Methods for Ordinal Peer Grading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
MOOCs have the potential to revolutionize higher education with their wide outreach and accessibility, but they require instructors to come up with scalable alternates to traditional student evaluation. Peer grading -- having students assess each other --

Semiparametric Modeling of Ordinal Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Parametric models for categorical ordinal response variables, like the proportional odds model or the continuation ratio model, assume that the predictor is given as a linear form of covariates.

Quantifying association in ordinal data [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, 2010
What is non-parametric correlation? A non-parametric (or ordinal) correlation coefficient for two variables quantifies the extent to which there is, in the study sample, a consistent relationship between the values for the two variables. The correlation coefficient indexes the strength of the relationship found, from zero (no discernible relationship ...

Ordinal Synchronization: Using ordinal patterns to capture interdependencies between time series

open access: yes, 2018
We introduce Ordinal Synchronization ($OS$) as a new measure to quantify synchronization between dynamical systems. $OS$ is calculated from the extraction of the ordinal patterns related to two time series, their transformation into $D$-dimensional ...

Algorithms for item categorization based on ordinal ranking data

open access: yes, 2016
We present a new method for identifying the latent categorization of items based on their rankings. Complimenting a recent work that uses a Dirichlet prior on preference vectors and variational inference, we show that this problem can be effectively ...

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

The skills required for transition to university and study in biological sciences: A student perspective

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioscience students were asked for their opinions on the value and teaching of skills. 204 responded that teamwork, time management and study skills are necessary to reach University, that scientific writing, research, laboratory and presentation skills are taught effectively during their studies, while other skills are gained inherently through study ...
