“Moving in Data”: The Open Data Gaze as a form of Municipal Statecraft in the Entrepreneurial City
DownloadFall 2022
Globally speaking, data-driven urbanism is on the rise. As data becomes more readily available and important in contemporary economies, municipal governments are adopting new ways of managing and planning cities. By transforming themselves via urban data, cities can position themselves to be...

20Cr-32Ni-1Nb stainless steel alloys are commonly used in hydrogen reformer manifolds for transporting hot hydrogen by-products at 750-950 celcius. After long periods of exposure, embrittling secondary carbides and intermetallic phases can precipitate at the grain boundaries which can drastically...

Residual stresses can have a significant impact on the stability of structural members. In the case of I-section beam elements, such stresses can impact lateral--torsional buckling (LTB) capacity, particularly in the inelastic range. I-sections are typically fabricated by either rolling as a...

Survival data is mostly analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model to identify factors associated with survival time of patients. However recently random survival forest (RSF), a non-parametric method for ensemble estimation constructed by bagging of classification trees for survival data, is...

It has become common for steel fabricators to find torsional loads included in the design documents of many industrial steel structures. These loads arise in wide-flange beam-to-column moment connections when the beam is subject to weak axis bending, which in turn, is transferred to the column as...

Dollars or Cents: Impacts of Rescaling Data on a Mixed Logit Model with Normally and Lognormally Distributed Coefficients
Download2004
It is a common practice to rescale data to assist the model estimation process. This paper describes a case where care is called upon when interpreting the results after rescaling. The case is shown as associated with the lognormally distributed coefficient in a mixed logit model. Implications of...
