Discriminant validity and interrelations of conceptual and procedural knowledge in fractions and algebra: Evidence from confirmatory factor analysis

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper‐and‐pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra.

Social and emotional pathways to shame reduction: An RCT with preservice teachers

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Shame is an unpleasant, activating emotion that has been shown to undermine learners' motivation and achievement and identity development in mathematics education. Recent studies have implemented positive psychology interventions (PPIs) to reduce preservice teachers' shame in mathematics, with promising quantitative outcomes ...

Bias and precision in true‐score estimation

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We discuss two approaches to estimating the true score from classical test theory, each with a corresponding measure of uncertainty due to measurement error: the classical method with the standard error of measurement (SEM) and Kelley's method with the standard error of estimation (SEE).

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
