Implementation Procedures for the Risk in Early Design (RED) Method

Risk assessments performed at the conceptual design phase of a product may offer the greatest opportunity to increase product safety and reliability at the least cost. This is an especially difficult proposition, however, as often the product has not assumed a physical form at this early design stage. This paper introduces the Risk in Early Design (RED) method, a method for performing risk asse...

Design and performance evaluation of sequential standardized time series procedures under multiple replications in parallel

Strightforward simulation of complex networks can require prohibitively long simulation times to give reasonable results, despite of increasing power of modern computers. A simple yet effective way to get rid of this problem is to generate data asynchronously, in different parallel data streams, and average the intermediate results conveniently. This approach is called Multiple Replications in ...

Randomized Block Design

Example It is common in nutrition studies to compare diets by feeding them to newly weaned male rats and measuring the weight gained by the rats over a 28-day period. The initial weight of the rats is an extraneous factor that is especially important as an influence on weight gain. Rather than randomly assign 10 rats to each diet, we first divide the animals into 10 groups of 3 rats each based ...

Nonparametric Tests for Ordering in Completely Randomized and Randomized Block Mixed Designs

Two nonparametric tests are proposed in testing for k nondecreasing treatment effects under a mixed design consisting of a completely randomized portion and a randomized block portion. The randomized block portion may contain missing observations for some of the treatments within a block. A simulation study is conducted to estimate the powers of the two tests for 3, 4, and 5 treatments under a ...
