A1 = humidity A2 = wind [9+, 5-] [9+, 5-] normal high weak strong [6+, 1-] [3+, 4-] [6+, 2-] [3+, 3-] 26 Entropy エントロピー • Entropy characterizes the impurity (purity) of an arbitrary collection of objects (データ集合の純度の指標). q S is the collection of positive and negative objects(全体) q � is the proportion of positive objects in S (該当データの比率) q � is the proportion of negative objects in S (非該当データの比率) q In the play-tennis example, these numbers are 14, 9/14 and 5/14, respectively (テニスデータでは、それぞれ14,9/14, 5/14) • Entropy is defined as follows エントロピーの定義式 ������� � = −� ���.� − � ���.� 27 Entropy The entropy function relative to a Boolean classification, as the proportion of � positive objects varies between 0 and 1.

  • United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
    SELECTION STANDARDS United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance Program The U.S. Olympic Committee supports Paralympic-eligible military veterans in their efforts to represent the USA at the Paralympic Games and other international sport competitions. Veterans who demonstrate exceptional sport skills and the commitment necessary to pursue elite-level competition are given guidance on securing the training, support, and coaching needed to qualify for Team USA and achieve their Paralympic dreams. Through a partnership between the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the USOC, the VA National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events Office provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans of the Armed Forces training in a Paralympic sport, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. § 322(d) and section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program the VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum VA Monthly Assistance Allowance (VMAA) Standard in his/her respective sport and sport class at a recognized competition. Athletes must have established training and competition plans and are responsible for turning in monthly and/or quarterly forms and reports in order to continue receiving the monthly assistance allowance. Additionally, an athlete must be U.S. citizen OR permanent resident to be eligible. Lastly, in order to be eligible for the VMAA athletes must undergo either national or international classification evaluation (and be found Paralympic sport eligible) within six months of being placed on the allowance pay list.

  • The Intentions of International Tourists to Attend the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games: a Study of the Image of Rio De Janeiro and Brazil
    Ann Appl Sport Sci 8(3): e798, 2020. http://www.aassjournal.com; e-ISSN: 2322–4479; p-ISSN: 2476–4981. 10.29252/aassjournal.798 ORIGINAL ARTICLE The Intentions of International Tourists to Attend the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games: A Study of the Image of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil Leonardo Jose Mataruna-Dos-Santos* College of Business Administration, American University in the Emirates, Dubai, UAE. Submitted 22 September 2019; Accepted in final form 27 February 2020. ABSTRACT Background. This paper investigates how hosting a mega sports event such as the 2016 Rio Games – Olympic and Paralympic influence the Rio de Janeiro and Brazil image’ like popular destinations among tourists. Objectives. The following hypotheses guided our research to identify the more positive image of Brazil as a tourism destination. Methods. A mixed research design combining both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. Participants were recruited at the Technische Universität München and in the city center of Munich, Germany. The two dimensions (cognitive and affective) of the tourism destination image were considered to elaborate a questionnaire survey, which mixes both qualitative and quantitative methods. Results. The significant factors influencing the intentions of a person to attend the Games in Brazil are the positive portrayed image of the country and their sport interest. According to the multiple regression conducted, the only variables, which have influenced people’s intention to go to Brazil for the Olympics, were the image of the country as a tourism destination (β = 0.404, p < 0.05) and sports interests (β = 0.259, p < 0.05).

  • (VA) Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance for Disabled Veterans
    Revised May 23, 2019 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance for Disabled Veterans Training in Paralympic and Olympic Sports Program (VMAA) In partnership with the United States Olympic Committee and other Olympic and Paralympic entities within the United States, VA supports eligible service and non-service-connected military Veterans in their efforts to represent the USA at the Paralympic Games, Olympic Games and other international sport competitions. The VA Office of National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans training in Paralympic sports, as well as certain disabled Veterans selected for or competing with the national Olympic Team, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. 322(d) and Section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program, VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with either a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum military standards or higher (i.e. Emerging Athlete or National Team) in his or her respective Paralympic sport at a recognized competition. In addition to making the VMAA standard, an athlete must also be nationally or internationally classified by his or her respective Paralympic sport federation as eligible for Paralympic competition. VA will also pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected disability rated 30 percent or greater by VA who is selected for a national Olympic Team for any month in which the Veteran is competing in any event sanctioned by the National Governing Bodies of the Olympic Sport in the United State, in accordance with P.L.

  • Social Scientists' Satisfaction with Data Reuse
    Ixchel M. Faniel OCLC Research Adam Kriesberg University of Michigan Elizabeth Yakel University of Michigan Social Scientists’ Satisfaction with Data Reuse Note: This is a preprint of an article accepted for publication in Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology copyright © 2015. Abstract: Much of the recent research on digital data repositories has focused on assessing either the trustworthiness of the repository or quantifying the frequency of data reuse. Satisfaction with the data reuse experience, however, has not been widely studied. Drawing from the information systems and information science literatures, we develop a model to examine the relationship between data quality and data reusers’ satisfaction. Based on a survey of 1,480 journal article authors who cited Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) data in published papers from 2008 – 2012, we found several data quality attributes - completeness, accessibility ease of operation, and credibility – had significant positive associations with data reusers’ satisfaction. There was also a significant positive relationship between documentation quality and data reusers’ satisfaction. © 2015 OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. 6565 Kilgour Place Dublin, Ohio 43017-3395 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Suggested citation: Faniel, I.
