The aim of this study was to compare two methods of estimating leaf area (leaf area meter LI-COR 3100 and ImageJ software) in oats. Renascem black oats and UTF Iguaçu white oats cultivars were evaluated. All the leaves of one plant per plot, with six repetitions, were evaluated every seven days to obtain five assessments for each cultivar. The leaves were identified and fixed on a white A4 sheet of paper with an indication of a known area (45 cm²), photographed and evaluated using a leaf area meter (LI-3100 - LI-COR). Leaf area was then estimated using ImageJ software. Estimates were obtained for standard deviation and coefficient of variation, and a simple linear regression equation was estimated based on the two estimation methods. Mean variances were tested using the ‘F’-test and the means compared by the ‘t’-test. There was no difference between the leaf areas found by both methods. In addition, they were highly correlated, and variances were homogeneous. We concluded that ImageJ software can be used instead of the leaf area meter on the two oat cultivars evaluated.

The downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is an important melon disease in Northeast Brazil. Considering the lack of standard methods for its assessment, a diagrammatic scale was developed with 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 82, and 96% of affected leaf area. The scale was then checked for its accuracy, precision, and reproducibility in estimating downy mildew severity. The diagrammatic scale was validated by eight disease raters; using 50 leaves with different severity levels, previously measured using the software Assess®. Two evaluations were performed on the same set of leaves, but in a different sequence order, by the same raters, within a 15-day interval. The accuracy and precision of each rater was determined by simple linear regression between the actual and the estimated severity. The scale provided good levels of accuracy (means of 87.5%) and excellent levels of precision (means of 94%), with absolute errors concentrated around 10%. Raters showed great repeatability (means of 94%) and reproducibility (>90% in 90.3% of cases) of estimates. Therefore, we could conclude that the diagrammatic scale presented here was suitable for evaluating downy mildew severity in melon.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of compensation on employee performance. The method used is a quantitative research method with the number of samples used is 54 respondents. The sampling technique was done by random sampling. The results of the study: The correlation coefficient (rxy) was 0.46. This shows that there is a moderate relationship between the variables of Compensation and Employee Performance at Kreasindo Jaya Abadi; Compensation variable contributes to Employee Performance variable by 21.16% and the remaining 78.84% is contributed by other variables; We get a simple linear regression equation Y = 18.30 + 0.5082X. The results of the hypothesis analysis show the value of t count > t table (3.7353 > 1.6747), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. So, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence between the Compensation variable and the Employee Performance variable.

AbstractCausal inference with observational data frequently requires researchers to estimate treatment effects conditional on a set of observed covariates, hoping that they remove or at least reduce the confounding bias. Using a simple linear (regression) setting with two confounders – one observed (X), the other unobserved (U) – we demonstrate that conditioning on the observed confounder X does not necessarily imply that the confounding bias decreases, even if X is highly correlated with U. That is, adjusting for X may increase instead of reduce the omitted variable bias (OVB). Two phenomena can cause an increasing OVB: (i) bias amplification and (ii) cancellation of offsetting biases. Bias amplification occurs because conditioning on X amplifies any remaining bias due to the omitted confounder U. Cancellation of offsetting biases is an issue whenever X and U induce biases in opposite directions such that they perfectly or partially offset each other, in which case adjusting for X inadvertently cancels the bias-offsetting effect. In this article we discuss the conditions under which adjusting for X increases OVB, and demonstrate that conditioning on X increases the imbalance in U, which turns U into an even stronger confounder. We also show that conditioning on an unreliably measured confounder can remove more bias than the corresponding reliable measure. Practical implications for causal inference will be discussed.

The aim of this paper is to establish a new method for inferring standard values of snow load in small sample situations. Due to the incomplete meteorological data in some areas, it is often necessary to infer the standard values of snow load in the conditions of small samples in engineering, but the point estimation methods of classical statistics adopted till now do not take into account the influences of statistical uncertainty, and the inference results are always aggressive. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, according to the basic principle of optimal linear unbiased estimation and invariant estimation of the minimum type I distribution parameters and the tantile, using the least square method, the linear regression estimation methods for inferring standard values of snow load in small sample situations are proposed, which can take into account two cases such as parameter-free and known coefficient of variation, and the predicted formulas of snow load standard values are given, respectively. Through numerical integration and Monte Carlo numerical simulation, the numerical table of correlation coefficients is established, which is more convenient for the direct application of inferential formulas. According to the results of theoretical analysis and examples, when using the indirect point estimation methods to infer the standard values of snow load in the conditions of small samples, the inference results are always small. The linear regression estimation method is suitable for inferring standard values of snow load in the conditions of small samples, which can give more reasonable results. When using the linear regression estimation to infer standard values of snow load in practical application, even if the coefficient of variation is unknown, it can set the upper limit value of the coefficient of variation according to the experience; meanwhile, according to the parameter-free and known coefficient of variation, the estimation is carried out, respectively, and the smaller value of the two is taken as the final estimate. The method can be extended to the statistical inference of variable load standard values such as wind load and floor load.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an influence of endorser credibility on purchasing decisions of NEO Coffee products and how much influence is given. The theory used to measure the effect of endorser credibility (independent variable) is the TEARS Model Theory proposed by Shimp (2014) and for purchasing decisions of NEO Coffee products (dependent variable) using Kotler and Keller's (2009) theory. The method applied is a quantitative method with descriptive analysis techniques and explanatory techniques that use simple linear regression parametric statistical analysis tools. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to 70 respondents of the 2019 Palembang NCTzen Community Consumers who consumed NEO Coffee Products with a purposive sampling technique. The findings from the analysis of the data in this study were obtained through hypothesis testing using the ???? test that itungcount greater than abeltable where itungcount 8.404> abeltable 1.994, which means that there is an influence of endorser credibility on purchasing decisions of NEO Coffee products, and the effect exerted at 50.9 % and the rest are influenced by other factors. The linear regression equation obtained is ????̂ = 8.269 + 0.879 ???? which means that each addition of one endorser credibility value will give an increase of 0.879 to the decision of purchasing NEO Coffee products among 2019 NCTzen Palembang community members who consume NEO Coffee products.
