Course description
This course is essentially a continuation of the study of statistics that you have already begun in your graduate studies. It is designed to provide you with a solid grounding in the theory and practice of experimental design and subsequent statistical modeling that form the empirical basis of modern psychological science. In addition, we will discuss some of the philosophical underpinning of modern scientific inference and wade into the debate on frequentist versus Bayesian approaches to inference. We will accomplish this through weekly lectures, textbook reading, homework exercises, and periodic exams. All students enrolled in this course are required to have previously taken PSYC 5300 (Behavioral Statistics) or have equivalent statistical background.
Course materials
- Textbook
- Experiment design for the social and behavioural sciences by Boniface
- Software
- R (free download from r-project.org)
- RStudio (free download from rstudio.org)
- JASP (free download from jasp-stats.org).
- Calculator
- though, strictly speaking, you can use R for all of your calculation needs, you should have a standalone calculator that is capable of performing the most basic scientific computations (exponents, square roots, logarithms, etc.). A graphing calculator is not required, though I will be using one (TI-84) when I demonstrate calculations. Find one you like using!
Student learning outcomes
- Understand the classical elements of inference in psychological research, including basic probability theory, hypothesis testing, and error control
- Know the basic elements of experimental design (e.g., measurement, random assignment, etc.)
- Understand the mechanics of classical analysis of variance in single-factor and two-factor design
- Know how to adapt inferential procedures for within-subjects designs and, more generally, designs with covariates
- Understand the differences between frequentist and Bayesian approaches to hypothesis testing
- Use appropriate software packages to perform both frequentist and Bayesian hypothesis tests for a variety of experimental designs
Requirements and grading
- Exam 1 (100 points)
- Exam 2 (100 points)
- Exam 3 (100 points)
- Homework exercises (100 points)
- Class participation (100 points)
- Total = 500 points
Grades will be assigned based on the percentage of points you accumulate out of these 500 points. I will use the standard grading scale of A=90%, B=80%, etc.
Exams (60% of grade)
There will be three regular exams throughout the semester, tentatively scheduled for Week 5 (Feb 11), Week 11 (Apr 2), and Week 16 (May 7). Exams will be completed in class on these dates, and you will have the entire class period (6:30-9:15 pm) to complete the exam. All work will be submitted in a bluebook, and no collaboration will be allowed. Generally speaking, no textbooks or lecture notes may be used on exams, but reasonable relaxations of this rule will be provided on a per-exam basis (depending on difficulty of content, etc.).
Homework exercises (20% of grade)
Each week at the end of lecture, you will be given a set of exercises that will provide you with an opportunity to practice the concepts you've learned. You may collaborate on these exercises, but I ask that anything turned in represents your own understanding of the collaborative work. Please write neatly, and clearly label each problem. Homework will be turned in at the beginning of the next class (i.e., you'll have exactly one week to complete the problems).
Class participation (20% of grade)
This is a very active course, and we will learn a lot every week. It is essential that you participate in all class sessions. Your class participation grade will be reflective of the effort that I've seen you put into the course. Most people will earn all 100 possible points, but I reserve the right to lower this grade if you miss excessive class meetings.
Course Communication
Email is the primary means of official communication for this course. If you have questions about the course, always feel free to send me an email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I only ask that you adhere to two guidelines:
- please include the course number (PSYC 5301) in the subject line. For example, one good way to do this is: Subject: [PSYC 5301] Question about HW 3
- please use proper email etiquette.  You might be surprised how many times I get an email from a nondescript email address with no indication from WHOM the email was sent!
Also, I will send periodic class announcements via email. Thus, it is imperative that you check your Tarleton email address regularly so that you don't miss any of these messages.
University Policy on "F" Grades
Beginning in Fall 2015, Tarleton began differentiating between a failed grade in a class because a student never attended (F0 grade), stopped attending at some point in the semester (FX grade), or because the student did not pass the course (F) but attended the entire semester. These grades will be noted on the official transcript. Stopping or never attending class can result in the student having to return aid monies received. For more information see the Tarleton Financial Aid website.
Academic Honesty
Cheating, plagiarism (submitting another person’s materials or ideas as one’s own without proper attribution), or doing work for another person who will receive academic credit are all disallowed. This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure of give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers, or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student’s own work. Disciplinary action may be taken beyond the academic discipline administered by the faculty member who teaches the course in which the cheating took place.
The minimum sanction for any act of academic dishonesty is a grade of 0 on the affected assignment; a grade of F for the course may be assigned in severe cases.
Academic Affairs Core Value Statements
Academic Integrity Statement
Tarleton State University's core values are integrity, leadership, tradition, civility, excellence, and service. Central to these values is integrity, which is maintaining a high standard of personal and scholarly conduct. Academic integrity represents the choice to uphold ethical responsibility for one’s learning within the academic community, regardless of audience or situation.
Academic Civility Statement
Students are expected to interact with professors and peers in a respectful manner that enhances the learning environment. Professors may require a student who deviates from this expectation to leave the face-to-face (or virtual) classroom learning environment for that particular class session (and potentially subsequent class sessions) for a specific amount of time. In addition, the professor might consider the university disciplinary process (for Academic Affairs/Student Life) for egregious or continued disruptive behavior.
Academic Excellence Statement
Tarleton holds high expectations for students to assume responsibility for their own individual learning. Students are also expected to achieve academic excellence by:
- honoring Tarleton’s core values, upholding high standards of habit and behavior.
- maintaining excellence through class attendance and punctuality, preparing for active participation in all learning experiences.
- putting forth their best individual effort.
- continually improving as independent learners.
- engaging in extracurricular opportunities that encourage personal and academic growth.
- reflecting critically upon feedback and applying these lessons to meet future challenges.
Students with Disabilities Policy
It is the policy of Tarleton State University to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable laws. If you are a student with a disability seeking accommodations for this course, please contact the Center for Access and Academic Testing, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The office is located in Math 201.

Liam Gallagher at 3Arena, Dublin: Everything you need to know
Set list, times, tickets, restricted items and more for the singer’s two Dublin gigs
And so it looks as if the runt of the litter has sneaked up behind the top dog and bitten him on the butt. This was never supposed to happen, of course. Noel Gallagher was the primary Beatles-fixated songwriter in Oasis, his younger brother, Liam, the snarling vocalist. When the band split, the former went on to consolidate his career via his High Flying Birds outfit, while the latter formed the mediocre Beady Eye, which soon went belly-up. But the past few years has seen tables turning, with Noel treading water as Liam splashes. With two successful solo albums under his belt – 2017’s As You Were and this year’s Why Me? Why Not – and sold-out shows here and elsewhere, one has to give credit where it’s due.
Who’s the support act?
Miles Kane, the Last Shadow Puppet and one-time Rascals frontman.
When and where are the gigs?
On Saturday and Sunday evening, at 3Arena in Dublin.
What time should I arrive?
Doors open at 6.30pm. No official set timings have been released, but you can expect the support act to be getting under way after 7pm.
How do I get there – and home again?
Parking is available in the Point Village car park (you can book through Ticketmaster for €13.85), but better to leave the car at home and use the Luas – get off at the final stop of the red line, the Point. There are usually extra trams on show nights because of the increased demand. The last Luas is scheduled to leave the Point at 12.30am on Saturday and 11.30pm on Sunday.
What will Liam Gallagher play?
If it’s anything like his recent gigs, expect to hear:
- Rock’n’Roll Star
- Halo
- Shockwave
- Wall of Glass
- Morning Glory
- Columbia
- Stand by Me
- Once
- Why Me? Why Not
- Greedy Soul
- The River
- Gas Panic!
- Wonderwall
- Acquiesce
- Roll With It
- Supersonic
- Champagne Supernova
- Cigarettes & Alcohol
Are there any tickets left?
Sunday’s show is sold out, but Ticketmaster still has a few tickets for Saturday’s concert. Concertgoers are advised buy tickets from accredited sources only.
What’s the security?
All bags will be searched at the door. Bottles, cans, selfie sticks, large umbrellas, iPads and other tablets, video cameras, professional cameras, audio recorders, GoPros, large posters (A3 or bigger), large flags on poles, belt chains and laser pointers are prohibited, along with anything that could be seen as a weapon. Large bags, backpacks and suitcases aren’t allowed into the arena, and there are no cloakroom facilities. With all this in mind, best to pack light and just bring what you need.
Can I take photographs?
No cameras or recording devices will be allowed into the arena, but you can bring and use your smartphone for photos and videos.
Accessibility
For special needs, please check the venue information page for details of facilities and companion tickets. Should you require further information please call the Special Needs Hotline:<PHONE_NUMBER> (Rep of Ireland);<PHONE_NUMBER>6 (Northern Ireland & UK); 00353 818 903 001 (International).


This is the service details page. Use this page to modify the meta-data, plans, and policies for the service. There is no need to follow the tabs in order, but note that you will need to fill out a minimum amount of data before the service can be published to the Gateway. In particular, the Implementation and Plans tabs are important (more information below).
The 'Implementation' tab is where you go to configure the details of the real service being managed. This is where you tell apiman where the service is, so that we can actually invoke it at runtime.
The 'Definition' tab allows you to configure an optional Service Definition document for your service. A Service Definition is a detailed description of the capabilities of your Service (operation names, http verbs, data models). For example, you might add a Swagger spec document as your Service Definition.
The 'Plans' tab is used to configure which Plans (already defined in the Organization) are available when an Application wishes to create a Service Contract with this Service. Optionally, a Service can also be marked as "Public", which means that no Service Contract is required (the Service can be invoked without sending an API Key).
The 'Policies' tab is where you go if you wish to configure any policies that should be enforced for *all* requests to the Service, regardless of which user, application, or plan is being used. In other words, Service-level policies.
The 'Contracts' tab will show a table of all Applications that have created Service Contracts to this Service. In other words, it shows all of the registered consumers of the Service. Note that if the Service is marked as "Public", this tab will likely be empty.
The 'Endpoint' tab will show you information about how to invoke the Service once it is published to the API Gateway.
The 'Activity' tab shows a history of all the changes made to the Service. Essentially it is an audit log.


Connect the islands by laying bridges. There may be up to two bridges between any two islands. There must be exactly the number of bridges connecting to an island as shown on the island. All islands must be connected, that is, it must be possible to travel from any island to any other by crossing bridges.
Fill in the boxes to create a picture. The numbers along each row and column represent runs of black pixels that must appear in that row or column. For example, "3 3 2" indicates that the row or column contains three runs of black, two of length 3 one of length 2. A run of black is bounded either by white space or by the edge of the row or column.
Click a pixel to toggle it. Hold down the "ctrl" key to fill in white pixels. Hold down the "shift" key to mark a guess.
The puzzle is solved when all the boxes that are part of the picture are marked black, and none of the other pixels is marked black.
Build a fence around a section of the grid. The fence must form a single, continuous loop, dividing the grid into squares that are inside the fence and squares that are outside the fence. For each numbered square in the grid, there must be exactly the number of fence segments adjacent to the square as shown in the square.

San Jose is located in the beautiful country known as Costa Rica, which is known for its biodiversity and its flourishing lands. It's the capital city of the nation that leads the fight for clean energy, and maintains its spot as one of the most environmentally progressive countries of the world. The citizens are easy-going and friendly, which is reflected in their common saying, "Pura Vida". It means hello, goodbye, no worries, being thankful, etc, and the phrase is a small glimpse of the wonderful culture. San Jose boasts of having delicious coffee which is a must-have especially for caffeine-deprived. With a cup of coffee in hand, it is easier to keep up with the many experiences that the city and her inhabitants have to offer.

OUR MISSION:
We believe in fashion – an industry which values people, the environment, creativity and profits in equal measure, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that this happens.
Our mission is to bring everyone together to make that happen.
On 24th April each year, Fashion Revolution will bring everyone in the fashion value chain together and help to raise awareness of the true cost of fashion, show the world that change is possible, and celebrate all those involved in creating a more sustainable future.
As a global movement uniting around an annual campaign, over the next 5 years we believe we will build considerable momentum and achieve incredible impact together. We recognize that, in many cases, Fashion Revolution will bring together organisations and people that, outside of Fashion Revolution, remain competitors.


title=Multi Client Development with Spring Webinar on March 14, 2013 date=2013-03-07 type=post tags=blog status=published ~~~~~~
I'm going to be doing a webinar for SpringSource on March 14th, 2013, called Multi Client Development with Spring (and Spring MVC). The webinar will feature an introduction to Spring MVC's basic component model, as well as the principles of REST. Once we've introduced Spring's REST support, we'll look at how to take your application to your users by building clients that your users want to use with Spring Mobile, Spring Android, and HTML5.
Be sure to register now and bring questions, ideas, etc. I look forward to seeing you at there, and we'll look at some of the amazing support Spring offers for building best-of-breed web-centric, RESTful applications.
