Select one:
a.
inexplicable variation
b.
regular variation
c.
random variation
d.
seasonal variation
e.
irregular variation
3) The major variable is the central idea of the entire literature. Its sub-variables help specify which particular aspect of the major variable is being referred to. The indicators, on the other hand, are specific information that describes the sub-variables.
Examples:
Major variable: Study habits
Sub-variable: Time required for studying, methods of studying, and place for studying
Indicators: Employing patterned time intervals for effective studying: using mnemonics in memorizing the terms; and studying in one's ideal environment
Instructions: Identify the major variables, sub-variables, and indicators of the examples of literature review.

Choose all that apply. Including propensity score estimates as a predictor in a regression model on outcomes can help resolve imbalance between treatment and control groups for covariates used in the propensity score model Standard diagnostic tools for binary prediction or classification models (e.g. logistic regression or classification trees) are similarly used in evaluating propensity score estimates When conditional ignorability holds given the observed covariates, then the treatment assignment will also be ignorable conditioned on the propensity scores Overfitting in propensity score estimation can achieve more efficient estimates of treatment effects than using propensity score estimates that are closer to the true propensities Unlike full matching, subclassification, and weighting methods, nearest neighbor matching does not necessarily use all…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE regarding the two smoothing constants of the Forecast Including Trend (FIT) model?
