Original Source Material
APT was compared with numerous extant methodologies, including the linear models approach and event history analysis. The fundamental difference between APT and these other approaches is that no particular mathematical model is assumed in APT. In APT a model is viewed simply as a temporal pattern, whereas in most other approaches parameters of a mathematical model are estimated from data in which variables are measured separately. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration.Original Source Material

Student Version
The major difference between Analysis of Patterns in Time and linear statistical models is that APT does not assume any specific mathematical model. Linear models attempt to find statistical relations between variables that have been measured separately. In APT, temporal patterns indicate relationships. Those patterns are counted in order to estimate their likelihoods.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

a. Word-for-Word plagiarism
b. Paraphrasing plagiarism
c. This is not plagiarism

The type of plagiarism that is taking place in this example is paraphrasing plagiarism. Plagiarism takes place when a person takes the ideas of a particular source or author and passes them as his own. This occurs when an author does not give credit to the original source of the ideas. However, paraphrasing plagiarism is a type of plagiarism in which the ideas of the original source are rewritten or rearranged so that they do not look identical, but can nevertheless be recognized as the same ideas.
