Susan Patrick, a former Department of Education official who is president of the North American Council for Online Learning, estimated that 60,000 public school students were enrolled in some online science course.
Yet the use of online learning in high schools is growing nationwide; a 2008 survey by the Sloan Consortium, an organization that advocates for online learning, estimated that 1.3 million high school students took an online course during that academic year, and the number is likely to have grown since.
It is unknown if the rate of learning estimated in this study is unique to this outbreak or if it might be more representative.
At 5 years old, she had a normal neurologic examination but showed a global developmental delay predominating in language and learning (estimated to a one-year delay).
Q-learning estimates an optimal regime using backward induction.
During exploration, it first uses εB of its total budget B to learn estimates of the workers' quality characteristics.
For all experiments, we wanted to examine both what subjects learned (estimates of r and μp), as well as how these parameters progressed across time.
Since we do not know a priori which values for the parameters λ, α, and β will lead to the greatest likelihood, we attempt to learn estimates for these parameters as well.
The learning state estimates learning parameters as a function of the drift function.
