National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study (NEILS): Expenditure Study
This study used the “ingredients” approach or Resource Cost Model (RCM) to analyze early intervention expenditures. The RCM represents a bottom-up methodology for organizing and analyzing resource allocation data.

Evaluation Of Bias Correction Methods For ‘Worst-Case’ Selective Non-Participation In NAEP
Although NAEP has not been given an official confirmatory role under NCLB, one can expect greater scrutiny of the relationship between state scores and state NAEP scores in the coming years.

Application of the Modified Group Delay Function to Speaker Identification and Discrimination
In this paper, we explore new methods by which speakers can be identified and discriminated, using features derived from the fourier transform phase. A Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based speaker identification system is built with the MODGDF as the front end feature.

Assigning Adaptive NAEP Booklets Based On State Assessment Scores: A Simulation Study Of The Impact On Standard Errors
This simulation assessed the improvements that could be expected if students were pre-assigned to test booklets that were adapted to their level of performance.

The Use of a Linguistically Motivated Language Model in Conversational Speech Recognition
In this paper we show that such a model can be used effectively and efficiently in all stages of a complex, multi-pass conversational telephone speech recognition system.

TRAPping Conversational Speech: Extending TRAP/Tandem Approaches to Conversational Telephone Speech Recognition
In this paper we report experiments with a reduced conversational speech task that led to the adoption of a number of engineering decisions for the design of an acoustic front end. We then describe our results with this front end on a full vocabulary conversational telephone speech task. In both cases the front end yielded…
