Power to detect normal mixtures: Simulation results
Thode, H.C. Jr. - 2008
Twenty tests for normality were compared for the purpose of detecting mixtures of two normal components with unequal means but equal variance. The purpose of this study was to determine the power of tests specifically designed to detect mixtures, i.e., the likelihood ratio and Engelman-Hartigan...

Managing Errors to Reduce Accidents in High Consequence Networked Information Systems
Ganter, J.H. - 2008
Computers have always helped to amplify and propagate errors made by people. The emergence of Networked Information Systems (NISs), which allow people and systems to quickly interact worldwide, has made understanding and minimizing human error more critical. This paper applies concepts from...
