Abstract: A method for academic engagement includes parsing answers from questions in a question group from completed questionnaires. Answers are discrete numbers. The method includes determining a transformed scale score as: {acute over (x)}=x?1, determining a POMP score as: p = x ? n and mapping a rescaled probability as: {acute over (p)}=?p+0.5(1??). ? is a scaling constant between 0.5 and 1. The method includes determining a modified logit as: t = ln ? ( p ? 1 - p ? ) , determining a mean for the modified logit values and determining a mean rescaled probability for each determined mean as: p ^ ? = e t ? 1 + e t ? . The method includes determining an estimated standard probability as: p ^ = p ^ ? + 0.

Abstract: A childhood development system may capture audio and video in a home environment in which a child resides. The captured audio and the captured video may be filtered to remove audio and video corresponding to persons other than the child. Based upon information from the filtered video and the filtered audio, multiple scores can be calculated for the child using multiple trained machine-learning models. The scores can be compared with various stored activity score bundles. An indication of one or more compatible activities mapped to the activity score bundles that best match the child's scores is output.
