Abstract Paired comparisons are a popular tool for questionnaires in psychological marketing research. The quality of the statistical analysis of the responses heavily depends on the design, i.e. the choice of the alternatives in the comparisons. In this paper we show that the structure of locally optimal designs changes substantially with the parameters in the underlying utility. This fact is ...

In this paper we will discuss why in some circumstances people express their intentions indirectly: the use of Indirect Speech Acts (ISA). Based in Parikh’s game of part information and Franke’s IBR model, we develop a game-theoretic model of ISA, which is divided into two categories, namely non-conventional ISA and conventional ISA. We assume that non-conventional ISA involves two types of com...

I my earlier paper (Smyth, 1975b) I combined a distributed lag or permanent income consumption function with a lagged tax function. Bradley (1976) disputes my finding that short, two-period, oscillations may result and that consequently the presence of built-in flexibility of taxation may be destabilising rather than stabilising. Bradley reaches his conclusion by limiting consideration to param...

Review by Linda Bradley, Chalmers University of Technology Researching Online Foreign Language Interaction and Exchange, edited by Melinda Dooly and Robert O’Dowd, is the third book in a series by Peter Lang on telecollaboration in education. This third edited volume maps out topical aspects of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in online exchange research in three sections: theoretical appr...

Tlie "equilibration" method introduced by Bradley to measure circulating "splanchnic blood volume" has been applied to the estimation of "pulmonary blood volume." The theoretic and practical aspects of the method are analyzed. Values for circulating "pulmonary blood volume" determined in anesthetized dogs were not significantly different from values obtained by the "mean circulation time output...

In the index to Appearance and Reality (First Edition) Mr. Bradley declares that all relations are “intrinsical”; and the following are some of the phrases by means of which he tries to explain what he means by this assertion. “A relation must at both ends affect, and pass into, the being of its terms” (p. 364). “Every relation essentially penetrates the being of its terms, and is, in this sens...

We present a new method for planning the optimal next view for a probabilistic visual object tracking task. Our method uses a variable number of cameras, can plan an action sequence several time steps into the future, and allows for real-time usage due to a computation time which is linear both in the number of cameras and the number of time steps. The algorithm can also handle object loss in o...
