Despite the widespread use of graphs in empirical research, little is known about readers' ability to process the statistical information they are meant to convey ("visual inference"). We study visual inference within the context of regression discontinuity (RD) designs by measuring how...

Human visual system is modeled in engineering field providing feature-engineered methods which detect contrasted/surprising/unusual data into images. This data is “interesting” for humans and leads to numerous applications. Deep learning (DNNs) drastically improved the algorithms efficiency...

Benford’s law has been examined as a useful tool for detecting potential accounting fraud. In this article, I provide an introduction to Benford’s law and examine how the first-digit, second-digit, and first-two digits tests in Benford’s law can be employed to detect potential accounting...

SEMinR seeks to bring the latest state-of-the-art advances in SEM methods to the R ecosystem. This package also seeks to make describing and analyzing SEMs easier for practitioners.There have been several recent advances in the various branches of SEM that are often not reflected in existing R...

In this paper we study how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been advertised over time. More specifically, our research objective is to explore and reveal how ICT advertisements have changed over the last 121 years, adapting ad technologies and content to diffuse innovations...

Advertising being a study of human behavior and responses is subject to unpredictability and lack of clear answers. Its answers are at best probabilistic and never ever universal truths. As advertising is a lot about strong images and perceptions, the intensity of the imagery is quite...

An integrated information system is a necessity to assist companies in solving problems for the management of business transactions. System Application and Product (SAP) application is an application that is able to provide solutions to these problems. The purpose of this study was to determine...
