Our books collection saves in multiple locations, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the using multivariate statistics is universally compatible with any devices to read.

Using Multivariate Statistics

My work includes writing cryptographic specifications for Thales products , providing assistance to development teams, technology watch, writing scientific reports to external clients, and operational software development. The title of my thesis was \" Gaussian Sampling in Lattice-Based Cryptography \" , and I was directed by Vadim Lyubashevsky (ÉNS) and Sylvain Lachartre (Thales). I used algorithmic, statistical and algebraic tools to make lattice-based cryptography more practical and also worked on efficient implementations of it. I developped and qualified a cryptographic library, directed by Sylvain Lachartre and Olivier Orcière. I worked on improving the polynomial selection for the NFS sieve, directed by Paul Zimmermann. My work was integrated in the CADO-NFS project and led to the publication of a research article. I studied elliptic curves and their applications in cryptography, directed by Marc Hindry.

Experiential learning – a systematic review and revision of Kolb’s model

This chapter reviews the basic materials and methods of demography and their relevance for applied demography as a sub-discipline. Definitions and concepts utilized are described, and basic demographic techniques that have relevance and types of data important for real-world applications are introduced.

The Adventure Therapy Experience Scale: The Psychometric Properties of a Scale to Measure the Unique Factors Moderating an Adventure Therapy Experience:

The development and factor analysis of the Adventure Therapy Experience Scale (ATES) is the first attempt found in the literature to empirically and quantitatively identify therapeutic factors theorized to affect change in the adventure therapy experience (Russell & Gillis, 2017). This study utilizes the ATES to explore how its inherent factors may impact treatment outcome utilizing a routine outcome monitoring process to empirically test how these factors may contribute to treatment outcome over time. The sample of 168 males 21.5 years of age completed an average of 79.6 days in the 90-day adventure-based substance use disorder residential treatment program. In the model, adventure-based experiences are a primary treatment tool. For outcome monitoring, all clients were administered the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45.2) at intake, every 2 weeks, and at discharge. In addition, clients were administered the 18-item ATES every 2 weeks. The ATES contains 2 items measuring how helpful the adventure experience was as well as how mindful they were of their treatment process during the experience. Clients also answer 16 Likert items measuring responses on 4 subscales: group adventure, nature, challenge, and reflection. Results reveal that clients, on average, improved in their psycho-social functioning as measured by the OQ 45.2. Weeks with higher helpfulness, mindfulness, and group adventure scores than the client's average helpfulness, mindfulness, and group adventure score, had greater decreases in OQ scores than weeks with lower helpfulness, mindfulness, and group adventure scores. Clients with higher aggregate helpfulness and group adventure scores, across all treatment weeks, had greater decreases in OQ scores than clients with lower aggregate helpfulness and group adventure scores. Implications for practice and future research are also discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

Process factors explaining psycho-social outcomes in adventure therapy.

We examine aspects of engagement (MacKenzie, 1983) as predictors of longitudinal change in Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 scores (Lambert, Kahler, Harmon, Burlingame, & Shimokawa, 2011) for 68, 18-24-year-old male residents in a 10-bed, open enrollment 90-day residential, substance use treatment program. Engagement was partitioned into within-member, between-member, within-other members, and between-other members' effects. Within-member engagement represented how a group member's score for a week deviated from that member's average engagement score (across all weeks), whereas between-member engagement was the member's average engagement score. Similarly, within-other member engagement represented how the other group members' scores for a week deviated from the other group members' average engagement score (across all weeks), whereas between-other member engagement was the other group members' average engagement score. A 2-level hierarchical linear model showed the interaction of between-member engagement and between-other member engagement was related to decreasing OQ-45 scores. When other group members generally saw the group as more engaged, higher group member average engagement ratings were related to improvement. There was a significant interaction between within-member engagement and between-member engagement in predicting OQ-45 scores. When clients generally saw the group as more engaged, weeks with relatively more member engagement, compared with other weeks, were associated with improvement in OQ-45 scores. However, when clients generally saw the group as less engaged, weeks with relatively more group member engagement, compared with other weeks, were associated with greater deterioration in OQ scores. We recommend tracking week-to-week changes in member and other member engagement to identify group members who are not getting optimal program benefits. (PsycINFO Database Record

Between-client and within-client engagement and outcome in a residential wilderness treatment group: An actor partner interdependence analysis.

This paper identifies non-profit and for-profit adolescent residential treatment programs in the United States and hypothesizes the number of adolescents who will enter residential treatment in a typical year. We then explore through a survey of open ended responses how programs or clinical directors define and apply “experiential therapy,” including what theoretical basis and practical methods may guide their therapeutic approach in residential treatment. The results indicate that the majority of residential treatment programs believe they are practicing what is defined in this paper as experiential therapy, and that a model of the therapeutic process may be warranted. Central to the model is the use of intentional experiential activities to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals. The proposed model of the theoretical basis, process and reported outcomes provides a framework for practitioners, researchers, and other mental health professionals to continue discussion on the use of experience as a therapeutic tool. The model begins to shed light on the discussion of why experiential methods may be more approachable for adolescents and parents who are turned off by the stigma and barriers presented by traditional residential treatment models.

Experiential Therapy in the Mental Health Treatment of Adolescents

Progress monitoring (PM) is the periodic and reliable assessment of client progress to evaluate and inform psychotherapeutic treatment. PM’s use in a variety of treatment contexts show improved treatment outcome, dropout rate reduction, moderated treatment deterioration, and more efficient treatment delivery. This study reports the preliminary results of a PM implementation initiative at a youth care program that focuses on substance use disorder treatment. Participants were 70 adolescent clients (mean age 16.6 years, 56% male, 58% White, 30% Aboriginal or Metis). A time series evaluation design guided the study, where data were collected at admission, periodic intervals during treatment, and at discharge. Descriptive analysis was performed on all demographic variables. Pairwise t tests and effect sizes were calculated to determine clinically significant change. PM was successfully implemented in the youth care program and the outcomes associated with PM were statistically and clinically significant with large effect sizes reported. Changes in the development of mindfulness related-skills were positively associated with changes in outcome. Case studies illustrate how PM can identify clients who are not responding to treatment. PM in adolescent substance use treatment programs is an important consideration for program providers. Implementation needs to involve staff, be flexible, empower clients, and be integrated into the culture of programs. The successful implementation of PM can help identify clients who are not responding to treatment and generate useful and reliable outcome data. Recommendations for how PM can be implemented in similar youth care programs are also discussed.
