and reviewing plans with estimators. During this week, I was exposed to reviewing plans from the perspective of an estimator. In the second week, I was exposed to stack estimating software and started shadowing the estimators and participating in their work sessions. This helped me in developing a good understanding of the role and responsibilities of an estimator and the process of working on a bid. During the third week, I was given specific assignments to shadow estimators on specific projects. I

client explains the job and awaits for the offer. Then builder’s estimator measures the work, price it and makes the offer according to builder’s own terms and conditions. If the work is big and high in value such as building a house or an industrial unit, client approaches an architect who will design the project, submit the drawings to the builder including specifications and detailed standard form of contract. Builder’s estimator measure the quantities of work based upon the drawings and then will

or the minimum or both, contingent upon possibly they are amazingly high or low. By and by, the specimen most extreme and least are not generally outliers in light of the fact that they may not be phenomenally a long way from different qualities Estimators that are fit for getting by with outliers are called

Left truncation or delayed entry occurs when subjects enter a study at a particular age (not necessarily the origin for the event of interest) and are followed from this delayed entry time until the event occurs or until the subject is censored. For example, in actuarial life tables, it is common to ignore those who die in the womb. Another example for left truncation data residents house retirement center study, where ages at death are recorded, as well as ages at which individuals entered the retirement

1. Cost: when we are looking at the cost of the construction project we have to look through and have to consider all the stages of the design and the construction project this is part of the specification. It is very important to have the cost estimator involved right from the start of the project to ensure that the project budget reflects the decisions made by the project construction team throughout the integrated the design process. 2. Quality standard and legislation: quality is the part

requested full-height tile in the restrooms, but the quote that came in seemed high. By completing the takeoff, I was able to identify the problems in the estimate. I have found the project estimator to be a great resource. If I have any questions pertaining the subcontracts, my first contact is always our estimator. A simple question asked over the phone can often transform into a conversation where I am able to learn something new about estimating. I was recently offered to have my internship extended

SOME PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPENSITY SCORE MATCHING Marco Caliendo IZA, Bonn Sabine Kopeinig University of Cologne Abstract. Propensity score matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimate causal treatment effects. It is widely applied when evaluating labour market policies, but empirical examples can be found in very diverse fields of study. Once the researcher has decided to use PSM, he is confronted with a lot of questions regarding its implementation. To begin

Mental disorder can be classified into 4 categories: depression, bipolar affective disorder, schizophrenia and other psychoses and dementia. According to World Health Organization, depression is one of the most common mental disorders worldwide. Globally, about 400 million people of all ages suffer from depression. More women are affected than men. (WHO, Mental disorders, 2014) In Malaysia, some national surveys were conducted in community households by trained medical professionals. According to

groups of data including the control group, underestimators, the second control group, and over estimators were tested in this experiment. The first individuals in the control group cheated around 12.7%, however, underestimators that were given information about those who lied in the experiment cheated around 25.6%. In the second group, test results showed that the control cheated around 56.3% and over estimators that were given the information about those who lied, cheated around 21.8%. In this experiment

Available and complete climate data of daily maximum and minimum temperature and daily total rainfall amount was collected from National Meteorological Agency (NMA) spanning from 1983 to 2014. The collected data was a 4 km by 4 km gridded dataset, which combines both the observed station data and relatively high-resolution satellite image. It lies within latitude 6.4 ° – 7.1° N and longitude 37.4 ° – 38.2° E. Owing to this, the preference is given to the gridded data over the station data, which
