Data archive for "Engineering chiral induction in centrally functionalized ortho-phenylenes"
Work on foldamers, non-biological oligomers that mimic the hierarchical structure of biomacromolecules, continues to yield new architectures of ever increasing complexity. o-Phenylenes, a class of helical aromatic foldamers, ... -
Data archive for "Conformational control of ortho-phenylenes by terminal amides"
Control over the folding of oligomers, be it broad induction of a preferred helical handedness or subtle changes in the orientations of individual functional groups, is important for applications ranging from molecular ... -
Modeling Frequency and Severity of Claims with the Zero-Inflated Generalized Cluster-Weighted Models
In this paper, we propose two important extensions to cluster-weighted models (CWMs). First, we extend CWMs to have generalized cluster-weighted models (GCWMs) by allowing modeling of non-Gaussian distribution of the ... -
Using Model Averaging to Determine Suitable Risk Measure Estimates
Recent research in loss modeling resulted in a growing number of classes of statistical models as well as additional models being proposed within each class. Empirical results indicate that a range of models within or ... -
Identifying subgroups of age and cohort effects in obesity prevalence
The obesity epidemic represents an important public health issue in the United States. Studying obesity trends across age groups over time helps to identify crucial relationships between the disease and medical treatment ... -
Assessing the performance of confidence intervals for high quantiles of Burr XII and Inverse Burr mixtures
Recent research in the area of univariate mixture modeling indicated that the finite mixture models based on Burr and Inverse Burr component distributions perform well in the modeling of heavy-tail insurance data. Mixture ... -
Mixture modeling of data with multiple partial right-censoring levels
In this paper, a new flexible approach to modeling data with multiple partial right-censoring points is proposed. This method is based on finite mixture models, flexible tool to model heterogeneity in data. A general ... -
An exploration of gender gap using advanced data science tools: actuarial research community
This paper explores the role of gender gap in the actuarial research community with advanced data science tools. The web scraping tools were employed to create a database of publications that encompasses six major actuarial ... -
A new computational approach for estimation of the Gini index based on grouped data
Many government agencies still rely on the grouped data as the main source of infor- mation for calculation of the Gini index. Previous research showed that the Gini index based on the grouped data suffers the first and ... -
"Wouldn't it be cool if we could...?"
This is a formative evaluation report, completed for Butler Tech (a public-school district in Southwest Ohio) in relation to their Fifth Day Experience (FDE) pilot during the 2019-20 school year. -
Data archive for "Guest-driven control of folding in a crown-ether-functionalized ortho-phenylene"
A crown-ether-functionalized o-phenylene tetramer has been synthesized and coassembled with monotopic and ditopic, achiral and chiral secondary ammonium ion guests. NMR spectroscopy shows that the o-phenylene forms both ... -

Data archive for "Fluorine Labeling of ortho-Phenylenes to Facilitate Conformational Analysis"
1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the conformational analysis of ortho-phenylene foldamers in solution. However, as o-phenylenes are integrated into ever more complex systems, we are reaching the limits of what ...
