The document discusses the evolving role of the vice president in national security from a "constitutional appendage" to a more influential position, examining theories for this change. It analyzes seven influential vice presidents across three theories: 1) increased demands on modern presidents create VP roles, 2) institutionalization of the VP position provides resources for influence, and 3) outsider presidents rely on VPs' expertise and experience. Key factors enabling VP influence included the president selecting the running mate, access to the president, staff/resources, and allies in government. When outsider presidents faced unfamiliar national security issues, experienced VPs were well positioned to advise and influence policy decisions.
The document describes using Generalised Semi-linear Canonical Correlation Analysis (GSLCCA) to analyze EEG data from a drug experiment and identify the effect of different doses of clonidine on brain activity over time. GSLCCA fits a pharmacokinetic model to the EEG power spectra data and extracts "signatures" representing the contribution of different brain frequencies to the drug's time-dependent response. The analysis revealed dose-dependent changes in the signatures compared to vehicle control, indicating clonidine had an active effect on brain activity as expected.

This document summarizes the STaR Chart data for Sam Houston High School over four years. It finds that the school has declined in all key areas since 2008-2009. Key areas I, II, and IV related to teaching, educator development, and infrastructure have consistently been rated "Developing Tech". Key area III related to leadership was rated "Advanced Tech" in the last year. To improve, the school plans to use grant money for laptops, hire a technology specialist, provide teacher training, and ensure students master technology skills. The document evaluates each key area and how the school can enhance technology integration.
From L to N: Nonlinear Predictors in Generalized Modelshtstatistics
1) Generalized nonlinear models (GNM) extend generalized linear models (GLM) by allowing the predictor to be a nonlinear function of the parameters. This allows for more parsimonious and interpretable models.
2) Estimating GNMs can be challenging due to difficulties generating starting values and the potential for multiple optima in the likelihood. The gnm package in R uses random starting values and a one-parameter-at-a-time Newton method.
3) The stereotype model is a special case of the multinomial logistic model that is suitable for ordered categorical data where only the scale of the relationship with covariates varies between categories. It can be fit as a GNM using a "Po
