The Kansas City preventive patrol experiment was a landmark experiment carried out between 1972 and 1973 by the Kansas City Police Department of Kansas City, Missouri and the Police Foundation, an independent nonprofit research organization [1] today known as the National Policing Institute. [2]
Directional statistics (also circular statistics or spherical statistics) is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in Euclidean space, R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n. More generally, directional statistics deals with observations on compact Riemannian manifolds including the ...
Directional statistics is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n. The means and variances of directional quantities are all finite, so that the central limit theorem may be applied to the particular case of directional statistics. [2]
The dual-route hypothesis to reading can help explain patterns of data connected to certain types of disordered reading, both developmental and acquired. [9] Routes impaired in surface and phonological dyslexia. Children with reading disorders rely primarily on the sub-lexical route while reading. [10]
ERP was particularly beneficial in helping the researchers to investigate the bi-directional hypothesis of action-sentence comprehension, which proposes that language processing facilitates movement and movement also facilitates language comprehension. In the study participants listened to sentences describing an action that involved an open ...
In population genetics, directional selection is a type of natural selection in which one extreme phenotype is favored over both the other extreme and moderate phenotypes. This genetic selection causes the allele frequency to shift toward the chosen extreme over time as allele ratios change from generation to generation.
The bi-directional hypothesis of language and action proposes that the sensorimotor and language comprehension areas of the brain exert reciprocal influence over one another. [1] This hypothesis argues that areas of the brain involved in movement and sensation, as well as movement itself, influence cognitive processes such as language ...
In a scientific study, post hoc analysis (from Latin post hoc, "after this") consists of statistical analyses that were specified after the data were seen. [1] [2] They are usually used to uncover specific differences between three or more group means when an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test is significant. [3]
