Binary OR Binomial logistic regression Dr Athar Khan
Binary logistic regression can be used to model the relationship between predictor variables and a binary dependent variable. The document discusses using logistic regression to predict the likelihood of clients terminating counseling early based on gender, income level, avoidance of disclosure, and symptom severity. The full model was statistically significant and correctly classified 84.4% of cases. Avoidance of disclosure and symptom severity significantly predicted early termination, while gender and income level were not significant predictors.
Prescriptive process models attempt to organize the software development life cycle by defining activities, their order, and relationships. Early models like code-and-fix lacked predictability and manageability. Newer models strive for structure and order to achieve coordination, while allowing for changes as feedback is received. However, relying solely on prescriptive models may be inappropriate in a world that demands flexibility and change.
This is a short introduction course to Stata statistical software version 9. The course still applies to later versions of Stata, too. The course duration was 9 hours. It has been given at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Cairo University.

Application Development and Emerging Technologies.pptxKENNEDYDONATO1
This document defines software and discusses its classes, basic principles, evolution, and laws. It states that software consists of instructions that tell hardware how to perform tasks. There are three main classes: system software runs hardware/systems, application software allows users to perform tasks, and programming software aids development. Software evolves through maintenance/updates as requirements and technology change to continuously adapt. Eight laws govern software evolution, including that software must continue adapting to real-world changes or lose usefulness over time.
This document discusses various approaches to software reuse, including design patterns, application frameworks, component-based development, and generative programming. Design patterns describe abstract solutions to common problems in a reusable form. Application frameworks provide reusable abstract and concrete classes that can be adapted and extended to create application systems. Conceptual reuse through design patterns and generative programming allows reuse of ideas rather than just code.

The example of designing a weather station system is used to illustrate these design concepts and activities.
The document discusses different strategies for software testing. It describes unit testing starting at the component level and progressing outward to integration, validation, and system testing. Validation testing ensures requirements are met through criteria like functional testing and alpha/beta testing with end users. Verification tests that the product is built correctly while validation ensures the correct product is built.
The document summarizes Chapter 1 of the textbook, which introduces systems analysis and design. It outlines the chapter topics and learning objectives. These include describing the system development lifecycle (SDLC) and how it is applied iteratively. As an example, it then describes how the SDLC would be used in iterations to develop the Ridgeline Mountain Outfitters Tradeshow System, a small app to collect supplier and product information at trade shows.
Scenarios allow users to save different sets of input values in a worksheet model to forecast outcomes under different conditions. Scenarios can be created by selecting cells to change, assigning names and values to scenarios, and saving them. Saved scenarios can then be quickly displayed by selecting the scenario name to show alternative results. A scenario summary report can also be generated to analyze results.
This document discusses software reuse and application frameworks. It covers the benefits of software reuse like accelerated development and increased dependability. Application frameworks provide a reusable architecture for related applications and are implemented by adding components and instantiating abstract classes. Web application frameworks in particular use the model-view-controller pattern to support dynamic websites as a front-end for web applications.

Agent based web service communicating different is’s and platformsIAEME Publication
This document presents an agent-based approach to enabling communication between two independent information systems (IS) running on different platforms and operating systems. It proposes using agent-based web services to first discover the architecture of each OS, and then enable communication. Specifically, it analyzes how to determine if a Windows 7 system is 32-bit or 64-bit, and introduces three web service models - one for a legacy 32-bit IS without security, one for a new 64-bit IS with security features, and one that detects the platform and routes requests. The overall goal is integrating old and new systems with minimal performance impact and cost.

UI5con 2024 - Bring Your Own Design SystemPeter Muessig
How do you combine the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 programming model with a design system that makes its controls available as Web Components? Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

1. TRAINING OF
Cspro
On 21st
to 22 , March 2015
Trainers: BIZIMANA
Appolinaire
IMANISHIMWE
Valentine
NTITANGURANWA
Jacson
2. Every participant should be able to explain why
Cspro as Software
To be aware of Cspro and its application
To perform data entry , exporting ,and other
practical skills related to this software
3.
4. PART 1:Introduction
What is CSPro?
The Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) is a
software package for entry, editing, tabulation, and
dissemination of census and survey data.
CSPro combines the features of the:
Integrated Microcomputer Processing System (IMPS)
and the Integrated System for SurveyAnalysis (ISSA)
in aWindows environment.
5. 6
CSPro lets you create,modify,and run data entry,batch
editing,and tabulationapplicationsfrom a single,
integrated development environment.It processes data
on a case basis (one or more questionnaires),where a
case can consistof one or many data records.
The data are stored in (ASCII) text files described by
data dictionaries.
CSProprovides tools to view data and other text files,to
view tables and thematic maps created by CSPro
CSProwas developed jointly by the U.S.Census Bureau,
Macro International,and Serpro,SA,with major funding
from the U.S.Agency for International Development.
6.
7. Census Bureau Involvement
• U.S.Census Bureau has a long history of using technology to
process censuses,going back to Hollerith and the 1890
census
• International Programs Center has been helping countries
process census data for decades
• Off-the-shelf software in the past was not affordable, not easy
to use,or otherwise was not practical for some countries
where IPC worked
8. Integrated Microcomputer Processing
System (IMPS)
• Census Bureau developed and supported, with funding
principally from USAID
• DOS-based,text-based,used a COBOL compiler to enhance
functionality
• Several modules:
–
–
–
–
–
Entry
Editing
Tabulation
Variance Calculation
Operational Control
9
• CSPro does not have the latter two modules (yet)
9. 10
Combination of IMPS and ISSA
• USAID was funding the development of two statistical
processing software packages:
– IMPS
– ISSA:Integrated System for SurveyAnalysis
• Developed by SERPRO and Macro International
• Both software packages were in need of an update to enter
theWindows/GUI world
• CSPro combines the best features of both software packages:
– The ease-of-use of IMPS
– The advanced functionality and logic language of ISSA
– Called:Census and Survey Processing System
10. CSPro in One Slide
CSPro is a free software package used by hundreds of
organizations and tens of thousands of individuals for
entering,editing, tabulating, and disseminating census and
survey data.CSPro is designed to be as user-friendly and easy
to use as possible,yet powerful enough to handle the most
complex applications. It can be used by a wide range of
people,from non-technical staff assistants to senior
demographers and programmers.The funding for CSPro
comes from USAID.
1
11. Release History
CSPro 2.0 (the first version) released on May 5,2000
CSPro 3.x (2005) included a much more powerful tabulation
system
CSPro 4.0 (2008) added support for PDA devices
CSPro 4.1 (2011) added additional tools for CAPI operations
on portable computers such as tablets
•Most recent version (CSPro 6.0.1) released on september25,
2014
12. Worldwide Use
Used in over 160 countries by:
National Statistical Offices
NGOs
Universities
Hospitals
Militaries
Businesses
Has processed the census data for countries as varied as
Djibouti (less than one million people) to Bangladesh (over
150 million people)
13. CSPro Processes…
Censuses (population and housing; agriculture; and
economic)
Demographic and labor force surveys
Household income and expenditure surveys
Major international projects such as:
Demographicand Health Surveys (DHS),Macro International
Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS),World Bank
Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS),UNICEF
14. Future?
IMPS to CSPro marked the transition from DOS toWindows
With low-cost computers proliferating (tablets,
smartphones),will there be another paradigm shift in the
future?
15.
16. Cost
CSPro is free and will be forever
Some software packages charge both designer and
implementer fees
Some software packages charge by number of data collection
points
7
17. Support
Census Bureau provides free support for CSPro via email:
cspro@lists.census.gov
There are CSPro consultants available for hire,though not
many
Many applications have been created,though few available on
the Internet
Very few Internet websites devoted to CSPro
18
18. Platform
Works on any modern machine with MicrosoftWindows
Data entry can be done,one question at a time,onWindows
Mobile PDAs (versions 5 and 6,notWindows Phone 7)
The growth and activity in low cost tablets and smartphones
is not centered aroundWindows
No way to turn applications into Internet applications
19. Robustness
Has been tested and used for over ten years
Can handle census-sized applications
Can export data to major statistical software formats,and
often is used in combination with other programs
Most major bugs have been fixed,though some known bugs
(generally minor) remain
0
20. Data File
Flat file,text-based format
Advantages:
Human readable
Possibleto create and modify without a data entry
application
2
21. 2
Data File (continued)
Disadvantages:
Large file sizes,though smaller when compressed
Extra files (e.g.,an index) must be stored as separate files
Modifying an entry can force the whole file to be rewritten
Fixed width fields mean that changing a dictionary means
reformatting existing files
Inability to store variable-length text
Processing is slower
Not compliant with common database programs and languages,
e.g.,SQL
Only one user can write to a file at any given time
22. Key-from-imagenot supported natively
3
Keyed Data Entry
CSProwas specificallydesigned for keyed data entry
Can track the rates of keyers
A verification operation can be established
Has two modes that dictate how much control a keyer
has over an operation:operator- and system- controlled
modes
Operationalcontrol of files can be challenging to new
users,particularlyif managingan operation with many
keyers
Not ideal for keying letters unless they are Latin letters
23. CAPI Data Entry
SupportsCAPI controls (e.g.,radio buttons) but as popup
windows,not built into the form
No UNICODE support,though kludges mean CSPro can
supportdata entry in most languages
Subject-oriented,non-linear,data entry is difficult to
program
Designingthe dictionary,forms,and data entry is done in
three places,rather than all integrated
24
24. Logic Language
Robust,and designed specifically for data entry and processing
Easy tasks are simple to program and require few programming
skills
Some tasks could be programmed more cleanly in an object-
oriented framework
Simple debugging (tracing) is possible,but dynamic modification
of the code is not,requiring a rebuild of the application for any
small change
The syntax of features added later (e.g.,CAPI functions) is
sometimes awkward
Can run slowly as it is an interpreted language
25
Inability to include standard modules across many applications
25. Editing and Tabulation
Editing module is specifically designed for census editing, an
uncommon task
Tabulation is simple,drag and drop, and can create complex
tables with some programming
Area processing
Inability to perform complex analysis via the tabulation
module
Editing,and especially tabulation, are slow when run on large
data sets
26
26. Missing Modules
Census variance
Operational control system for data entry,and for application
design
Cleaner interface with industry standard GIS products, rather
than the built-in MapViewer
27. Dictionary(Defining the Structure of your Data)
Identification items uniquely identify the
questionnaire
Items(describes a response to a question)
Value Sets which are used to ranges of valid
values during data entry and even categories of
data
28.
29. PART 2:Dealing with CSPro 4.1
1. Create a Data Entry Application
Step 1:Examine theTutorial Questionnaire
The tutorial exercises are based on a sample questionnaire.
InTasks 1 through 6 we will create a data entry application,
key some data,then tabulate the data.
InTasks 7 and 8 we go back and add a consistencycheck.
28
31. Note the following about the sample questionnaire:
Each questionnaire corresponds to a household.
Each questionnaire (household) has a unique
four-digit
number at the top.
We collect age,sex,and marital status for up to ten
people in
the household.
We collect type of housing and roof for the
household.
Continue to the next step.30
32. 31
Step 2:Start CSPro
First,create a new folder for all files you will use in this
tutorial.
Open Windows Explorer
Create a folder named "c:CSProTutorial".
Now you are ready to start CSPro:
Double-click on your desktop’s CSPro 4.1 icon.
or
Highlight the Programs line
Highlight CSPro 4.1 next to Programs
Highlight and click CSPro 4.1 next to CSPro 4.1
The following CSPro main screen will appear.
34. 33
Step 3:UseWizard for NewApplication
We will create a data entry application.This contains:
Data dictionary: The data dictionary describes the
organization of the data file.It holds information about all the
questions and responses on the questionnaire.
Forms:The forms will appear on the screen when you run
the data entry application.They contain data entry fields,
text,and lines.
Logic (optional):You can use the CSPro language to control
the flow of your program, to write logic to check for errors
during data entry,to access lookup files,and many other
things.We will not use logic untilTask 6.
35. We will use theWizard to create the files that the data entry
application requires.
Click on the radio button that says Create a new
application.You should see the following dialog box.
34
Select Data EntryApplication and Press OK.
36. In the file open dialog box:
Enter "MyEntry" as the file name for the application.
Make sure you are located in the folder you created for these
exercises (‘c:CSProTutorial’).
Press Create.The following screen is displayed
35
37. The next screen will ask you select the Input Dictionary.
Change the name to "c:CSProTutorialMyDict.dcf".
Press OK.
You have created a new data entry application
This completes thisTask.Continue to the nextTask (Task 2).
38. 37
2. Create the Data Dictionary
Step 1:The ID Item
We will make our dictionary first,then our forms.
CSPro automatically generates a skeleton data dictionary.We will
change it and add our own information.
Every data dictionary requires at least one Id item—you will
often have more than one.An ID (identification) item is a
unique number (or series of numbers) that allows
CSPro to distinguish between individual questionnaires.
CSPro requires at least one ID item.
39. Click on (Id Items), then on the‘+’next to it to open
the tree on the left side of the screen.You will see that
CSPro has created one id item.
On the right side of the screen you will see in the Len column
that this item has the length of one character.We will
make this four (4) characters.
Right-click on‘MyDict identification",below (Id Items) on
the tree,then select Modify Item.
Press the Enter key three times until the length is highlighted
in blue.
Type "4",then Enter,then click on the white space below
this line to finish making this change.
When you have completed this step the screen should look
something like:38
41. Step 2:The Records
A record usually corresponds to a section of a questionnaire,
and consistsof a group of related questions.
By default,CSPro creates one record.Our tutorial
application(Sample questionnaire) will have two records,
a‘Person Record’and a‘HousingRecord’.We will change
the one record that CSPro generated to‘Person Record’,
then add the‘HousingRecord’.
First,we will change the one record that CSPro generated to
‘Person Record’:
40
42. Right-click on‘MyDict record’on the tree on the left,then
select Modify Record.
Type "Person record" as the Record Label,then press Enter.
Type "PERSON_RECORD" as the Record Name,then press
Enter.
Press Enter to leave theType value as it is.
Press‘N’to change Required fromYes to No,then
press Enter. Our application can have households with
no people,so Person records are not required for us.
Our application can have up to 10 people in a household, so
type "10",then Enter,to change Max and complete the
changes to this record.
41
43. 42
Next we will add the‘Housing Record’:
Right-click on Person Record on the tree on the left,then
select Add Record.
Type "Housing Record" as the Record Label,the press Enter.
Press Enter to accept‘HOUSING_RECORD’ as the Record
Name.
Press Enter to leave the Type value as it is.
Press Enter to leave RequiredYes.
Press Enter to leave Max 1 and start a new record.
Press Esc on the blank record to finish making these changes.
When you have completed this step the screen should look
something like:
45. 44
Step 3:Create the Items
First,we will create the items‘Age’,‘Sex’,and‘Marital
Status’in the Person record.
Right-clickon‘Person Record’on the tree,then select
Add Item.
Enter "Age" as the Item Label,then press Enter.
Press Enter to acceptAGE as the Item Name.
Press Enter to accept the Start position.
Type "2" then Enter to indicatethatAge takes up two
characters.This is because in our applicationwe have
chosen to enter ages only up to 99.
46. Press Enter six times to accept the rest of the default
attributes forAge.
Enter the attributes for the Sex item.After you type in
the label and name,you can keep pressing Enter to
accept all the other default attributes.
Enter the attributes for the Marital status item.After you
type in the label and name,you can keep pressing Enter
to accept all the other default attributes.
Press Esc to finish creating the items.
45
47. somethinglike:
46
Next,we will create the‘Type household’and‘Type roof’
items in the Housingrecord.
Right-clickon‘HousingRecord’,then select Add Item.
Enter the attributes for the‘Type Household’item.After
you type in the label and name,you can keep pressing
Enter to accept all the other default attributes.
Enter the attributes for the‘Type Roof’item.After you
type in the label and name,you can keep pressing Enter
to accept all the other default attributes.
Press Esc to finish creating the items.
When you have completed this step the screen should look
49. Step 4:CreateValues for the Items
Value sets define what data values we expect for a data
item.Value sets are used to define ranges of valid values
duringdata entry and to define categories for cross
tabulation.
First,we will create a value set for‘Age’.We will use ten
year age groups.
Click on the ‘+’next to‘Person record’to make
sure its items are showingon the tree.
Right-clickon‘Age’,then select AddValue Set.
48
50. Continuein this fashion until you have reached 90-99.49
Press EnterTwice to accept the default Value Set Label
andValue Set Name.
The cursor will drop to the line below into the Value
Labelcolumn.
Type "0 to 9" for the Value Label,then Enter.
Type "0" as the From value,then Enter.
Type "9" as the To value,then Enter twice,
skippingover the Special column.
Type "10 to 19" for the next Value Label,then Enter.
Type "10" as the From value,then Enter.
Type "19" as the To value,then Enter twice,
skippingover the Special column.
51. Next,we will create a value set for‘Sex’.
Right-click on‘Sex’,then select AddValue Set.
Press Enter twice to accept the default Value Set Label
andValue Set Name.
The cursor will drop to the line below into the Value Label
column.
Type "Male" as the first Value Label.
Type "1" as the From value.
Press Enter twice to skip over the To and Special
columns
50
52. Type "Female" as the second Value Label.
Type‘"2" as the From value.
Press Enter twice to skip over the To and Special
columns
Press Esc to finish creating the value set.
To finish up:
Add a value set for‘Marital Status’.Use‘1’for Married and
‘2’for Not married.
Add values for the‘Housing Record’ items from the housing
information in the questionnaire.
51
53. VERY IMPORTANT: Now save the work you have done so far.
Select File/Save from the main menu,or click on the
toolbar.
When you completed this step,the screen might look something
like:
52
This completes theTask 2.Continue to the nextTask (Task 3).
54. 53
3. Create the Data Entry Forms
Step 1:Place ID and Housing Items on Form
We will now switch from the data dictionaryto the forms.
IMPORTANTNOTE:
Generally it is a good idea to make the data entry forms
look just like the questionnaireitself.We can easily do
this in CSPro.However,in order to show you more
features and save time,we will not do so (use the help for
your application on this).
We will place the dictionaryitems on the data entry form.
55. Click on the toolbar.A blank gray form will appear on
the right hand side of the screen.
Make sure the items on the tree are expanded so you can see
them all.If any item has a ‘+’sign next to it,click on the
‘+’sign.
Drag and drop‘MyDict identification" from the tree to the
top of the form. (Click on‘MyDict identification’and hold
the mouse button down while you move the mouse to the
top of the form,then release the mouse button.)

logic in the procedure for‘MARITAL_STATUS’because
we want it to execute immediately after the operator
keys this field.
Type in logic exactly as you see below.
93
95. 94
Step 2:Compile the Logic
You have typed logic in the CSPro language. Like
all procedural languages,the system must check

Successfulin the Compiler Output under the logic.
If you see a dialog box that says Compile Failed,you
havetyped something incorrectly.A red circle will
appear in the margin indicatingthe approximatelocation
of the error.The Compiler Output tab at the
bottom of the screen will show you an error message
to help you determine the error.Check very carefully to
make sure you typed in exactly what was shown in the
previousstep.
