Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests
A general formula ( α ) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from differen...

Rich Feature Hierarchies for Accurate Object Detection and Semantic Segmentation
Object detection performance, as measured on the canonical PASCAL VOC dataset, has plateaued in the last few years. The best-performing methods are complex ensemble systems that...
fastp: an ultra-fast all-in-one FASTQ preprocessor
Abstract Motivation Quality control and preprocessing of FASTQ files are essential to providing clean data for downstream analysis. Traditionally, a different tool is used for e...
Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism
A new approach to the construction of first-principles pseudopotentials is described. The method allows transferability to be improved systematically while holding the cutoff ra...
Generative Adversarial Nets
Racialized or ethnically marginalized groups typically have strong loyalties to particular political parties, but can these group loyalties be undermined? In this paper, I inves...
The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers

Compressed sensing
Suppose x is an unknown vector in Ropfm (a digital image or signal); we plan to measure n general linear functionals of x and then reconstruct. If x is known to be compressible ...
An Analysis of Transformations
Summary In the analysis of data it is often assumed that observations y 1, y 2, …, yn are independently normally distributed with constant variance and with expectations specifi...
Modernity and Self-Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age
The reflexivity of modernity extends into core of the self. Put in another way, in the context of a post-traditional order, the self becomes a reflexive project. One concerns th...
