Inspecting Automated Test Code: A Preliminary Study

Testing is an essential part of an agile process as test is automated and tends to take the role of specifications in place of documents. However, whenever test cases are faulty, developers’ time might be wasted to fix problems that do not actually originate in the production code. Because of their relevance in agile processes, we posit that the quality of test cases can be assured through soft...

A Preliminary Test Estimator in Circular Statistics

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com on PTEs and Stein-type estimators for various linear models. In statistical inference, the use of prior information on other parameters in a statistical model, usually leads to improved inference on the parameter of interest. Prior information may he (i) known and deterministic which is then incorporated into the model in the form of constraints on ...

Fluorescent treponemal antibody test; a preliminary report.

The fluorescent treponemal antibody (F.T.A.) test described by Deacon, Falcone, and Harris (1957) was one of the procedures using treponemal antigens chosen for inclusion in the Serology Evaluation and Research Assembly (S.E.R.A.) Study carried out under the auspices of the United States Public Health Service in 1956-57 (U.S.P.H.S. Report, 1959). The test was shown to give very sensitive and sp...

A Preliminary Test for Nonlinear Structure

We present a preliminary test for nonlinear structure in large data sets. This procedure consists of transforming the data to remove the correlations, then discretizing the data and nally, studying the cell counts in the resulting contingency table. Formal tests can be performed using the usual chi-squared test statistic. A simple Poisson approximation is useful for informal examination of the ...
