AN ANALYSIS OF PAIRED COMPARISON DESIGNS WITH INCOMPLETE REPETITIONS

Monte Carlo Analysis of Incomplete Paired-Comparison Experiments

The use of paired-comparison psychophysical experiments is an important technique that is used widely in imaging studies. It is sometimes difficult to compare every stimulus with every other; the number of paired comparisons for n stimuli becomes prohibitive for large values of n. Thus, experiments are often designed by missing some pairs. However, the effect on the accuracy of the estimations ...

PAIRED COMPARISON DESIGNS FOR TESTING CONCORDANCE BEl '

On the analysis of phylogenetically paired designs

As phylogenetically controlled experimental designs become increasingly common in ecology, the need arises for a standardized statistical treatment of these datasets. Phylogenetically paired designs circumvent the need for resolved phylogenies and have been used to compare species groups, particularly in the areas of invasion biology and adaptation. Despite the widespread use of this approach, ...

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Comparison of isokinetic measurements with test repetitions.

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in peak torque of the knee extensor muscles for a group of subjects. In each of three sessions, six maximal isokinetic contractions (trials) were elicited from 12 men and 4 women without isokinetic testing experience. No significant differences occurred over sessions and trials, but there was a significant interaction effect. Significant quadrati...
