Proponents of class size reductions draw heavily on the results from Project STAR to support their initiatives. Adding to the political appeal of these initiative are reports that minority and economically disadvantaged students received the largest benefits from smaller classes. We extend this...

Emotional processing (EP) from the emotional approach coping measure has been shown to moderate the effect of writing interventions. This study targeted writing interventions to EP level, with low EP participants receiving a best possible self (BPS) script and high EP participants receiving an...

In this paper, we consider the estimation problem of individual weights of three objects. For the estimation we use the chemical balance weighing design and the criterion of D-optimality. We assume that the error terms <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\varepsilon_{i},\ i=1,2,\dots,n,}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> are a first-order autoregressive...</equationsource></inlineequation>

If <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$F$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> is a full factorial design and <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$D$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> is a fraction of <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$F$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, then for a given monomial ordering, the algebraic method gives a saturated polynomial basis for <InlineEquation ID="IEq4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$D$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> which can be used for regression. Consider now an algebraic basis for the complementary fraction of <InlineEquation ID="IEq5"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$D$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> in <InlineEquation ID="IEq6"> <EquationSource...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

Discrepancy measure can be utilized as a uniformity measure for comparing factorial designs. A so-called discrete discrepancy has been used to evaluate the uniformity of factorials. In this paper we give linkages among uniformity measured by the discrete discrepancy, generalized minimum...
