Selective Schools

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2000
AbstractThis paper studies how schooling admission tests affect economic performance in an economy where individuals are endowed with both academic and non‐academic abilities and both abilities matter for labour productivity. We develop a simple model with schools run by the goverment, where individuals signal their abilities by taking an admission ...

Does Natural Selection Select for Natural Selection?

2021
Humanity’s colossal ecological crisis is an explicit function of our architectural and socially enforced spaces of occupancy, plots of arrogation, the places in which we choose to live, altering our surroundings, inventing and constructing “our” possessions.

Selection Bias and Self-Selection

1987
The problem of selection bias in economic and social statistics arises when a rule other than simple random sampling is used to sample the underlying population that is the object of interest. The distorted representation of a true population as a consequence of a sampling rule is the essence of the selection problem.

Genetic Algorithm Guided Selection:  Variable Selection and Subset Selection

Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, 2002
A novel Genetic Algorithm guided Selection method, GAS, has been described. The method utilizes a simple encoding scheme which can represent both compounds and variables used to construct a QSAR/QSPR model. A genetic algorithm is then utilized to simultaneously optimize the encoded variables that include both descriptors and compound subsets.

When selection becomes selection bias

European Journal of Endocrinology
Abstract Selection in clinical research does not necessarily result in selection bias. To understand when selection leads to bias, we discuss collider-conditioning bias, which is a common and often self-inflicted type of selection bias. Collider-conditioning bias may be difficult to recognize, and paying more attention to the bias could ...

Selective Visual Attention: Selective Cuing, Selective Cognitive Processing, and Selective Response Processing

1994
Selective attention systems can be characterized as a collection of brain mechanisms. The function of these mechanisms is the modulation of the impact of external and internal environmental stimuli on overt or covert (e.g., cognitive) behavior of the organism.

Software selection VI

Nutrition & Food Science, 1994
Features a nutrition package aimed at caterers, schoolteachers or others who want to evaluate the quality of school meals. The package can be used to evaluate either an “average” diet from a series of menus which provide lunches for a school, or to assess an individual pupil’s diet over a period of at least five school days. SMAP can be used on any IBM
