How Predictable Ratings are: The Role of Personality Traits [PDF]
Previous research has shown that raters’ personality characteristics exert an influence on their ratings, skewing the results and invalidating the decisions made about students’ future life.

Rating scales for neurologists [PDF]
A neurologist once told me that he found the subject of rating scales “exceedingly dull”, while another found the area “abstruse”. I have therefore attempted to produce an overview that is helpful and conveys some of the basic principals underlying outcomes measurement and rating scales.

Criticality in sheared, disordered solids. I. Rate effects in stress and diffusion [PDF]
Rate-effects in sheared disordered solids are studied using molecular dynamics simulations of binary Lennard-Jones glasses in two and three dimensions. In the quasistatic (QS) regime, systems exhibit critical behavior: the magnitudes of avalanches are power-law distributed with a maximum cutoff that diverges with increasing system size $L$.

The effects of changes in the order of verbal labels and numerical values on children's scores on attitude and rating scales [PDF]
Research with adults has shown that variations in verbal labels and numerical scale values on rating scales can affect the responses given. However, few studies have been conducted with children.

Accelerated Almost-Sure Convergence Rates for Nonconvex Stochastic Gradient Descent using Stochastic Learning Rates [PDF]
Large-scale optimization problems require algorithms both effective and efficient. One such popular and proven algorithm is Stochastic Gradient Descent which uses first-order gradient information to solve these problems. This paper studies almost-sure convergence rates of the Stochastic Gradient Descent method when instead of deterministic, its ...

On the spatial scaling of seismicity rate [PDF]
Scaling analysis of seismicity in the space-time-magnitude domain very often starts from the relation N(m,L)=a(L)*10**(-bm)*L**c for the rate of seismic events of magnitude M>m in an area of size L. There is some evidence in favor of multifractality being present in seismicity.
