Design Issues for Experiments in Multilevel Populations

Design Issues for Experiments in Multilevel Populations

For the design of e,rperiments in multilevel papulations the following questions may arise: What is the optimal level of randomization ? Given a certain budget for sampling and measuring, what is the optimal allocation of units? What is the required budget for obtaining a certain power on the test of no treatment effect ? In this article these questions will be dealt with for populations with t...

SEISMIC ISSUES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS THE ROLE OF ARCHITECT IN SEISMIC SAFETY ISSUES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS

When a specific building is examined and analysed for its architectural merits, it is the visible, superficial aspects, which are considered, for example: aesthetics, function, spatial relationships, and landscape. One of the most important invisible factors that should be considered in the design process is the safety of buildings against natural hazards, particularly against earthquakes. Whil...

Detecting Spillover Effects: Design and Analysis of Multilevel Experiments

Design and validation issues in RNA-seq experiments

The next-generation sequencing technologies are being rapidly applied in biological research. Tens of millions of short sequences generated in a single experiment provide us enormous information on genome composition, genetic variants, gene expression levels and protein binding sites depending on the applications. Various methods are being developed for analyzing the data generated by these tec...
