Can We Differentiate a Latent Growth Curve Model from Competitors? Evidence Based on Individual Case Residuals
In latent growth curve modeling (LGCM), overall fit indices have garnered increased disputation for model selection, and model fit evaluation based on the mean structure has becoming popularity. The present study developed a versatile fit index, named Weighted Root Mean Squared Errors (WRMSE), based on individual case residuals (ICRs) with the aim of facilitating model selection. Through comparing to various fit indices, this study demonstrated t…

Benefit–Cost Analysis of Low-Cost Flood Inundation Sensors
The demand for inexpensive and reliable warning systems has increased in recent years as a result of the increase in the number and severity of flood disasters. A new generation of low-cost sensors for flood monitoring and warning is being developed by the federal government and private sectors, in some cases collaboratively. We perform a benefit-cost analysis of this new product category, (i.e., low-cost flood inundation sensors), which can read…

In-Service Teacher Access to and Use of Non-Academic Data for Decision Making
Non-academic factors such as school climate, grit, and growth mindset are receiving much attention in recent education policy and practice. Within this context, this study (N = 425) describes the distribution of U.S. in-service teachers’ access to and use of 10 categories of non-academic data. Findings indicate that in-service teachers vary widely in their access to, and use of, these types of data. This study also indicates unambiguously that te…
Diagnostic Contribution of the DSM-5 Criteria for Internet Gaming Disorder
Background: Internet gaming disorder (IGD) can have long-term severe consequences in affected individuals, especially adolescents and young people. Empirical studies of IGD using the DSM-5 criteria are still lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of specific criteria to the diagnosis of IGD based on the DSM-5 in the context of Chinese culture. Methods: The Chinese version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF)…
The Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery
Background: Young patients with major depressive disorder are also associated with cognitive deficits. The development of an accurate and effective battery to measure cognitive impairment in young patients with major depressive disorder (Y-MDD) is necessary for both research and clinical practice. This study was designed to test the psychometric properties of the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) C…
Research on the Construction of Courses of Automotive Electronics and Electrical Appliances Based on the Joint Training Mode of Vocational Schools and Applied Undergraduate Courses
With the development of science and technology, automobile technology is increasingly improving in the direction of safety, environmental protection, and energy conservation. Automobile has been transformed from traditional mechanical products into typical mechatronics products. The role of automotive electronic and electrical technology in the production and use of automobiles has become more apparent. Automotive electronics and electrical cours…
The role of a deductible/credit system for post-disaster public assistance in meeting alternative policy goals
We analyze a major potential reform of the current FEMA Public Assistance Program that would establish a deductible against the coverage of losses and would offer credits for expenditure on risk reduction by states as an incentive to offset the deductible. While the current FEMA Program is targeted primarily towards repairing damaged property, there is a potential to formulate a Deductible/Credit System (DCS), so as to achieve a reduction in othe…
Evaluating the role of resilience in reducing economic losses from disasters
Natural resources and infectious diseases
Recent discussions on the natural resource curse theory have expanded from looking at economic and sociopolitical developments to focusing on the impact of natural resources on the spread of, and deaths from, infectious diseases. However, consensus on a link between natural resources and infectious diseases rarely exists, and empirical results are mixed at best. This paper attempts to re-explore such a link by focusing on malaria, a major infecti…
Multidimentional Rasch Testlet Model
摘要: 本文将多维随机系数多项Logistic模型(MRCMLM)拓展应用到多维题组领域, 得到适用于多维目标能力和多维题组效应的多维题组反应模型(MTRM), 该模型具有高度灵活性和适用性。本文通过两个模拟研究和一个应用研究探究MTRM参数估计精度和模型适用性, 以及与two-tier模型的差异, 结果发现:(1)能力维度间相关和项目评分等级是影响模型参数估计的重要因素; (2) MTRM对项目参数估计准确性和稳定性高于two-tier模型, 对题组效应大小估计更为准确。(3) MTRM在考虑项目内多维题组情况下模型拟合度更高, 为测验分析提供了更广泛的模型结构选择, 具有显著的应用价值

Intergovernmental climate change mitigation policies
This paper develops a framework for analysing intergovernmental relationships around greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies along a cooperation-conflict spectrum that affects the probability of their enactment. Cooperative policies, such as federal fiscal transfers to sub-national governments, facilitate enactment. Coordination policies, including enabling and funding mechanisms, promote interdependence between jurisdictions. Competitive polici…
Regional Classification to Enhance Efficiency and Equity in Energy Policy
Energy conservation is a critical policy for China to achieve its economic growth objective within its resource and environmental constraints. I develop a nonlinear programming model to simulate a promising policy instrument—an interregional energy-conservation-quota trading system. A multivariate statistical approach is applied to identify an appropriate regional classification to aggregate provinces of China into trading regions. As with most e…
