Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment and Validation of a Measure of Relational Leadership: Implications for Leadership Theory and PoliciesJames CarifioProblem statement: This study reports the development and validation of the Relational Leadership Questionnaire (RLQ). The consensus attributes of relational leadership are that the relational leader is caring, empowering, ethical, inclusive and has vision. These characteristics also reflect the newest theory and view of leadership in the psychological literature as well. Approach: For each of these 5 attributes, 10 Likert … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2010 · 40,440 accessesView PDFCite

SelvamThis research article demonstrates the application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in the scale development process of measuring the construct Service Loyalty (SERVLOYAL). The conceptualization of SERVLOYAL is presented, the dimensions forming the SERVLOYAL construct are figured out. The nitty-gritty of CFA is discussed. And the results of CFA analysis for SERVLOYAL scale developed are found to be reliable. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConstructing Gibbs Measure in a Rigorous WayFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovEquilibrium statistical mechanics studies mathematical models for physical systems with many particles interacting with an external force and with one another. In this paper we describe an interaction model that generalizes several of these models in one model. An infinite model is constructed as the limiting case of finite interaction models, that is as a thermodynamic limit. The key point … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 29 Oct 2019 · 6,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Better Approach to Ontology Integration using Clustering Through Global Similarity MeasureAshwin Makwana, Amit GanatraKnowledge representation is a crucial area of work in the intelligent system, especially in query answering system development. Ontology is used to represent shared knowledge of a particular domain for query answering system. Domain-specific ontology can be designed and developed by many groups and researchers, because of which there is heterogeneity in the knowledgebase. Ontology integration or merging is necessary … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 25 Jun 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAN INFORMATION-THEORETIC IMAGE QUALITY MEASURE: COMPARISON WITH STATISTICAL SIMILARITYAsmhan Flieh Hassan, Dong Cai-lin, Zahir M. HussainWe present an information-theoretic approach for structural similarity for assessing gray scale image quality. The structural similarity measure SSIM, proposed in 2004, has been successflly used and verfied. SSIM is based on statistical similarity between the two images. However, SSIM can produce confusing results in some cases where it may give a non-trivial amount of similarity for two different images. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 17 Dec 2014 · 8,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNOVEL IMAGE-DEPENDENT QUALITY ASSESSMENT MEASURESZahir M. Hussain, Asaad Noori HashimThe image is a 2D signal whose pixels are highly correlated in a 2D manner. Hence, using pixel by pixel error what we called previously Mean-Square Error, (MSE) is not an efficient way to compare two similar images (e.g., an original image and a compressed version of it). Due to this correlation, image comparison needs a correlative quality measure. It … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 27 Feb 2014 · 7,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign Dynamic Coupling Measurement of Distributed Object Oriented Software Using Trace EventsS. Babu, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using static … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasure of Departure from Average Cumulative Symmetry for Square Contingency Tables with Ordered CategoriesKouta Miyazawa, Sadao Tomizawa, Kouji TahataProblem statement: For square contingency tables with ordered categories, we are interested in considering a structure of weak symmetry when Bowker's symmetry model does not hold and in measuring the degree of departure from weak symmetry. Approach: The present study considered the average cumulative symmetry model that has a weaker restriction than the structure of symmetry. It also gave a … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasure for No Three-Factor Interaction Model in Three-Way Contingency TablesKouji Yamamoto, Kyoji Hori, Sadao TomizawaProblem statement: For 2×2×K contingency tables, the measure is considered to represent the degree of departure from a log-linear model of No Three-Factor Interaction (NOTFI). We are interested in considering a similar measure for general I×J×K contingency tables. Approach: The present study proposed a measure to represent the degree of departure from the NOTFI model for I×J×K contingency tables.

Aggarwal, Yogesh SinghFor large software systems, testing phase seems to have profound effect on the overall acceptability and quality of the final product. The success of this activity can be judged by measuring the testability of the software. A good measure for testability can better manage the testing effort and time.
