between these two values.
Continuing on in our discussion
of the SCORM standard and how communication happens
between a SCO and as LMS, in this installment we will be diving a
bit into the SCORM
data model and discussing how SCORM tracks course
data.
The Tricky
Bit — How to Account for Selection Bias Now for the important question, in the context
of these
data and techniques, how did I compare students in choice schools to students in traditional public school knowing that that difference in decision might be because
of some unobservable characteristic obscuring the true comparison
between choice students and traditional public school students?
We need to explore and apply methodologies that allow for participatory research: focusing not on individual
bits of information («
data») but instead evaluating the ongoing relationships

No specific
data is available on other animals, but based on the population difference
between dogs and ferrets (78.2 million dogs versus 525,000 ferrets, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers» National Pet Owners Survey, 2011 - 2012), and considering that a lot
of other things can
bite and sting besides ferrets, the number
of ferret
bites must be rather small.
With totals
of Toronto dogs by breed and ten years
of bite data, it is possible to see which dogs are most likely to

between 2000 and 2010.
There's really no reason to transmit every single piece

Mike's work, like that
of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use
of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal
data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth
of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational
data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role
of solar variations in explaining the pattern
of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship
between the climate changes
of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a
bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis
of beryllium - 7 measurements).
And personally, if the choice is
between admitting that a third party has got hold
of some
of our
data — which will cause embarrassment and apology and a
bit of grovelling — , or that we have lost our last copy
of our

of business, I'd choose the grovelling any day.
Steve, unfortunately for this station the raw
data ends in 1984, so it's a
bit hard to say much about a difference in slope
between raw and adjusted
data from 1970 - 1984 (I would have to do a significance testing to see if you even have enough
data records for any slope to be significant for only 15 years
of observations).
Actually Fielding's use
of that graph is quite informative
of how denialist arguments are framed — the selected
bit of a selected graph (and don't mention the fastest warming region on the planet being left out
of that
data set), or the complete passing over
of short term variability vs longer term trends, or the other measures and indicators
of climate change from ocean heat content and sea levels to changes in ice sheets and minimum sea ice levels, or the passing over
of issues like lag time
between emissions and effects on temperatures... etc..
