Where fuzzy regression can be applied and, in which conditions fuzzy regression method more appropriate tool for the investigations are identified in this paper. The contrast between fuzzy regression and ordinary regression analysis and three approach of fuzzy regression are summarized. In this paper, we estimated the values of the parameters in the factorial experiment in the textile industry ...

Information in a statistical experiment is often measured through the determinant of its information matrix. Under first order normal linear models, the determinant of the information matrix of a two-level factorial experiment neither depends on where the experiment is centered, nor on how it is oriented, and balanced allocations are more informative than unbalanced ones with the same number of...

Investigations of the plant food requirements for sugarcane grown on the wind-blown, sandy soils of marine origin typical of the Natal coast, have. occupied the' attention, of numerous investigat6rsin past 'years. In some cases there has been shown to be little response to phosphate, whilst in the case of inorganic salts of potash and nitrogen a lack. of response or even a depressing effect on ...

Continuing experimental work on SAS data set compression presented at NESUG in 2004, I designed another two-factor factorial experiment. My first factor compares the three kinds of data set compression offered by SAS on UNIX; the SAS DATA set OPTIONS COMPRESS=CHAR, COMPRESS=BINARY and SAS sequential format files created with the V9TAPE engine, three UNIX file compression algorithms; compress, g...

1. In poultry investigations, the main interest is often to study the effects of many factors simultaneously. Two or three level factorial designs are the most commonly used for this type of investigation. However, it is often too costly to perform when number of factors increase. So a fractional factorial design, which is a subset or a fraction of a full factorial design, is an alternative. Th...

This article addresses the varied possibilities for following a two-level fractional factorial with another fractional factorial half the size of the original experiment. While follow-up fractions of the same size as an original experiment are common practice, in many situations a smaller follow-up experiment will suffice. Peter John coined the term “semifolding” to describe using half of a fol...

The aim of this study is to manipulate musical cues systematically to determine the aspects of music that contribute to emotional expression, and whether these cues operate in additive or interactive fashion, and whether the cue levels can be characterized as linear or non-linear. An optimized factorial design was used with six primary musical cues (mode, tempo, dynamics, articulation, timbre, ...
