Monte Carlo

Another way to identify the number of factors to retain is to perform parallel analysis. Following the steps provided by Pallant (2016), I carried out the parallel analysis using the program Monte Carlo PCA. The results from this analysis recommend retaining only three factors (components for) further investigation. In order to discriminate the factors (and make the interpretation of them easier), two main and the most common, approaches to rotation will be employed. These are the orthogonal (and

My First Semester of College When I first enrolled in this course I thought it would be a good chance for me to meet new people with an interest in ballet, but I never thought that it would have a larger impact on myself. For instance, I did not believe that I would relate the world of ballet to my economics and statistic class that I am currently enrolled in as well, but that is exactly what I began to do.

Monte Cristo seeks revenge on Danglars by using the purser’s love of money as a means to his ruins as well as by causing his imprisonment, since Danglars is the initial conspirator for Dantes’ imprisonment. On the Pharaon, Danglers is the pursuer while Dantes is the first mate, and from the very beginning of the novel Danglars is extremely jealous of Dantes, for “he was as much disliked by the crew as Edmond Dantes was liked by them” (2). Danglars’ initial offense against Dantes is that, out of his

In Ethan Canin’s short story, he develops 2 protagonists, Sedgewick and Hundert. Hundert is a history teacher at St Benedict's and Sedgewick is one of his students. Hunderts expectations influence Sedgewick in many ways as well as Sedgewick's father, the senator. Expectations as a child define who you will become

It dignified manual labor, the rule acted as a written constitution and rule of law for most monasteries, policies could be

The greatest honor we can give to those who have preceded us is to remember their beliefs and values and apply them to our way of living. Making the Benedictine Values a part of our educational, professional, and personal lives is the highest distinction we can pay to the founding father of those values, St. Benedict of Nursia. In this essay, I will reflect on my education of the Benedictine Values, describing what I have learned, the message I am supposed to receive through learning about these
