Exam 12: Advanced Topics, research Frontiers, and Preparing the Final Report

_______________ is a data-based selection bias that occurs when data are deemed "bad" using arbitrary criteria,often as they come in,instead of using explicitly-stated or previously agree-upon standards.

The most general form of heterogeneity model in current use is called

In preparing a written report,a simple graph can convey far more than a table with the same information.

The executive summary is a condensed,accurate statement of the report's most crucial findings that is the essential element of nearly all research reports.

The selection equation of the Heckman model is an ordered logit model.

It is important to remember that a sample that is collected non-randomly will always have a bias.

What is the Heckman model,how does it work,and what is it used for?

Correcting for selection bias relies on the _______________ for selection

For prediction,the Heckman model can use any regression-based model.

Performing multiple,related studies and reporting only those that support the favored hypotheses is called

The methodology component of the written report should contain all of the following information except

The model for selection in question #23 is used instead of others because

The following results from the Application Case Study presented in the text show means for selection of movies (Selection Distribution) and how they were rated (Prediction Distribution). Refer to this table to answer the following questions. Hierarchical Bayes Sample Selection Model for Movie Ratings Predictions -Which types of movies are not selected often,yet are rated highly when selected?

The hierarchical Bayes model is called "hierarchical" because

Within marketing research,"heterogeneity" is generally used to refer to

The selection bias of "data mining" occurs when researchers perform a huge number of analyses and present the most significant results as if they were the only a priori hypotheses.

For most reports,what is the typical format (of 7 sections)?

In using pie charts to illustrate data in written reports,it is advisable not to exceed

In examining the differences between men's and women's weight,it can be said that women have a lower baseline weight then men.This is an example of

Identify the 4 components of the "body" of the written report.
