The problem of bias in rankings due to the initial position of entities when presented to judges is discussed. A modification of the Friedman Two-Way Analysis of Variance to test "ranking error" is presented. (JKS)

The basic ideas underlying the Shine-Bower ANOVA for single-subject designs are combined with those of certain repeated measures designs to produce a highly flexible design possessing the advantages of the single-subject and multi- subject approaches to research. Schematic calculation procedures are presented for the two-way case. (Author)

Rules are given for finding average variances and covariances from mean squares, and the reverse. These serve the same purpose as recursion formulas provided by Stanley and Wiley (1962), but a knowledge of matrix algebra is not needed. A four-factor design is used to illustrate their application. (Author/RC)

Some sampling characteristics of three estimators of the intraclass correlation were investigated under a variety of conditions within the context of a one-way analysis of variance. The results promote caution in the use of all three estimators. The three estimators differed very little in their bias or in their standard errors. (Author/JKS)

Procedures to estimate the magnitude of a treatment effect are examined for analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs which have repeated-measures. In particular, it is argued that the estimate of utility (strength of effect) for a within-subjects variable should be adjusted to reflect the underlying ANOVA model. (Author/JKS)

A general analysis strategy is proposed such that the universe of inference is increased incrementally. The strategy prevents logically incongruent findings that occasionally result when the conventional analysis strategy is employed. (Author)

A weighted harmonic means analysis is presented that incorporates all of the available data, preserves the planned proportionality of the design, and avoids the problems associated with the replacement of missing data with sample estimates. (Author/BW)

A computer analysis for a split plot design with unequal number of subjects in treatment groups is described. The technique presented is based on the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). An example is worked out, and full documentation is presented. (Author/JKS)

A table of critical values is presented for use with Chacko's ordered alternatives test for the analysis of variance. (Author/JKS)

Procedures for carrying out a Shine Combined (repeated measures) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) when there are unequal group sizes are described. (Author/JKS)

The conduct of multiple post hoc comparison procedures following an analysis of variance is discussed. Various procedures are contrasted in terms of appropriateness, power, and other features. Octhogonal and nonorthogonal comparisons are discussed. (JKS)

The basic assumption of Cooper's nonparametric test for trend (EJ 125 069) is questioned. It is contended that the proper assumption alters the distribution of the statistic and reduces its usefulness. (JKS)
