are well documented, and due to fractions’ importance to later mathematics achievement, identification of the errors students make when solving fraction problems is an area of interest for both researchers and teachers ...

Fingerprinting models of first-order phase transitions by the synergy between collider and gravitational-wave experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the sensitivity of future space-based interferometers such as LISA and DECIGO to the parameters of new particle physics models which drive a first-order phase transition in the early Universe.

Finite size effects at phase transition in compact U(1) gauge theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We present and discuss the results of a Monte-Carlo simulation of the phase transition in pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with Wilson action on a hypercubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions.

Co-occurrence, stability and manifestation of child and adolescent mental health problems: a latent transition analysis

open access: yesBMC Psychology, 2022
Background Complex constellations of socio-emotional and behavioural problems (i.e., mental health problems) in childhood and adolescence are common and heighten the risk for subsequent personality, anxiety and mood disorders in adulthood.

Student perspectives on the relationship between a curve and its tangent in the transition from Euclidean Geometry to Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The tangent line is a central concept in many mathematics and science courses. In this paper we describe a model of students’ thinking – concept images as well as ability in symbolic manipulation – about the tangent line of a curve as it has developed ...

Alternative Models of Dynamics in Binary Time-Series-Cross-Section Models: The Example of State Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This paper investigates a variety of dynamic probit models for time-series-cross-section data in the context of explaining state failure. It shows that ordinary probit, which ignores dynamics, is misleading.

Learning scientific reasoning: A latent transition analysis

open access: yesLearning and Individual Differences, 2021
Primary education in many countries enables children to learn the scientific reasoning skills of hypothesizing, experimenting, interpreting data and drawing conclusions. Research has shown that these component skills develop at a different pace and with substantial variation among same-age children.

Factor-Driven Two-Regime Regression

open access: yes, 2020
We propose a novel two-regime regression model where regime switching is driven by a vector of possibly unobservable factors. When the factors are latent, we estimate them by the principal component analysis of a panel data set.
