Learning curve in psychology and economics The first person to describe the learning curve was Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885. He found that the time required to memorize a nonsense word increased sharply as the number of syllables increased.[1] Psychologist‚ Arthur Bills gave a more detailed description of learning curves in 1934. He also discussed the properties of different types of learning curves‚ such as negative acceleration‚ positive acceleration‚ plateaus‚ and ogive curves.[2] In 1936‚ Theodore

The tides would be all out of whack. Oceanic animals could go extinct‚ even humans could go extinct. Days would be way shorter and if you took the moon we could either have extreme or no season. Is that what you really want. As mentioned in the paragraph above I mentioned that it could ruin marine life‚ that was no joke. The animals could become homeless because the tide would retract so any animal that lives close to shore would die. Also some animals depend on the movement of the tide to live

Introduction in Graph Theory (BASIC CONCEPTS) BASIC CONCEPTS We used decision trees in Unit DT and used them to study decision making. However‚ we did not look at their structure as trees. In fact‚ we didn’t even define a tree precisely. What is a tree? It is a particular type of graph‚ which brings us to the subject of this unit. What is a Graph? There are various types of graphs‚ each with its own definition. Unfortunately‚ some people apply the term “graph” rather loosely‚ so

Learning Curve Primer The concept of a Learning Curve is motivated by the observation (in many diverse production environments) that‚ each time the cumulative production doubles‚ the hours required to produce the most recent unit decreases by approximately the same percentage. For example‚ for an 80% learning curve: If cumulative production doubles from 50 to 100‚ then the hours required to produce the 100th unit is 80% of that for the 50th unit. The learning curve formula can be expressed

This also enables them to identify their strengths and how they will optimize them.

or not there is a factual causal connection between the injuries inflicted upon X during the fight and the eventual loss of X’s business‚ we need to look at the method of the conditio sine qua non theory and determine if there was actually a factual causal nexus. According to Van der Merwe and Olivier‚ conditio sine qua non theory is when an act is the cause of a result if the act cannot be thought away without the result also disappearing. This means that for an act to be the cause of a result‚ the

THE PHILLIPS CURVE The short-run relationship between inflation and unemployment is often called the Phillips curve. In 1958‚ economist A. W. Phillips published an article in the British journal Economica that would make him famous. The article was titled “The Relationship between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wages in the United Kingdom‚ 1861–1957.” In it‚ Phillips showed a negative correlation between the rate of unemployment and the rate of inflation. That is‚ Phillips showed

Limitations of the Lorenz Curve The Lorenz Curve illustrates the degree of equality (or inequality) of distribution of income in an economy. It plots the cumulative percentage of income received by cumulative shares of the population and includes a straight line to illustrate perfect income equality. Thus‚ the closer the Lorenz curve is to the straight line‚ the greater the equality in income distribution‚ while‚ the further away it is from the straight line‚ the more unequal the distribution
