hopefully give them some helpful feedback.” Now, for her math capstone, she’s running a statistical analysis, using principal component analysis to simplify the dataset and suggest ways the U.N. agency can fine-tune their surveys and reporting. If collaborating with a U.N. agency seems unexpected for a chemistry major, for Jackie, it’s been a natural outcome from the innovative interdisciplinary approach of PLU’s International Honors Program (IHON). Through IHON, Jackie originally traveled to Oxford in

dominated and in many cases distorted coverage in this year’s presidential election, as well as past elections. “Many, if not all of us, rely on the media for the information we need,” Pozner said. “We assume that broadcasts journalists have the public interest at heart and will present hard-hitting analysis that will help us decide how to vote.” Not necessarily the case. In fact, one study shows that the more television voters watch, the more misinformed and confused they become. In her multi-media

Your analysis should involve bat speed and swing length to study any topic related to the batter, pitcher, or batter-pitcher interaction during an at bat. Finalists will be invited to present at the 2025 CSAS on April 11-12, 2025. Winning teams will have the opportunity to showcase their team’s work to data scientists in the

Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) Posted by: nicolacs / December 1, 2023 December 1, 2023 The Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) and Data Science is sponsored jointly by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The comprehensive six to seven week summer training course on biostatistics and principles of data science combines classroom learning with career mentoring and hands-on data analysis using

, innovations in technology and statistical analysis help research psychologists run their calculations using programs like SPSS Statistics. These computing innovations have increased researchers’ capabilities and given them opportunities for more advanced analysis through a much simpler process. Innovation is not just technology, of course, and in Psychology many areas of the discipline are undergoing rapid change. In fact, Psychology is relatively new in comparison to other sciences such as biology, and

they did. According to their adviser, the students made sure they weren’t becoming reactionary investors. “They have to use analysis,” Boeh said. “That’s the way they should do it. They’re not doing it based on gut reaction.” As much as Boeh implores students to use the knowledge they’ve learned, the decisions are still in their hands. “It’s not meant for me to be telling them what to do,” he said. And sure enough, thoughtful and thorough analysis helped rebuild the fund this last year. “The beauty
