This article presents a Bayesian hypothesis test for analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs. The test is an application of standard Bayesian methods for variable selection in regression models. We illustrate the effect of various g-priors on the ANOVA hypothesis test. The Bayesian test for ANOVA designs is useful for empirical researchers and for students; both groups will get a more acute apprec...

This study proposes robust means modeling (RMM) approaches for hypothesis testing of mean differences for between-subjects designs in order to control the biasing effects of nonnormality and variance inequality. Drawing from structural equation modeling (SEM), the RMM approaches make no assumption of variance homogeneity and employ robust estimation/rescaling strategies in order to alleviate re...

Resurgence in agricultural-based sectors in Malaysia recently has prompted this study to explore the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) patterns as an indicator to explain Malaysian agro-based enterprises. The study is based on 615 observations of Bumiputera small and medium agro-based enterprises (BSMAEs) in three regional growth corridors (RGCs) throughout the Peninsular. Item analysis were don...

This article considers experiments in manufacturing where the response of interest is the geometric shape of a manufactured part and the goal is to determine whether the process settings varied during the experiment affect the resulting shape of the part. An approach in practice to determine factor effects is to estimate the form error of the part—if a standard definition of the form error of i...

information on water quality and pollution sources is important for the implementation of sustainable water resource management strategies. in this research, to evaluate spatial variation and the interpretation of large complex water quality data taken at seven different sites along the gorganrood river were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis. the factor analysis generated two signi...
