The outline for half of a one-credit-hour course in analysis of chemical engineering data is presented, along with a range of typical problems encountered later on in the chemical engineering curriculum that can be used to reinforce the data analysis skills learned in the course. This mini course allows students to be exposed to a variety of ChE…

Analysing Training Evaluation of the Worth of Training (TEOT) data collected in Successive Intervals Scaling procedures makes possible a more realistic assessment of input TEOT data, and enables training executives to improve their decision making at very low cost. (SA)

The present study was addressed to the group AOV situation. Onte Carlo methods were employed to contrast several procedures with respect to a. ) control over Type 1 errors and b. ) power. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to help determine optimum item sampling plans for use in school evaluation projects. (Author)

Undertaken by a student from Rutger's University Graduate School of Library Service, this study is an analysis of the first 500 rejections received in response to his applications for professional library positions over a two year period. Job applications are categorized as solicited and unsolicited: these categories are further divided by type of…

Research in broadcasting has increased substantially and can be used to aid in a variety of broadcast-related decisions. This paper focuses on audience analysis, an area of knowledge necessary for deciding analysis, an area of knowledge necessary for deciding special-program content, format changes, and aspects of news programming. Topics…

In this study assumptions are made concerning the amount of clustering in sequences containing runs of equivalent elements. It is assumed that any valid clustering measure is linear with respect to union of runs and monotone increasing under iterations of clustering operators. With these two assumptions it follows that any such measure is of…

Describes a case study survey method that allows an analyst to aggregate (by means of a closed-ended questionnaire) the case study experiences and to assess the quality of each case study in a reliable and replicable manner. (Author/IRT)

The development of a growth index that would allow the growth and development of students in different schools to be compared to one another in an attempt to isolate those factors related to student growth was the focus of this study. (Author/RK)

The present experiment was directed at establishing the empirical relations between re-pairing and degree of training, and between re-pairing and information about that re-pairing. (Author)

Semiotic analysis is a method of analyzing signs (e.g., words) to reduce non-numeric data to their component parts without losing essential meanings. Semiotics dates back to Aristotle's analysis of language; it was much advanced by nineteenth-century analyses of style and logic and by Whitehead and Russell's description in this century of the role…

This training manual presents material on the theoretical concepts involved in the methods listed in the Federal Register as approved for determination of trace metals. Emphasis is on laboratory operations. This course is intended for chemists and technicians with little or no experience in analytical methods for trace metals. Students should have…

This research project addresses a series of methodological and theoretical statistical problems in the analysis of categorical data using loglinear and logistic response models, which grow directly out of problems in the study of the American educational system, and in basic educational research. The project focuses on the adaptation and…

Integrative analysis, or what is coming to be known as meta-analysis, is the integration of the findings of many empirical research studies of a topic. Meta-analysis differs from traditional narrative forms of research reviewing in that it is more quantitative and statistical. Thus, the methods of meta-analysis are merely statistical methods,…
