English-learning 7.5-month-olds are heavily biased to perceive stressed syllables as word onsets. By 11 months, however, infants begin segmenting non-initially stressed words from speech. Using the same artificial language methodology as Johnson and Jusczyk (2001), we explored the possibility that the emergence of this ability is linked to a decreased reliance on prosodic cues to word boundarie...

control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...

Dimensional analysis (DA) is a well-developed, widely-employed methodology in the physical and engineering sciences. The application of dimensional analysis in statistics leads to three advantages: (1) the reduction of the number of potential causal factors that we need to consider, (2) the analytical insights into the relations among variables that it generates, and (3) the scalability of resu...

This provides a comprehensive listing of books, mainly in English, on the topic of experimental design relative to historical development, classification, construction, experimental layout, and statistical analysis. The books can be used as texts in courses and as references for research. It should be noted that most of the material presented in books places the emphasis on statistical analysis...
