Comparing Human Perception to Computational Classifications of Lexical Tones
… Thai speakers. The computational model produced classifications based on predictions made by a Hidden Markov Model that simulates tone perception and categorization. The computational model tested the categorization of stimuli taken from both citation and continuous contexts of Thai tonal data, …

Simulation as a Method for Determining Inventory Classifications for allocation
Companies that utilize multiple facilities to satisfy customer demand are faced with the same basic question - where should inventory be held? This thesis presents a method for answering this question, specifically for a company that allocates multiple units across multiple facilities, where any …

Comparability of SIRS and SIRS-2 Classifications with External Response Bias Criteria
<p>The current study compared the classification groups between the SIRS and SIRS-2 using samples of disability claimants and criminal defendants. Results suggest that the newly revised SIRS-2 may have less clinical utility than the original SIRS. Implications of these results for both clinical and …

Children's Understanding of Racial Classifications as a Function of Their Knowledge of Inheritance
Many studies have examined how children categorize various objects but few studies have looked at how children categorize race. Research shows that adults tend to essentialize race; that is, they treat race as a natural kind (Madole, Keleman, Glerum & Webb, 1999). Do children treat race in the same …
