Analysis Of Growth Curves Under Some Special Covariance Structures, Shobha Prabhala Oct 1995

Analysis Of Growth Curves Under Some Special Covariance Structures, Shobha Prabhala

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

In this dissertation we consider the growth curve or generalized MANOVA model in its most general form given by and develop statistical methodology for analyzing data using this model. Here g represents the number of groups, Yij is the observation matrix, ξ is a matrix of unknown parameters, Ai is a known matrix of rank g, and Bij is a matrix of rank k. Further, the rows of the error matrix ∈ij are independent and each distributed as Npij (0, Σij).This model accommodates different kinds of unbalanced data, such as, monotone data, data …


The Role Of The Unconscious In The Perception Of Risks, Andrew F. Fritzsche Jun 1995

The Role Of The Unconscious In The Perception Of Risks, Andrew F. Fritzsche

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Fritzsche argues that our world is too "rational" and that the psychology of the unconscious, as developed by Jung, can be key to understanding responses to hazards and to resolving conflicts that arise in the political management of risks.


Two-Factor Agricultural Experiment With Repeated Measures On One Factor In A Complete Randomized Design, Armando Garsd, María Del C. Fabrizio, María V. López Apr 1995

Two-Factor Agricultural Experiment With Repeated Measures On One Factor In A Complete Randomized Design, Armando Garsd, María Del C. Fabrizio, María V. López

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

A typical agricultural experiment involves comparisons of several treatments at different points in time. The ensuing lack of independence between observations of the same experimental unit may then impair the attainment of statistical significance by the standard analysis of variance, and calls for the application of more powerful methods. This paper addresses one such method, the so-called two-factor experiment with repeated measures on one factor. We discuss the adequacy of this model in the context of three concrete examples drawn from agricultural experimentation.


Evaluating The Expertise Of Experts, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette Mar 1995

Evaluating The Expertise Of Experts, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Professor Shrader-Frechette maintains that a rigid distinction between risk assessment and risk management is unwise. Concerned about procedural fairness, she argues that the public should have a voice in both.


Congressional Risk Proposals, Dalton G. Paxman Mar 1995

Congressional Risk Proposals, Dalton G. Paxman

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Paxman relates how an ambitious environmental agenda supported by the Administration and many members of the 103d Congress was ultimately derailed. He associates this with an apparently ever-growing interest in risk assessment.


Senator Johnston's Proposals For Regulatory Reform: New Cost-Benefit-Risk Analysis Requirements For Epa, Linda-Jo Schierow Jan 1995

Senator Johnston's Proposals For Regulatory Reform: New Cost-Benefit-Risk Analysis Requirements For Epa, Linda-Jo Schierow

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Schierow compares provisions designed to improve the development of regulations and promulgated by Reagan and Clinton Executive Orders with those in the Johnston Amendments.
