This paper is concerned with investigating the efficiency of estimators using dummy variables relative to the efficiency of the estimators obtained from "separate" functions. First the advantages of using dummy variables are discussed. Second, the proof of the efficiency criteria of estimators...

This study reports on how different microcomputer systems performed in the solution of two linear programming models purposely specified with redundant vectors. Comparisons were made to a Cyber 720 that used both a Fortran and Basic version of the same primal-dual algorithm. Results are mixed....
