Visualizing Fit and Lack of Fit in Complex Regression Models with Predictor Effect Plots and Partial Residuals
Predictor effect displays, introduced in this article, visualize the response surface of complex regression models by averaging and conditioning, producing a sequence of 2D line graphs, one graph or set of graphs for each predictor in the regression problem. Partial residual plots visualize lack of fit, traditionally in relatively simple additive regression models. We combine partial residuals with effect displays to visualize both fit and lack o…
Argumentation and Decision Making in Professional Practice
How is argumentation used in professional practice? As schools aim to ensure that students are college-and-career ready, classroom practices might be informed by argumentation in the professions. An analysis of evidence-based reasoning in 3 professions—engineering, law, and medicine—offers out-of-school perspectives on the practices and purposes of argumentation. In these fields, sound argumentation is crucial to successful real-world decision ma…

Military Deployment, Masculinity and Trauma
This article reviews the literature on deployment trauma and examines the limitations of conventional understandings of trauma as they relate to veterans' experiences. It suggests that the failure to take into account social influences and social relationships limits the usefulness of conventional approaches to trauma. The article considers the role that masculinity plays in male veterans' experience of and sense making about trauma. It is sugges…
OpenMx
OpenMx is free, full-featured, open source, structural equation modeling (SEM) software. OpenMx runs within the R statistical programming environment on Windows, Mac OS–X, and Linux computers. The rationale for developing OpenMx is discussed along with the philosophy behind the user interface. The OpenMx data structures are introduced—these novel structures define the user interface framework and provide new opportunities for model specification.…
The Unconverted Subconscious in Psychotherapy
More than forty years ago the famous Christian missionary to India, E. Stanley Jones, introduced the concept of the unconverted subconscious (UnS). Jones asserted that the UnS was a major reason why Christians sometimes do not grow in their faith, fail miserably in their walk with Christ, and are divisive and even abusive within the Body of Christ. Moreover, he believed that parts of the UnS can contribute to a divided self, psychological disorde…
What the Spiders Did
Counterintelligence history has too often relied on a “wilderness of mirrors” trope, which suggests that the discipline is driven by personalities and self-delusion. Using the newly available Vassiliev notebooks and other sources, this article takes a closer look at the historical evolution of U.S. and Soviet counterintelligence as they developed and changed tactics in response to a changing world and the evolving actions of their opponents. Alth…

Sensitivity to reward and body mass index (BMI)
“Notice How You Feel”
Medical schools teach physicians to practice "detached concern," a simultaneous emotional distance from and sensitivity toward their patients. Medical students learn detachment to protect themselves from emotion-laden experiences, including death and dying, by employing mechanisms of defense and adjustment, such as suppression and repression of emotions. In this study, the author inquires whether hospice volunteers are trained for and practice de…
Effect Displays for Multinomial and Proportional-Odds Logit Models
An “effect display” is a graphical or tabular summary of a statistical model based on high-order terms in the model. Effect displays have previously been defined by Fox (1987, 2003) for generalized linear models (including linear models). Such displays are especially compelling for complicated models—for example, those including interactions or polynomial terms. This paper extends effect displays to models commonly used for polytomous categorical…
A Life Course Approach to Chronic Disease Epidemiology
The field of life course epidemiology has expanded rapidly since this book was first published. The purpose of this field is to study how biological and social factors during gestation, childhood, adolescence, and earlier adult life independently, cumulatively, and interactively influence later life health and disease. Contributors to this edition capture the excitement of the developing field and assess the latest evidence regarding sources of r…
How Men's Movement Participants View Each other
This study compares the opinions of men's movements' participants of each other. Nineteen profeminist, 17 men's rights, and 18 mythopoetic activists returned surveys. Overall, the respondents had little awareness of each other. The profeminist and men's rights respondents had negative views of each other, while the pro-feminists were more familiar with the mythopoetic men's issues than with men's rights issues. Further, profeminist respondents we…
Effect Displays in R for Generalised Linear Models
This paper describes the implementation in R of a method for tabular or graphical display of terms in a complex generalised linear model. By complex, I mean a model that contains terms related by marginality or hierarchy, such as polynomial terms, or main effects and interactions. I call these tables or graphs effect displays. Effect displays are constructed by identifying high-order terms in a generalised linear model. Fitted values under the mo…

The Polls and the 1995 Quebec Referendum
We examine 23v oter polls reported in the news media during the two-month period preceding the 1995 Quebec sov ereignty referendum. Contrary to common interpretations of the course of the referendum campaign, we find that there was a smooth and general increase in support for the sov ereignty option during this period, and that Lucien Bouchard's dramatic interv ention on behalf of the `yes' campaign on October 9 apparently had little e#ect onv ot…
A Solution to the Ecological Inference Problem
The program EI provides a method of inferring individual behavior from aggregate data.It implements the statistical procedures, diagnostics, and graphics from the book A Solution to the Ecological Inference Problem: Reconstructing Individual Behavior from Aggregate Data (King 1997).Ecological inference, as traditionally defined, is the process of using aggregate (i.e., "ecological") data to infer discrete individual-level relationships of interes…

Data Analysis Using APL2 and APL2STAT
As has often been recognized, several characteristics of APL make it especially well suited for programming statistical applications: APL treats arrays-vectors, matrices, and higher dimensional arrays-as data structures that can be processed without reference to their elements; it contains many powerful primitive functions and operators for manipulating data; and it is an extensible language, so that user-written programs are employed in the same…
Group Size and Cooperation
To compare the effects of group size on cooperation, we introduce a class of simple multiperson games. These games can be regarded as n-person generalizations of the two-person prisoner's dilemma with expected value payoffs. In order to ensure that identical expected-value monetary alternatives are available to players in different-sized groups, we introduced a certain formal constraint on payoffs. Results of an experimental study comparing three…

Public” Choice and Cooperation in n-Person Prisoner's Dilemma
Four-person groups played repeated trials of an n-Person Prisoner's Dilemma game under two information conditions. In one condition, each player's choice was made known to the others following each trial. In the other information condition each subject was informed only of the number of others who cooperated or competed on each trial. The first condition was a “public choice” situation while the second was an “anonymous choice” situation. The dat…

Effect Displays for Generalized Linear Models
Complex statistical models-especially those incorporating interactions among independent variables-are frequently difficult to interpret, and such models are used increasingly in social research. This paper describes how to explicate a model by calculating and graphing portions of the fitted response surface. The basic approach is first to identify the high-order terms of the model and then to manipulate the independent variables in each such ter…
The Canadian state and corporate elites in the post‐War period
Les théoriciens de l'instrumentalisme affirment qu'un grand nombre des preneurs de décisions de l'état sont issus des cadres supérieurs de grandes entreprises et que ceci explique du moins en partie les politiques gouvernementales favorisant le processus de l'accumulation. D'autre part, les structuralistes soutiennent que ces liens ne sont pas essentiels à une comprehension de l'état capitaliste dont l'évolution et la composition incarnent la dom…
Status Characteristics and Expectation States
In their most recent (1977) theoretical statement dealing with status characteristics and expectation states, Berger and his associates propose a linearfunction for predicting numerical values on a measure of relative power and prestige in task-oriented groups. In this paper we briefly outline the theory and the manner in which this function is employed, and we present a methodfor parameter estimation and assessment of goodness offit which is pre…
Effect Analysis in Structural Equation Models
One of the great virtues of structural equation models is that they permit the quantification of causal and noncausal sources of statistical relationship. The present article discusses efficient matrix methods of computation for effect decomposition and extends these methods to models with unstandardized variables and to nonrecursive models. An appendix includes a computer program, written in APL, which implements the techniques described in the …
Group Size and Others' Strategy in an N-Person Game
The effects of group size and cooperativeness of others upon an individual's propensity to cooperate is studied using the Take-Some format of the Prisoner's Dilemma game. By holding utility effects constant, this format permits comparisons to be made between the performances of subjects in different size groups. A 2 × 2 experimental design was employed in which 48 male subjects were assigned to stooge-player groups comprised of either two or elev…

Equivalence and Stooge Strategies in Zero-Sum Games
Classes of two-person zero-sum games termed "equivalent games" are defined. These are games with identical value and identical optimal mixed-strategies but with different matrix entries and thus different opportunities for exploiting a nonrational opponent. An experiment was conducted to investigate the strategy-choice behavior of subjects playing pairs of these "equivalent games." Also investigated was the extent to which subjects would exploit …
Format Effects in the Prisoner's Dilemma Game
Three different presentation formats of the same Prisoner's Dilemma game were investigated. Fifteen pairs of male subjects were assigned to each of three experimental conditions. One group played a conventional matrix representation of the game, one group played an expected value representation of the game, and one group played a simplified probabilistic version of the game called "Take-Some." Each pair of subjects played their game for fifty tri…

Simultaneous Equation Models and Two-Stage Least Squares
In the last several years, sociologists have expanded their interest in simultaneous equation models beyond recursive systems. (See, for example, Duncan and others, 1971; Gurr and Duvall, 1973; Hawkes, 1975; Hibbs, 1973; Kohn and Schooler, 1973; Waite and Stolzenberg, 1976.) The purpose of this chapter is to present some results of potential use in sociology for nonrecursive models estimated by two-stage least squares (2SLS). Two-stage least-squa…

Residential Density and Neighbor Interaction
At least since Wirth, social scientists have debated the effects of urbanization on social life. More recently, research has focused on the relationship between residential density and social interaction. We argue that the effects of external density on neighbor socializing are likely to depend upon other aspects of the local neighbor hood environment. Using data from a national sample survey we show, in particular, that density affects neighbori…
