Do So

With many states increasingly adopting Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) to rate their early childhood education (ECE) and child care programs, researchers question the use of these systems. Specifically, they are trying to understand the value of information provided by QRIS ratings and the implications QRIS ratings have on the quality of and access to ECE and child care programs for families. In this study, we attempt to understand the value of QRIS ratings when they are provided for families at the household level. To do so we take a close look at the relationship between availability of programs rated by the Quality Improvement and Rating System (QIRS) in Arizona and demographics of the communities they serve, and compare the utilization of the programs in communities with varying demographic compositions. While we find that more high-quality ECE and child care programs are available for children that are Hispanic, Black, and eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, we also find that families underutilized those programs. We argue that this underutilization might be due to a variety of barriers that the families are experiencing and believe that efforts should be directed to work with families and assist them in understanding their enrollment options.

The Relationship

The research on information quantization is important in the field of information theory. As a result, based on the quantum theory, the information was quantified from the information receiving aspect in this report. First of all, several concepts were presented, such as the InfoBar, the Amount of Information and the Power of Information as well as the algorithm of the Power of Information. Then, according to the relationship between the InfoBar and the amount of Information, the wave equation was decided based on the receiving information, meanwhile, the equation of wave function was defined as well. Finally, via the numerical simulation, the received model results as well as the sample result were basically matched. Thus, the validity of the model can be proved.

It is substantiated that the core of indicators and criteria for evaluating the economic efficiency of the function of economic and analytical information processing are the following main features that distinguish it from other information sets of functionally developed systems of strategic management of industrial enterprises and research and production associations: breadth of information used (planning and regulatory information, accounting and reporting subsystem information, background and technological information, etc. are used in the process of complex economic analysis and evaluation); a large amount of information stored (the amount of information that ensures the comprehensiveness of the complex economic analysis and evaluation, increases due to the fact that the complex economic analysis and evaluation of the activities of industrial enterprises and scientific and industrial associations is carried out in different time intervals, and due to the fact that the accumulation of indicators and criteria for evaluating economic efficiency in the dynamic series is necessary, while maintaining the relationship between indicators and criteria economic efficiency assessment pitches that relate to different time periods); the complexity of the relationship between the baseline indicators and the criteria for evaluating cost-effectiveness (the structure of information in the core of indicators and criteria for evaluating cost-effectiveness of a function is determined by a system of management objects, mediated by a system of indicators and criteria for evaluating cost-effectiveness, on the one hand, and the methodology of complex economic analysis and estimates – on the other hand, therefore, minimizing basic information implies the existence of complex links between indicators and criteria for evaluating cost-effectiveness); the multidimensionality of the processing of stored information (economic and analytical information obtained as a result of the processing of initial indicators and criteria for evaluating economic efficiency, must meet the requirements of decision-making in the operational management of production, in the development of current, retrospective and prospective plans, etc.). It is proved that the specified features of the kernel of general and intermediate result indicators and criteria of estimation of function efficiency make and corresponding requirements to the choice of system for coordinating it and more.

Abstract This piece of work investigates the relation between characters in a play based on turntaking dialogues. As the dialogues are related to each other in the play, numbers of turn-taking are significant of the characters’ relationship and the utterances give indication about the information content of the interaction. In this Manipuri radio play, the sequence of turns taken by the characters convey different amount of information with different functions. Numbers of dialogues oscillate significantly with a period of 2 scenes during the play. The degree of oscillation present in turn-taking dialogues carries significant information functions. The nature of the relationship between the characters involved and the theme of the play may be characterised by calculations on turn-taking dialogues.

The Relationship

The experiment was designed to examine the effects on subjective uncertainty of variations in response uncertainty and amount of information and to explore the relationship between two indices of subjective uncertainty, confidence in decision and decision time. 18 Ss were exposed to a 4-factor repeated measures design involving 6 levels of response uncertainty, 2 levels of ‘unknown information’, 2 levels of ‘known information’, and 2 orders of problem presentation. Confidence in decision was significantly affected by response uncertainty, ‘unknown information’, ‘known information’, and the interaction of the 2 information conditions. Decision time was significantly affected by response uncertainty and ‘known information.’

The Relationship

Congestion and its uncertainty are big factors affecting customers’ decision to join a queue or balk. In a queueing system, congestion itself is resulted from the aggregate joining behavior of other customers. Therefore, the property of the whole group of arriving customers affects the equilibrium behavior of the queue. In this paper, we assume each individual customer has a utility function which includes a basic cost function, common to all customers, and a customer-specific weight measuring sensitivity to delay. We investigate the impacts on the average customer utility and the throughput of the queueing system of different cost functions and weight distributions. Specifically, we compare systems where these parameters are related by various stochastic orders, under different information scenarios. We also explore the relationship between customer characteristics and the value of information.

The Relationship

It is well-known that conditional heteroskedasticity thickens the tails of the unconditional distribution of an error term relative to its conditional distribution. To what extent do imperfect forecasts of the conditional variance undo this tail thickening? This note considers the effect of changing the quality of the information embodied in a forecast of a conditional variance. Adding noise of a certain form thickens the tails of the normalized errors, but decreasing the amount of information used in the forecast may or may not thicken the tails. We also explore the relation between tail thickness and various notions of “optimal” volatility forecasts. The relationship is surprisingly complicated.

The Relationship

This work clarifies the relationship between network circuit (topology) and behavior (information transmission and synchronization) in active networks, e.g. neural networks. As an application, we show how to determine a network topology that is optimal for information transmission. By optimal, we mean that the network is able to transmit a large amount of information, it possesses a large number of communication channels, and it is robust under large variations of the network coupling configuration. This theoretical approach is general and does not depend on the particular dynamic of the elements forming the network, since the network topology can be determined by finding a Laplacian matrix (the matrix that describes the connections and the coupling strengths among the elements) whose eigenvalues satisfy some special conditions. To illustrate our ideas and theoretical approaches, we use neural networks of electrically connected chaotic Hindmarsh–Rose neurons.
