Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics - Christopher A. Haw - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics - Christopher A. Haw - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Discussions of monotheism often consider its bigotry toward other gods as a source of conflict, or emphasize its universality as a source of peaceful tolerance. Both approaches, however, ignore the combined danger and liberation in monotheism''s ''intolerance.'' In this volume, Christopher Haw reframes this important argument. He demonstrates the value of rejecting paradigms of inclusivity in favor of an agonistic pluralism and intolerance of absolutism. Haw proposes a model that retains liberal, pluralistic principles while acknowledging their limitations, and he relates them to theologies latent in political ideas. His volume offers a nuanced, evolutionary, and historical understanding of the biblical tradition''s emergence and its political consequences with respect to violence. It suggests how we can mediate impasses between liberal and conservative views in culture wars; between liberal inclusivity and conservative decisionism; and, on the religious front, between apologetics for exclusive monotheism and critiques of its intolerance.

Randomization Tests - Eugene Edgington - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Randomization Tests - Eugene Edgington - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The number of innovative applications of randomization tests in various fields and recent developments in experimental design, significance testing, computing facilities, and randomization test algorithms have necessitated a new edition of Randomization Tests . Updated, reorganized, and revised, the text emphasizes the irrelevance and implausibility of the random sampling assumption for the typical experiment in three completely rewritten chapters. It also discusses factorial designs and interactions and combines repeated-measures and randomized block designs in one chapter. The authors focus more attention on the practicality of N-of-1 randomization tests and the availability of user-friendly software to perform them. In addition, they provide an overview of free and commercial computer programs for all of the tests presented in the book. Building on the previous editions that have served as standard textbooks for more than twenty-five years, Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition includes downloadable resources of up-to-date randomization test programs that facilitate application of the tests to experimental data. This CD-ROM enables students to work out problems that have been added to the chapters and helps professors teach the basics of randomization tests and devise tasks for assignments and examinations.

Statistical Tests Of Nonparametric Hypotheses: Asymptotic Theory - Odile Pons - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Statistical Tests Of Nonparametric Hypotheses: Asymptotic Theory - Odile Pons - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An overview of the asymptotic theory of optimal nonparametric tests is presented in this book. It covers a wide range of topics: Neyman-Pearson and LeCam's theories of optimal tests, the theories of empirical processes and kernel estimators with extensions of their applications to the asymptotic behavior of tests for distribution functions, densities and curves of the nonparametric models defining the distributions of point processes and diffusions. With many new test statistics developed for smooth curves, the reliance on kernel estimators with bias corrections and the weak convergence of the estimators are useful to prove the asymptotic properties of the tests, extending the coverage to semiparametric models. They include tests built from continuously observed processes and observations with cumulative intervals.

Evaluating Medical Tests - Helena Chmura Kraemer - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Evaluating Medical Tests - Helena Chmura Kraemer - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

A growing body of medical research suggests that many medical tests used for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring response to treatment are unnecessary or inappropriate, yield inaccurate or misleading results, and add to the incidence of iatrogenic disease. Many such tests go into common clinical use without convincing documentation of their value because current methods for evaluating medical tests produce inconsistent results. Evaluating Medical Tests presents a systematic, objective methodology by which to determine the effectiveness of medical tests. Kraemer clearly and concisely shows how to define statistical terms and approaches consistently from study to study, how to stipulate statistical assumptions underlying various approaches, how to check for empirical validity, and how to judge the robustness of statistical outcomes, resulting in models that integrate many different approaches and extend the strengths of each. Statisticians, evaluators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advanced students concerned with the evaluation of medical tests used to make clinical decisions for patient care and for research will find this essential, thought-provoking reading. "This volume is a pleasure to read. It succinctly combines carefully reasoned conceptualization with the mathematical methods for addressing test evaluation problems. With clinically relevant, illustrative examples, it draws on the author′s extensive experience and research in biomedical statistics. It should be required reading for medical students and practitioners. It is invaluable to researchers and statisticians, and it provides a logical, scientific basis for efforts at medical cost containment. It is a classic! --from the Foreword by A. John Rush, M.D. "This fascinating book integrates a wide range of statistical and methodological concepts, reflects a thorough introduction to the issues confronted by evaluators of [medical] tests, and challenges motivated readers to adopt these procedures in their own research. This is an exciting book, with obvious strong policy implications concerning the way that [medical] tests are evaluated and the need for standards in this regard. . . . Evaluating Medical Tests should be of interest to all professionals who depend on tests as an adjunct in the decision-making process." --Paul R. Yarnold Northwestern University Medical School "Dr. Kraemer has undertaken a most massive and laudable task in writing Evaluating Medical Tests. . . . Dr. Kraemer′s book stands as a flagship for those concerned to understand the reasons behind our escalating health care costs and the implications this holds for every American. . . . This leads us to one of the innovative features of Dr. Kraemer′s book: ′This is not merely a statistical issue, or merely a medical issue, it is a national policy issue of the greatest importance.′. . . She does not assume that her readers are either statisticians or physicians. As such, she skillfully guides one through the terrain of medical and statistical jargon and points our where the assumptions of the statistics are either not stipulated or incongruent with the medical test and data being evaluated, thus rendering results and interpretations suspect. Another plus of Dr. Kraemer′s writing is her willingness to use ′. . . the first person singular to differentiate . . . comments from presentations of what I would consider provable or documentable facts. . . ′ In so doing, she raised issues and calls medical professionals, policymakers, and patients into dialogue to consider the impact of the use of these various techniques in diagnosis. . . . Evaluating Medical Tests is of specific relevance to rehabilitation counselors who proceed with their clients through the maze of diagnostic and prognostic tests. . . . It is especially important for rehabilitation counselors who act as expert witnesses to have a working knowledge of this material to enhance their discussions with health care personnel." --Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests: Toward Evidence-Based Interpretation Practices addresses issues and concerns regarding appropriate ethical and scientific underpinnings for the appropriate interpretation of intelligence tests. Ethical test interpretation requires test users to consider the empirical evidence for individual and all test score comparisons and to make appropriate clinical decisions accordingly. This requires test users to have competencies in advanced psychometric principles. The chapters in this edited volume present a variety of topics, including the intersection of ethical principles, test standards, and psychometric properties that guide evidence-based interpretation; surveys of empirical evidence in the literature for qualifying major intelligence test interpretations, and psychological measurement topics that impact psychometric understanding of what current intelligence tests can and cannot do. This critical discussion has implications for basic undergraduate and graduate instruction, as well as supervision in clinical and research applications.

Anchors—Tests Procedures and Vibratory Analysis - Jean Jacques Rincent - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Anchors—Tests Procedures and Vibratory Analysis - Jean Jacques Rincent - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book follows: Ground Anchors: Tension Force Vibratory Analysis JJ Rincent Springer Sept 2024. This new book is a summary of experience gained from the analysis of over 24 000 test curves obtained from 3000 ground anchors analysis. It provides practical feedback on the complexity of non-destructive testing. The test equipment, the rules to obtain interpretable acquisition results. The examples come from trials carried out in Brazil over the last 5 years and finally, the test methodology adopted for this experiment. These tests are generally carried out on ground anchors using strands as reinforcement or rebars several decades old. Information on their length and initial tension force is often non-existent after 40 years. That''s why these vibration analysis tests provide the answers and information needed for stability and maintenance diagnostics. The examples chosen concern ground anchors equipped with bars, strands and also for nails, passive ground anchors and micro piles. Tests on prestressed dowels are described, and a test on a reinforcing bar linked to the construction of an early 16th century castle will be carried out. As a reminder that these tests results lead to define the total length of the tie bar, the free length, the diameter of the tie bar, i.e. the reinforcement with its cement grout, and finally the tension force at the time of testing. These data are essential for assessing the stability of retaining walls stabilised by tie rods. It should be stated that static tests, which are difficult to carry out at height, provide no information on lengths and run the risk of breaking old tie rods. All the tests carried out are used to construct the test method that can be adopted, taking into account the feedback acquired from thousands of static tests. For retaining structures and tie rods in particular, access to the head of the tie rods must be preserved in order to: - carry out inspection tests - re-tension the tie rods, if necessary - while protecting them from corrosion. Meeting these conditions means implementing sustainable maintenance of the structures. This test method is a diagnostic tool for ground anchors used by managers of retaining structures to design maintenance projects. The final aim is to increase the durability of the retaining structures. The tests proposed and explained using numerous examples and finally to propose a methodology for carrying out vibration analysis tests on ground anchors, as well as a framework for their interpretation.
