To reflect a person's differences in changes over T repeated test occasions, Embretson (1991) developed the multidimensional Rasch model for learning and change (MRMLC) which defines an individual propensity on occasion t proficiency θ it as the sum of person's initial θi 1 and changes from ensuing test occasions of θi 2, …, θ iT, such that, η ijt = ∑ m = 1 t θ im − b j, (3).
A battery of tests ensued: blood tests, more than twenty vials drawn at a time; CT scans, an MRI.
Numerical results on a large set of real images show both the accuracy of the proposed adaptive model and the sharpness of the ensuing statistical test.
Starting next year, a player who tests positive twice will be identified and may be suspended 15 games, or fined $10,000, or both; suspensions and fines escalate with each ensuing positive test.
A pilot study is not a hypothesis-testing study, but a necessary initial step in exploring a novel intervention to inform its feasibility and identify modifications needed in the design of a larger ensuing hypothesis-testing study.
The child witnesses the death of its parents and destruction of its environment resulting from the ensuing atomic tests.
Those who identified and imagined obstacles they could actually overcome -- like not putting in enough effort or losing focus -- performed better on an ensuing creativity test than those in the control group who only imagined being creative, and those in the control group that only imagined the obstacles.
The emerging view here is that last Monday's nuclear test and the ensuing series of test missile launchings reflect North Korea's attempt to ensure its survival by creating an independent nuclear deterrent.
Figure 7 plots one random realization of these target trajectories used for the ensuing multi-target test cases.
In the ensuing months, further tests have revealed details about the disgraced king, including a potentially painful and long-term battle with adolescent onset scoliosis.
