Journal ArticleDOI
Polytomous logistic regression
TL;DR: In this article, a review of some methods available for modelling relationships between categorical response variables and explanatory variables is given, which are all classed under the name polytomous logistic regression (PLR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Local polynomial regression: Optimal kernels and asymptotic minimax efficiency
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an optimal kernel for local polynomial regression estimators, revealing that there is a universal optimal weighting scheme for local linear regression estimator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Finger Counting on Numerical Development – The Opposing Views of Neurocognition and Mathematics Education
TL;DR: The rationale of both lines of evidence and the results reveal an important debate between neurocognitive and mathematics education research concerning the benefits and detriments of finger-based strategies for numerical development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model Estimation in Nonlinear-regression Under Shape Invariance
Alois Kneip,Joachim Engel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an iterative algorithm for estimating individual parameters as well as the model function is introduced under the assumption of a certain shape invariance: the individual regression curves are obtained from a common shape function by linear transformations of the axes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical literacy for active citizenship: a call for data science education
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that in order to re-root public debate to be based on facts instead of emotions and to promote evidence-based policy decisions, statistics education needs to embrace two areas widely neglected in secondary and tertiary education: understanding of multivariate phenomena and the thinking with and learning from complex data.
