Constructing two-sided simultaneous confidence intervals for multinomial proportions for small counts in a large number of cells
Confidence intervals for multinomial proportions are often constructed using large-sample methods that rely on expected cell counts of 5 or greater. In situations that give rise to a large number of categories, the cell counts may not be of adequate size to ensure the appropriate overall coverage probability and alternative methods of construction have been proposed. Sison and Glaz (1995) developed a method of constructing two-sided confidence intervals for multinomial proportions that is based on the doubly truncated Poisson distribution and their method performs well when the cell counts are fairly equally dispersed over a large number of categories. In fact, the Sison and Glaz (1995) intervals appear to outperform other methods of simultaneous construction in terms of coverage probabilities and interval length in these situations. To make the method available to researchers, we have developed a SAS macro to construct the intervals proposed by Sison and Glaz (1995).

Feasibility of mainstreaming educable mentally retarded children into regular classrooms
The current discussion of the accountability and the credibility for providing for individual needs of all children has brought about the controversy concerning the feasibility of mainstreaming educable mentally retarded children into the regular classroom. The legal aspect of the individuals rights and privileges has introduced a valid argument concerning the integration of the retarded child into a regular classroom climate. Mainstreaming mentally retarded children is not a new trend but a renewed emphasis on an old idea
The Dialogic Self: Language and Identity in Annie Ernaux
The nine largely autobiographical texts that Annie Ernaux (1940- ) has published to date, which range stylistically from early strident outpourings to the willed transparency of an écriture plate, all reveal the narrator as a patchwork subjectivity comprised of the discourses surrounding the child, adolescent, and adult against which she reacts, frequently without comprehending her own motivations. I try to unravel the strands that make up Ernaux\u27s language and explore how the self that emerges is an aggregate of the discursive spaces she has inhabited. I trace as well how her gender identity impacts her capacity and willingness to struggle against these various ideologically inflected languages. If the narrator\u27s attempt to be independent of the formative forces surrounding her turns out to be misguided, the effort has not been wasted, for it has furnished a strikingly vivid account of the struggle of the individual to achieve an awareness, denied to her parents and other inhabitants of her socially marginal milieu, of the possibilities that open up through entry into the spheres of other languages
Confluent q-extensions of some classical determinants
AbstractWe evaluate two determinants. The first is a q,h-extension of the classical confluent extension of the Vandermonde determinant. The second is a similar extension of Cauchy’s double alternant
