This entry contains all the artifacts created and data utilized in our research on developing a Machine Learning DSML, models, and software for a Baseball Case Study. -
Persuasion and Pragmatics: An Empirical Test of the Guru Effect Model
Decades of research have investigated the complex role of source credibility in attitude persuasion. Current theories of persuasion predict that when messages are thoughtfully scrutinized, argument strength will tend to ... -
Towards the Realization of a DSML for Machine Learning: A Baseball Analytics Use Case
Using machine learning (ML) for big data is challenging, requiring specialized knowledge of the domain, learning algorithms, and software engineering. To demonstrate the viability of model-driven engineering in the ML ... -
A Survey of Baseball Machine Learning: A Technical Report
Statistical analysis of baseball has long been popular, albeit only in limited capacity until relatively recently. The recent proliferation of computers has added tremendous power and opportunity to this field. Even an ... -

An evaluation of the reconstructed coefficient of determination and potential adjustments
Previously, a method was proposed for calculating a reconstructed coefficient of determination in the case of right-censored regression using the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. This measure is assessed via ... -
Fouling-Release Performance of Silicone Oil-Modified SiloxanePolyurethane Coatings
The effect of incorporation of silicone oils into a siloxanepolyurethane fouling-release coatings system was explored. Incorporation of phenylmethyl silicone oil has been shown to improve the fouling-release performance ... -
Modeling loss data using mixtures of distributions
In this paper, we propose an alternative approach for flexible modeling of heavy tailed, skewed insurance loss data exhibiting multimodality, such as the well-known data set on Danish Fire losses. Our approach is based on ... -
Redefining standards for body mass index of the US population based on BRFSS data using mixtures
Using body mass index (BMI) data from 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we test a spectrum of single parametric skewed distributions as well as Gaussian mixture densities to determine best distributional ...
