How to evaulate the unusualness (base rate) of WJ IV cluster or test score di...Kevin McGrew
The WJ IV provides two primary methods for comparing tests or cluster scores. One is based on a predictive model (the variation and comparison procedures) and the other allows comparisons of SEM confidence bands, which takes into account each measures reliability. A third method for comparing scores, one that takes into account the correlation between compared measures (ability cohesion model) is not provided, but is frequently used by assessment professionals. The three types of score comparison methods are described and new information, via a "rule of thumb" summary slide and nomograph, are provided to allow WJ IV users to evaluate scores via all three methods.
A presentation on deciding when the scores from two tests, which are from the same CHC domain (e.g., Gwm), and which may have the same narrow CHC classifications, are different enough to warrant clinical interpretation.

AHP technique a way to show preferences amongst alternativesijsrd.com
This article presents a review of the applications of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is a multiple criteria decision-making tool that has been used in almost all the applications related with decision-making. Decisions involve many intangibles that need to be traded off. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales. It is these scales that measure intangibles in relative terms. The comparisons are made using a scale of absolute judgements that represents how much more; one element dominates another with respect to a given attribute. The judgements may be inconsistent, and how to measure inconsistency and improve the judgements, when possible to obtain better consistency is a concern of the AHP. The derived priority scales are synthesised by multiplying them by the priority of their parent nodes and adding for all such nodes. An illustration is also included.
ABSTRACT : This paper critically examined a broad view of Structural Equation Model (SEM) with a view
of pointing out direction on how researchers can employ this model to future researches, with specific focus on
several traditional multivariate procedures like factor analysis, discriminant analysis, path analysis. This study
employed a descriptive survey and historical research design. Data was computed viaDescriptive Statistics,
Correlation Coefficient, Reliability. The study concluded that Novice researchers must take care of assumptions
and concepts of Structure Equation Modeling, while building a model to check the proposed hypothesis. SEM is
more or less an evolving technique in the research, which is expanding to new fields. Moreover, it is providing
new insights to researchers for conducting longitudinal investigations.

HEXACO Model
Introduction
Standardized tests are essential in providing a consistent form of evaluation of the nature of mentality of different individuals. The human psychology is linked to significant issues in the current times. The situation necessitates the utilization of various tests to gauge the state of affairs in the psychological sector. The tests are effective in assessment of different elements associated with the mental state. One of the most important tests is the HEXACO Model of Personality Structure. The test is integral in psychology as it is able to sufficiently assess different aspects of people including personality and attitudes
The HEXACO Model of Personality Structure was developed by Ashton and Lee. The model is a based on the concept of division of the personalities of human beings into six dimensions. The model evaluates openness to experience extraversion agreeableness conscientiousness emotionality and honesty-humility. The personality test can be administered to persons of different ages and health situations. The test is especially important for people in their middle age years

The article by de Vries (2013) focuses on the essence of short personality instruments. The short personality scales are mainly based on Big Five model despite the HEXACO model basis on a 6-dimension personality scale. The details on the reliability and validity provide better comprehension of factors associated with measurement scales. The core focus is on reliability of the test. The article also shows the aspects involved in the reliability biasness validity and variance. De Vries (2013) is able to display the different elements involved in measurement of reliability and evidence of validity. He shows how reliability is related to internal rater and temporal consistencies. The two latter consistencies are deemed to provide an unbiased systematic variance. It considers the test-retest reliability or stability and self-other agreements. The article displayed that the alpha reliabilities were low while test-retest validity and self-other agreement. There were significant levels of convergent validity with low levels of discriminant validity.

USE OF PLS COMPONENTS TO IMPROVE CLASSIFICATION ON BUSINESS DECISION MAKINGIJDKP
This paper presents a methodology that eliminates multicollinearity of the predictors variables in
supervised classification by transforming the predictor variables into orthogonal components obtained
from the application of Partial Least Squares (PLS) Logistic Regression. The PLS logistic regression was
developed by Bastien, Esposito-Vinzi, and Tenenhaus [1]. We apply the techniques of supervised
classification on data, based on the original variables and data based on the PLS components. The error
rates are calculated and the results compared. The implementation of the methodology of classification is
rests upon the development of computer programs written in the R language to make possible the
calculation of PLS components and error rates of classification. The impact of this research will be
disseminated, based on evidence that the methodology of Partial Least Squares Logistic Regression, is
fundamental when working in a supervised classification with data of many predictors variables.

We describe a procedure for differentiating among potential precursor responses for use in a
functional analysis. Conditional probability analysis of descriptive assessment data identified
three potential precursors. Results from the indirect assessment corresponded with those
obtained from the descriptive assessment. The top-ranked response identified as a precursor
according to the indirect assessment had the strongest relation according to the probability
analysis. When contingencies were arranged for the precursor in a functional analysis, the same
function was identified as for target behavior, supporting the utility of indirect and descriptive
methods to identify precursor behavior empirically.

_______________________________________________________________________________
Functional analysis (Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer,
Bauman, & Richman, 1982/1994) involves
manipulating antecedents and consequences
for the target behavior of interest. Because a
functional analysis requires the repeated occur-
rence of a target response, it may not be
appropriate for response topographies that pose
risk of harm to others (e.g., severe aggression) or
the client (e.g., self-injury). One modification
that has addressed this concern involves a
functional analysis of precursor behavior (i.e.,
arranging contingencies for responses that
reliably precede the target behavior) based on
previous research showing that response topog-
raphies that occur in close temporal proximity
are often members of the same response class,
and by providing differential reinforcement for
earlier responses in the response-class hierarchy,
later more severe responses occur less often
(Harding et al., 2001; Lalli, Mace, Wohn, &
Livezey, 1995; Richman, Wacker, Asmus,
Casey, & Andelman, 1999).
Smith and Churchill (2002) conducted a
functional analysis of precursor behavior and
found similar outcomes from a functional
analysis of the target behavior and a functional
analysis of the hypothesized precursor behavior.
A study by Najdowski, Wallace, Ellsworth,
MacAleese, and Cleveland (2008) extended this
work by demonstrating that an intervention
based on a functional analysis of precursor
behavior was effective in eliminating partici-
pants’ precursor behavior. The implication of
these findings is that outcomes from functional
analyses of precursor responses may be used to
infer the function of more severe topographies
that occur later in the response-class hierarchy.
A potential limitation associated with both of
these studies is that indirect assessments alone
were used to identify precursor responses. Such
assessments have sometimes been found to have
poor reliab.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
