... This point is not unique to getting predicted probabilities after logistic regression. Any transformation of the linear predictor that squeezes some parts more than others will show this behavior. To be exact, whether the mean is computed before or after the transformation will matter for any nonlin ...

This was a first indication that the prediction of “dangerousness” was possibly not as advanced as the MacArthur Network might have us believe. The second maj ...

... 1. Introduction Descriptive statistics provide important information about variables to be analyzed. Mean, median, and mode measure central tendency of a variable. Measures of dispersion include variance, standard deviation, range, and interquantile range (IQR). Researchers may draw a histogram, ste ...

... It usually happens that about 2/3 of random samples (a.k.a. students) are within one standard deviation of the mean. So a convenient curving scheme works by setting mean to a certain grade and every standard deviation away as another grade. EG: A typical Columbia curving scheme: D’s ...

... Example: Consider tossing a fair coin. Define the event H as the occurrence of a head. What is the probability of the event H, P(H)? 1. In a single toss of the coin, there are two possible outcomes 2. Since the coin is fair, each outcome (side) should have an equally likely chance of occurring 3. ...
