Identifying All Distinct Sample P-P Plots, with an Application to the Exact Finite Sample Distribution of the L1-FCvM Test Statistic

Hinloopen, Jeroen; Wagenvoort, Rien - Tinbergen Institute - 2010

P-p plots contain all the information that is needed for scale-invariant comparisons. Indeed, Empirical Distribution Function (EDF) tests translate sample p-p plots into a single number. In this paper we characterize the set of all distinct p-p plots for two balanced sample of size <I>n</I> absent...</i>

D-optimal and D-efficient equivalent-estimation second-order split-plot designs

MACHARIA, Harrison; GOOS, Peter - Faculteit Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen, … - 2010

impossible to use a complete randomization. In such cases, the split-plot design structure is a cost-efficient alternative that … reduces the number of independent settings of the hard-to-change factors. In general, model estimation for split-plot designs … requires the use of generalized least squares (GLS). However, for some split-plot designs (including not only classical …
