Statistical Analysis of Police Arrest Decisions What are the central variables that Smith and Visher studied? Smith and Visher (1981) analyzed a series of independent variables that were found by previous studies to influence dependent variable 'likelihood of being arrested'. Although a Chi square test revealed several factors to be significantly associated with likelihood of being arrested (Table 1), the aim of their research was to reveal the relative contributions of the

Chicago Crime Policy and Murder Rates Chicago Homicide Rates Chicago garnered the distinction of being the murder capital of America in 2012, with 506 of its citizens meeting a violent end (Connor, 2013). The murder rate for January 2013 seemed to predict another record year, but March figures brought a moment of respite for the beleaguered city. From a historical perspective however, the 2012 murder rate in Chicago was not too far

Moreover, A-CAT had two medium-sized manufacturing units in a small town of Gondia located at the remote district in Vidarbha, a less develop area in India.

Here, the dependent variable is identified as the proclivity toward suicide. The researchers identify four independent variables due for measurement. These are identified as psychological distress, hopelessness, drug abuse, and relationship discord. (Kaslow et al., p. 13) The study collected data using interviewing techniques that would occur within a 24 to 72 window of the subject's hospital admission. Findings would be measured in the categories of Psychological Risk Factor Variables

The four possible points which could be the optimal solution are labeled from one to four. The solutions to these are then given in Table 1, along with the profits which would result from these combinations. The values of each of these points were calculated by solving the simultaneous equations where the lines crossed. It can be seen from Table 1 that the maximum profit would be reached by

Another statistical measure that should be implemented is the use of statistical techniques to measure the side effects of certain drugs and medications given to patients. Possibly one of the most important statistical aspects that should be applied to modern nursing is the creation of clinical pathways in hospitals. The development of clinical pathways are related to "…attempts to reduce hospital utilization" and "cost-containment initiatives" ( Lagoe, 1998) There are
