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...

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...

Accurate theoretical modelling and simulation of thermal energy storage (TES) by means of phase change materials (PCM) is very complex and its results are not close enough to experimental values. This paper presents the empirical study of a thermal storage unit operating with a commercial PCM...

Randomizing the order of experimentation in a factorial design does not always achieve the desired effect of neutralizing the influence of unknown factors. In fact, with some very reasonable assumptions, an important proportion of random orders afford the same degree of protection as that...

The bivariate random effects model has been advocated for the meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy despite scarce information regarding its statistical performance for non-comparative categorical outcomes. Four staggered simulation experiments using a full-factorial design were conducted to...

Theoretical results are derived for finding D-optimal two-level orthogonal arrays for estimating main effects and some specified two-factor interactions. The upper bounds of the determinant of the related matrix for D-optimality are obtained. For run sizes 12 and 20, D-optimal orthogonal arrays...
