components of a logic model and types of outcomes 1

/in /by

should be at least 350 words and should reflect the fact that you have completed the Reading and activities. Use your words wisely so that the posting has substance and includes examples and explanations. Best practice is to include citations and a reference list.

  1. Identifying outcomes and a long-term impact of your program is important during program planning and design. Recommend ways for individuals to ensure that they have an accurate idea of what the outcomes and long-term impact of their program will be. Provide some examples in your answer of how organizations can project the outcomes and long-term impact of their programs.
  2. The Inputs (resources) section of a logic model needs to be closely related to the Activities section. Examine what potential consequences could occur if an organization does not accurately identify the resources that it needs to carry out the activities that it is proposing during the planning and design stage of a program. Explore some of the long- term impacts of this kind of issue.
  3. Assess the different types of individual outcomes related to logic models. Determine why it would be important to consider what types of individual outcomes are to be expected from your program during planning and design.
  4. Outcomes from a program can also occur on a community level. Examine why it may be beneficial to organizations to think about outcomes on an individual and community level. Justify why this might be important when planning programs.

multiple regression analysis 3

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to apply multiple regression concepts, interpret multiple regression analysis models, and justify business predictions based upon the analysis.

For this assignment, you will use the “Strength” dataset. You will use SPSS to analyze the dataset and address the questions presented. Findings should be presented in a Word document along with the SPSS outputs.

The compressive strength (Y) of concrete is influenced by the mixing proportions and by the time that it is allowed to cure, although the exact relationship between the strength and the components is unknown. The provided data includes the results of n = 1030 concrete strength experiments that include the following:

  1. Strength (in MPa): The compressive strength of the concrete.
  2. Age (in days): The number of days the concrete was allowed to cured.
  3. Coarse_Aggregate (in kg/m3): The proportion of coarse aggregate in the mix.
  4. Fine_Aggregate (in kg/m3): The proportion of fine aggregate in the mix.
  5. Cement (in kg/m3): The proportion of cement in the mix.
  6. Slag (in kg/m3): The proportion of furnace slag in the mix.
  7. Superplasticizer (in kg/m3): The proportion of plasticizer in the mix.
  8. Water (in kg/m3): The proportion of water in the mix.
  9. Ash (in kg/m3): The proportion of fly ash in the mix.

Part 1:

Derive various transformations of compressive strength to determine which transformation, if any, results in a variable that most closely mimics a normal distribution. To do this, plot Q-Q plots after each transformation listed below, and decide which one should be used to build a multiple linear model. Explain your answer and provide the SPSS output as an illustration.

  1. Strength (no transformation)
  2. Square root of Strength
  3. Squared Strength
  4. (Natural) Log of Strength
  5. Reciprocal of Strength

Part 2:

Based on the transformation selected in Part 1, build a multiple linear regression model with all eight predictors.

  1. Use t-tests to determine if any of the predictors significantly affect the compressive strength of concrete. Explain why each variable should or should not be included in the model. Assume α = 0.05. Show the appropriate model results to explain your answer.
  2. If any predictors from question 1 are found to be not significant, remove them and re-run the model to create a reduced model (RM). Are all the remaining variables still statistically significant? Show the appropriate model results to explain your answer.
  3. Based on the RM, should there be concern about multicollinearity among the predictors selected? Show the appropriate model results to explain your answer.
  4. After fitting the RM, derive the residual plot (standardized residuals vs. standardized predicted values) and normal probability plot. Interpret each plot.
  5. What is the coefficient of determination, R2, of the RM? How would you interpret the R2?
  6. Based on the RM, what would be the new estimated compressive strength that is currently 50 MPa, after a 10-day increase in curing time? Assume all other predictors are held constant.
  7. How would you interpret the intercept (constant) in the RM? Does the interpretation make sense given the data you used to build the RM?

Part 3:

Given the following components and aging time below, what is the estimated compressive strength based on the RM?

  1. Age: 50 days
  2. Coarse_Aggregate: 900 kg/m3
  3. Fine_Aggregate: 600 kg/m3
  4. Cement: 300 kg/m3
  5. Slag: 200 kg/m3
  6. Superplasticizer: 7 kg/m3
  7. Water: 190 kg/m3
  8. Ash: 70 kg/m3

Part 4:

What is a 95% confidence interval of the estimate in Part 3? How would you interpret the 95% confidence interval? (Hint: Use the SPSS scoring wizard to address this question.)

Peer replies research paper political topics federal budgeting

/in /by

Peer replies should be a minimum of 160 words, include at least 1 direct question and add value to the discussion

STUDENT 1: Sparks

What is the topic of your end-of-course research paper? What are some of the major budgetary issues that you will address relating to the defense project you are researching?

The topic of my end of course research paper looks at the learning objective for week 1, which was the political nature of the budget process. I have always found that topic to be one of the most interesting political topics within our nation. Understanding how the government uses my tax dollars was one of the draws for me to the contracts field. I am going to be looking at the pros and cons of the political nature in the budget process over the past 30 years. I will look at how all the presidents back until Reagan had influence on the process, and the outcomes that came with them, such as new legislation. The overarching question of my paper is essentially, whether or not the political nature of the process hurts the American citizen, or if it is in their best interest.

Explain the practice of “full funding” as it applies to Congressional funding for defense programs. What are some of the problems associated with this type of funding versus annual appropriations?

Full funding is essentially the “ideal-world” type funding method for defense programs. It is exactly how it sounds, where the funds needed for the program are not just obligated, but are actually funded in whole. This is typically what is desired for programs for all parties so that there is more certainty that the program will be able to move forward. The issues that come with this is that when you fully fund a program up front, there is less flexibility on the governments end, for example it comes to adjusting for unforeseen circumstances.

STUDENT 2: Schweitzer

The topic of my end of course research paper is providing an in-depth explanation of the federal budgeting process through time and its evolution.It will describe the impacts of war on the national deficit.Additionally, it will address the actions taken to remedy the deficits driven by war and how they resulted in permanent budgetary changes.The evolution of the budget allows me to address the key issues with spending we have had over time, and the solutions used in the past which may be helpful to address the current deficit.

Full funding is when all of the money to pay for a defense program is appropriated to the one fiscal year on the front end.This can cause an issue when funding amounts are not sufficient to support a program to completion.The cost requirements may change as a result of inflation or unexpected issues.An example of an unexpected program change can be seen in the F-35 program.When the Chinese mimicked the F-35, a large program overhaul occurred.If this program had been fully funded, in the year the contract was procured, then the program would have exhausted all funds before receiving program benefit.The text provides examples of years when inflation occurred outside of projected tolerances.Some years this left the DOD underfunded.When this occurred, the DOD had to forgo certain programs which had been accounted for in the budget.In years of lower than expected inflation it resulted in a defense surplus.

Although full funding does have its issues, it can also be beneficial.If an agency is at the end of a fiscal year and has funds to obligate, then it could obligate the excess funds to support a contract in the appropriated year.Full funding is also tied into the Bona Fide needs rule regarding severable and non-severable services.Below are a few links where this rule and explanation can be found.
