A pilot study: vital methodological issues

Business: Theory and Practice, 2015
A pilot study represents a vital step for conducting a full-fledged study soundly. In fact, a well-conducted pilot study can help the researchers to design a clear road map they can follow. Conducting a pilot study professionally, however, involves vital

Assessment of bivariate normality

, 2004
There are three methods, which are most commonly used to assess the bivariate normality of paired data, two of which are also used to assess the multivariate normality. Nevertheless, none of the methods is very efficient or conclusive in their assessment

The subject of exemption: through discourses of normalization and individualization in Denmark

Nordic Journal of Social Research, 2016
This article examines the constructions of the deviant subject in Danish Foucauldian educational research. Following the work of Foucault, we argue that the deviant subject, on the one hand, could be considered as a subject of exemption.

Slope semistability of Veronese normal bundles [PDF]

arXiv
A classical fact is that normal bundles of rational normal curves are well-balanced. We generalize this by proving that all Veronese normal bundles are slope semistable. We also determine the line bundle decomposition of the restriction of degree 2 Veronese normal bundles to lines and rational normal curves.

Normal homogeneous Finsler spaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
In this paper, we study normal homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first define the notion of a normal homogeneous Finsler space, using the method of isometric submersion of Finsler metrics. Then we study the geometric properties. In particular, we establish a technique to reduce the classification of normal homogeneous Finsler spaces of positive flag ...

Two New Estimators of Entropy for Testing Normality [PDF]

, 2014
We present two new estimators for estimating the entropy of absolutely continuous random variables. Some properties of them are considered, specifically consistency of the first is proved.

∆-normal spaces and decompositions of normality

Applied General Topology, 2009
[EN] Generalizations of normality, called (weakly) (functionally) ∆-normal spaces are introduced and their interrelation with some existing notions of normality is studied. ∆-regular spaces are introduced which is a generalization of seminormal, semiregular and θ-regular space.

On normal and strongly normal lattices [PDF]

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1991
In this paper we will investigate the properties of normality and strong normality of lattices and their relationships to zero-one measures. We will eventually establish necessary and sufficient conditions for lattices to be strongly normal. These properties are then investigated in the case of separated lattices.

Newtonian dynamical systems admitting normal blow-up of points [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
Class of Newtonian dynamical systems admitting normal blow-up of points in Riemannian manifolds is considered. Geometric interpretation for weak normality condition, which arose earlier in the theory of dynamical systems admitting the normal shift of hypersurfaces, is found.

Invariance principles for standard-normalized and self-normalized random fields [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
We investigate the invariance principle for set-indexed partial sums of a stationary field $(X\_{k})\_{k\in\mathbb{Z}^{d}}$ of martingale-difference or independent random variables under standard-normalization or self-normalization respectively.
