To facilitate the comparison, the expected values are termed "x" and the reported
values are referred to as "y". The five x, y pairs are plotted to obtain a linear
regression plot, with the expectation that the coefficient of linearity (r) should be 1,

Decision Modeling for Local Impact and Diverse Populations
This edited volume is an introduction to diverse methods and applications in operations research focused on local populations and community-based organizations that have the potential to improve the lives of individuals and communities in tangible ways. The book's themes include: space, place and community; disadvantaged, underrepresented or underserved populations; international and transnational applications; multimethod, cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches and appropriate technology; and analytics. The book is comprised of eleven original submissions, a re-print of a 2007 article by Johnson and Smilowitz that introduces CBOR, and an introductory chapter that provides policy motivation, antecedents to CBOR in OR/MS, a theory of CBOR and a comprehensive review of the chapters. It is hoped that this book will provide a resource to academics and practitioners who seek to develop methods and applications that bridge the divide between traditional OR/MS rooted in mathematical models and newer streams in 'soft OR' that emphasize problem structuring methods, critical approaches to OR/MS and community engagement and capacity-building.
While many in academia and business had explored (and sometimes exploited)
what would eventually come to be known as operations research for decades
before World War II, the interdisciplinary mathematical science has its formal
origins ...
Proofs, Structures and Applications, Third Edition
Taking an approach to the subject that is suitable for a broad readership, Discrete Mathematics: Proofs, Structures, and Applications, Third Edition provides a rigorous yet accessible exposition of discrete mathematics, including the core mathematical foundation of computer science. The approach is comprehensive yet maintains an easy-to-follow progression from the basic mathematical ideas to the more sophisticated concepts examined later in the book. This edition preserves the philosophy of its predecessors while updating and revising some of the content. New to the Third Edition In the expanded first chapter, the text includes a new section on the formal proof of the validity of arguments in propositional logic before moving on to predicate logic. This edition also contains a new chapter on elementary number theory and congruences. This chapter explores groups that arise in modular arithmetic and RSA encryption, a widely used public key encryption scheme that enables practical and secure means of encrypting data. This third edition also offers a detailed solutions manual for qualifying instructors. Exploring the relationship between mathematics and computer science, this text continues to provide a secure grounding in the theory of discrete mathematics and to augment the theoretical foundation with salient applications. It is designed to help readers develop the rigorous logical thinking required to adapt to the demands of the ever-evolving discipline of computer science.

Anderson Woodbury has just completed his Ph.D. and is now ready to pursue his life-long dream of becoming a Sports Psychologist. But first he has agreed to holiday in Britain at the invitation of a long-time friend, April Brooker, who has come out of retirement to play in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon with a notorious Australian. Anderson plans to make the most of the opportunities presented by his celebrity vacation, but almost from his arrival at Heathrow, he is confronted with unpleasant surprises and challenges which test his professional training and his character. Confused and friendless, Anderson fights to bring his emotions under control: he must draw on all his resources if he is to salvage his future happiness. Other titles in this series include: Games of Consequence Playing Advantage Other Books by John Dutch include: April Brooker April Brooker: The Tournament April Brooker and Emily McLean April Brooker: The Family Sunshine When I Need a Hand
