Biased sampling occurs frequently in economics, epidemiology, and medical studies either by design or due to data collecting mechanism. Failing to take into account the sampling bias usually leads to incorrect inference. We propose a unified estimation procedure and a computationally fast resampling method to make statistical inference for…

Zobac, Stephanie; Spears, Julia; Barker, Gregory – Learning Communities: Research & Practice, 2014
This article presents a method for addressing the self-selection bias of students who participate in learning communities (LCs). More specifically, this research utilizes equivalent comparison groups based on selected incoming characteristics of students, known as bootstraps, to account for self-selection bias. To address the differences in…

Kersting, Nicole B.; Chen, Mei-kuang; Stigler, James W. – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2013
If teacher value-added estimates (VAEs) are to be used as indicators of
individual teacher performance in teacher evaluation and accountability systems, it is important to understand how much VAEs are affected by the data and model specifications used to estimate them. In this study we explored the effects of three conditions on the stability of…

Grimley, Michael; Green, Richard; Nilsen, Trond; Thompson, David – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Computer games are purported to be effective instructional tools that enhance motivation and improve engagement. The aim of this study was to investigate how tertiary student experiences change when instruction was computer game based compared to lecture based, and whether experiences differed between high and low achieving students. Participants…

Hofer, Scott M.; Flaherty, Brian P.; Hoffman, Lesa – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2006
The effect of time-related mean differences on estimates of association in cross-sectional studies has not been widely recognized in developmental and aging research. Cross-sectional studies of samples varying in age have found moderate to high levels of shared age-related variance among diverse age-related measures. These findings may be…
