  • Explanatory Report
    Explanatory Report Author: Alexander Picolin, IPC Database Development Manager Date: 13/03/2014 Topic: IPC Athletics Raza Point Score System – Review 2014 Historical consideration The Raza point score table has been launched in March 2010 for IPC Athletics combined field events that allows converting class dependent performances into points for direct comparison. The previous system had only considered the best performance of the last Paralympic Games (1st PG) and best two performances World Championships (1st and 2nd WCH) as well as the actual World Record (WR). Following formula applied: WR + 1st PG + 1st WCH + 2nd WCH = 1000 points ref 4 푥̅ ∝ Performance Points = 1000 ref ⇒ ∙ 푥̅ Outstanding world record performances or underperformed events at world championships had a major effect on this reference mark ref so that some classes got (dis)advantages. In less populated classes which were not offered on the events programme of the last edition of the 푥̅ Paralympic Games or world championships, even less values were used to determine ref , in a few cases this reference value just equalled the actual world record performance. 푥̅ International Paralympic Committee Adenauerallee 212-214 Tel. +49 228 2097-200 www.paralympic.org 53113 Bonn, Germany Fax +49 228 2097-209 [email protected] Raza point score system As it had been outlined, the previous model was inappropriate so that an IPC Athletics working group was reviewing various recommendations brought in by the group members. That model being the most recommendable across the proposals was designed by Masoom Raza from UK Athletics and is based on the following statistical analysis1 o Data from Paralympic Games and World Championships from 2000 and onwards has been used as the basic platform.

    BIRMINGHAM 2022 COMMONWEALTH GAMES (28 July - 8 August 2022) NOMINATION CRITERIA Note: Unless specified, when referencing the word ‘athlete/s’, this applies to both able-bodied and Para-athletes. 1. NOMINATION/SELECTION PHILOSOPHY 1.1 The New Zealand Olympic Committee’s (“NZOC”) Selection Policy - Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games ("Selection Policy”) sets out the criteria that applies for the selection of athletes by the NZOC to compete at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games (“2022 CG”). 1.2 This Nomination Criteria is issued by the Board of Athletics New Zealand (“Athletics NZ Board”) and sets out the basis on which Athletics New Zealand’s (“Athletics NZ”) Nomination Panel will consider athletes for nomination to the NZOC Selection Panel to be considered for selection in the team to compete at the 2022 CG. 1.3 In the event there is any inconsistency between this Nomination Criteria and the NZOC Selection Policy, the NZOC Selection Policy shall prevail. This Nomination Criteria shall take effect from 24 August 2021. 1.4 The 2022 CG is an Athletics NZ “Black” Singlet competition (i.e. an Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, senior WA/WPA Track & Field World Championships or a Commonwealth Games). 1.5 Quota allocation: The maximum number of able-bodied athletes that Athletics NZ can initially nominate to attend the 2022 CG events will be limited to the number of quota places allocated to Athletics NZ by the NZOC. The initial number of able-bodied quota places allocated to Athletics NZ is 18. Athletes selected for Relay teams must be included in this figure. a) For able bodied athletes, quota places are allocated to Athletics NZ, not to any individual athlete or relay team.

  • Student's Dropout Risk Assessment in Undergraduate Course At
    Student’s Dropout Risk Assessment in Undergraduate Course at Residential University Sweta Rai Banasthali Univeristy 1 | P a g e ABSTRACT Student dropout prediction is an indispensable for numerous intelligent systems to measure the education system and success rate of any university as well as throughout the university in the world. Therefore, it becomes essential to develop efficient methods for prediction of the students at risk of dropping out, enabling the adoption of proactive process to minimize the situation. Thus, this research work propose a prototype machine learning tool which can automatically recognize whether the student will continue their study or drop their study using classification technique based on decision tree and extract hidden information from large data about what factors are responsible for dropout student. Further the contribution of factors responsible for dropout risk was studied using discriminant analysis and to extract interesting correlations, frequent patterns, associations or casual structures among significant datasets, Association rule mining was applied. In this study, the descriptive statistics analysis was carried out to measure the quality of data using SPSS 20.0 statistical software and application of decision tree and association rule were carried out by using WEKA data mining tool. Based on the application of association rule, the highest support value 0.68 was recorded for dropout mainly because of the personal problem. On the other hand ID3 decision tree algorithm was found best classifier with 98% accuracy whereas, discriminant function analysis correctly classified 99.1% of original grouped cases and 98.6% of cross-validated grouped cases. The main reason recorded for dropout of students at this residential university were personal factor ( illness & homesickness), Educational factors (learning problems & difficult courses, change of Institution with present goal and low placement rate) and institutional factors (campus environment, too many rules in hostel life and poor entertainment facilities).

    London 2012 Explanatory Guide Athletics About the Explanatory Guides The Explanatory Guides offer a detailed introduction to each sport at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, as well as providing information on a number of other key topics that may be of interest and importance to teams. Each guide is divided into several sections: – A general introduction to London and to the Games. – Sport-specific information on subjects such as the competition format and schedule, training and the qualification criteria. – General information covering accreditation, ticketing, accommodation, medical services and transport. – A directory, which contains contact details, maps and a daily competition schedule for all sports. All information contained in this Explanatory Guide was correct at the time of publication in August 2011. However, please note that these details may change between now and the Games. NPCs are advised to check the IPC website (www.paralympic.org) and LOCOG’s The Exchange (https://theexchange.london2012.com) for important updates on topics such as the qualification criteria and the competition schedule. Detailed Team Leaders’ Guides, covering Games-time plans for every Paralympic sport, will be sent to NPCs in July 2012. Introduction On behalf of LOCOG, I’m delighted to introduce this Explanatory Guide for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. This is the first time that the Explanatory Guides for a summer Games have been published and distributed in electronic-only form, a policy that supports our desire to stage the most sustainable Paralympic Games yet. LOCOG is putting sport at the heart of the London 2012 Games.
