I I Ie I ON A CLASS OF NONPARAMETRIC TESTS FOR MANOVA IN TWO WAY LAYOUTS

I SUMMARY. The object of the present investigation is to propose and study a class I of nonparametric tests for the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) problem relating to complete two way layouts. In this context, the concept of rank-permuta-I I I .-tions for multidimensional interchangeability is developed, and the same is incorporated in the formulation of a class of genuinely distrib...

On the Computation of Local Interchangeability in Soft Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSPs and we introduced two notions of relaxations based on degradation δ and on threshold α (neighborhood interchangeability (αNI )and αneighborhood interchangeability NI ). In this paper we study the presence of these rela...

Experimental Evaluation of Interchangeability in Soft CSPs

In [8], Freuder defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently [2], we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSPs and we introduced two notions of relaxation based on degradation δ and on threshold α (neighborhood interchangeability (NI )and α neighborhood interchangeability (αNI )). In this paper we extend the study introduced in [11]...

Validation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests

Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...
