purpose : to assess the results of 1-minute and 5-minute schirmer's test (st) when the eyes are open (sto) and closed (stc) in normal participants. methods : in a comparative, observational case series study, 34 normal volunteers were included in the study. inclusion criteria were normal ophthalmologic findings except for refractive errors, no use of contact lenses, no history of previous ...

one of the most practical routine tests for convergence of a positive series makes use of the ratio test. if this test fails, we can use rabbe's test. when rabbe's test fails the next sharper criteria which may sometimes be used is the bertrand's test. if this test fails, we can use a generalization of bertrand's test and such tests can be continued in nitely. for simplicity...

Godfrey (1996, Journal of Econometrics 72, 275}299) has shown that the Glejser test for heteroskedasticity is valid only under conditional symmetry. Here, modi"cations of the Glejser test are suggested. The proposed test statistics are asymptotically valid even when the disturbances are not symmetrically distributed and can be used to test for heteroskedasticity when conditional location functi...
