This online application gives manufacturers the ability to compare Iowa to other states on a number of different topics including: business climate, education, operating costs, quality of life and workforce.

Price comparison portals can be useful in various ways. While they allow buyers to find the best possible price available for a product, they can also help sellers to make sure that the pricing of their products remain competitive. Sellers also can use these portals to market their products in front of a very targeted audience.

In the U.S., Google Shopping is the most well-known price comparison portal with a brand awareness of 59 percent. Second on this list are Yahoo Shopping and Bing Shop, that are recognized by almost half of the internet respondents. Shopzilla comes in fourth, followed by Shopping.com and PriceGrabber.

For this study, brand awareness was surveyed employing the concept of aided brand recognition, showing respondents both the brand's logo and the written brand name.

ITS data collected as part of Comparison of statistical methods used to meta-analyse results from interrupted time series studies: an empirical study. Code used to analyse the ITS studies.

The gap between genomics and phenomics is narrowing. The rate at which it is narrowing, however, is being slowed by improper statistical comparison of methods. Quantification using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) is commonly used to assess method quality, but it is an often misleading statistic for this purpose as it is unable to provide information about the relative quality of two methods. Using r can both erroneously discount methods that are inherently more precise and validate methods that are less accurate. These errors occur because of logical flaws inherent in the use of r when comparing methods, not as a problem of limited sample size or the unavoidable possibility of a type I error. A popular alternative to using r is to measure the limits of agreement (LOA). However both r and LOA fail to identify which instrument is more or less variable than the other and can lead to incorrect conclusions about method quality. An alternative approach, comparing variances of methods, requires repeated measurements of the same subject, but avoids incorrect conclusions. Variance comparison is arguably the most important component of method validation and, thus, when repeated measurements are possible, variance comparison provides considerable value to these studies. Statistical tests to compare variances presented here are well established, easy to interpret and ubiquitously available. The widespread use of r has potentially led to numerous incorrect conclusions about method quality, hampering development, and the approach described here would be useful to advance high throughput phenotyping methods but can also extend into any branch of science. The adoption of the statistical techniques outlined in this paper will help speed the adoption of new high throughput phenotyping techniques by indicating when one should reject a new method, outright replace an old method or conditionally use a new method.

On 5th July 2023, Meta Platforms released Threads, a text-focused social media platform. Joining Meta's Family of Apps, Threads focuses on real-time conversations, giving users a similar experience to Twitter. Threads offers users 500 characters per post, in comparison to Twitter's 280 characters. However, for Twitter Blue subscribers, posts can be substantially longer. Threads users can also take advantage of longer video posts, and free verification through their Instagram accounts.

A bolt out of the (Twitter) blue

As the tech elite attempt to fill the Twitter-shaped hole that social media users are feeling since the platform’s recent changes, the company is offering users the chance to verify themselves on the platform. The famous blue check mark, once reserved for journalists, celebrities, and public figures, can be purchased for a monthly fee. As of April 2023, there 640 thousand people were subscribing to Twitter Blue, up from 290 thousand in February 2023.

Threads is off to a strong start

Creating a profile on Threads is easy for Meta product users who already have an Instagram account as the new and free-to-use platform is integrated into the widely used app. With around two billion monthly active users on Instagram, it is no surprise that Threads gained 30 million sign-ups within 24 hours of being launched. Although signing up for Threads is easy, quitting the platform is not so straightforward, as deleting a Threads account results in the deactivation of the linked Instagram account.

Nursing Home Compare has detailed information about every Medicare and Medicaid nursing home in the country. A nursing home is a place for people who can’t be cared for at home and need 24-hour nursing care. These are the official datasets used on the Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare Website provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These data allow you to compare the quality of care at every Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including over 15,000 nationwide.

The data we used for this study include species occurrence data (n=15 species), climate data and predictions, an expert opinion questionnaire, and species masks that represented the model domain for each species. For this data release, we include the results of the expert opinion questionnaire and the species model domains (or masks). We developed an expert opinion questionnaire to gather information regarding expert opinion regarding the importance of climate variables in determining a species geographic range. The species masks, or model domains, were defined separately for each species using a variation of the “target-group” approach (Phillips et al. 2009), where the domain was determine using convex polygons including occurrence data for at least three phylogenetically related and similar species (Watling et al. 2012). The species occurrence data, climate data, and climate predictions are freely available online, and therefore not included in this data release. The species occurrence data were obtained primarily from the online database Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; http://www.gbif.org/), and from scientific literature (Watling et al. 2011). Climate data were obtained from the WorldClim database (Hijmans et al. 2005) and climate predictions were obtained from the Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Prediction Studies (COAPS) at Florida State University (https://floridaclimateinstitute.org/resources/data-sets/regional-downscaling).

Euro Area Growth Signals from Industrial Production: Warnings from a Comparison of Gross Value Added and Production

This study compares industrial production and gross value added in volume terms in the euro area and euro area countries, because real GDP growth
signals from industrial production growth might be misleading and earlier released industrial production growth is not one-to-one translated into industrial value added growth. This is an important issue for analysts and policy makers, because industrial production is a standard element in tools for nowcasting real GDP in real time. It also raises the question about the factors explaining these differences. Differences in terms of (changes in) quarterly growth between production and gross value added include sign reversals and can last for consecutive quarters. Persistent level differences might also exist. The explanatory factors for these differences are the treatment of prices, seasonality and coverage. Data limitations prevent a detailed analysis of the price factor, but the other two factors are more closely evaluated. It turns out that the relative importance of these factors varies over time and thus is difficult to assess ex ante for a specific quarter. A remedy is that statisticians further harmonize national accounts and short-term statistics as well as national practices for seasonal adjustment.
