Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis: Understanding concepts and applications

by Bruce Thompson , 2004
"... provides a concise (162 pages of text) and basic overview of two disciplines of assessing structure: exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As Thompson explains, the book was written ‘‘to strike a happy medium between accuracy and completeness versus over-whelming ..."

"... In a sample of 398 firms from Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, firm-level differences in variables related to corporate governance had a strong impact on firm performance during the East Asian financial crisis of 1997 to 1998. Significantly better stock price performance is ..."

The groups of Richard Thompson and complexity

by Jean-camille Birget - International Conference on Semigroups and Groups in honor of the 65th birthday of Prof , 2004
"... We prove new results about the remarkable infinite simple groups introduced by Richard Thompson in the 1960s. We define the groups as partial transformation groups and we give a faithful representation in the Cuntz C ⋆-algebra. For the finitely presented simple group Tfin we show that the word-lengt ..."

Review: Knowledge in an Uncertain World by Jeremy Fantl and Matthew McGrath

by unknown authors
"... David Lewis reminded us that fallibilism is ‘mad’, but the lesser of two evils when considering the infallibilist alternative (1996). Knowledge in an Uncertain World (KUW) tries to temper this madness by providing a systematic account of when knowledge can fall short of infallibility, one that allow ..."

that allows pragmatic considerations to encroach into our epistemology. Fantl and McGrath’s pragmatic fallibilism states that knowing that p is compatible with an epistemic probability of being wrong, provided it is ‘idle’, i.e. it does not change the extent to which one can employ the proposition in one’s

Metrics and embeddings of generalizations of Thompson’s group

by J. Burillo, S. Cleary, M. I. Stein - F. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc
"... Abstract. The distance from the origin in the word metric for generalizations F(p) of Thompson’s group F is quasi-isometric to the number of carets in the reduced rooted tree diagrams representing the elements of F(p). This interpretation of the metric is used to prove that every F(p) admits a quasi ..."

Monoid generalizations of the Richard Thompson groups

by Jean-camille Birget - Mathematics ArXiv: math.GR/0704.0189 , 2007
"... The groups Gk,1 of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman can be generalized in a natural way to monoids, that we call Mk,1, and to inverse monoids, called Invk,1; this is done by simply generalizing bijections to partial functions or partial injective functions. The monoids Mk,1 have connections with c ..."

. They are finitely generated, and their word problem over any finite generating set is in P. Their word problem is coNP-complete over certain infinite generating sets. 1 Thompson-Higman monoids Since their introduction by Richard J. Thompson in the mid 1960s [25, 22, 26], the Thompson groups have had a great impact

AKSHAY ON SHIMURA VARIETIES NOTES/ERRORS BY JEREMY BOOHER AND SAM LICHTENSTEIN

by unknown authors
"... 1.1. Shimura varieties are like a brightly colored toy. The motivation for their study comes from considering moduli spaces of Hodge structures. Let X be a smooth, complex, projective variety of dimension n. The lattice Λ = H n (X, Z)/torsion (the singular cohomology in middle degree) carries extra ..."

structures beyond that of a free abelian group, in virtue of the fact that X is a complex variety. (1) It has a pure Hodge structure of weight n: in other words, ΛC = Λ ⊗Z C has an action of the algebraic R-group C × ; equivalently, ΛC decomposes as a direct sum ΛC = ⊕ p+q=n satisfying Λpq = Λqp, where z ∈ C
