This paper addresses the problem of testing simple hypotheses about the mean of a bivariate normal distribution with identity covariance matrix against restricted alternatives. The LRTs and their power functions for such types of hypotheses are derived. Furthermore, through some elementary calculus, it is shown that the power function of the LRT satisfies certain monotonicity and symmetry p...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of early feed restriction on performance and serum thyroxin concentration of broiler chicks. the experiment was designed in a 2×2 factorial with 5 replicates of floor pens with 12 male or female chicks in each. 240 male and/or female day-old chicks of a commercial strain (hybrow) were wing banded, weighed and randomly allocated to two treatment...

There is no need to show the importance of the ltering techniques to solve constraint satisfaction problems i.e. to nd values for problem variables subject to constraints that specify which combinations of values are consistent. They can be used during a preprocessing step to remove once and for all some local inconsistencies, or during the search to eeciently prune the search tree. Recently, i...
