Multivariate models with random predictors are often considered in public health. Prospective power analysis for such models must take into account all possible stochastic realizations of the predictors. An extended definition is given for General Linear Multivariate Models with both random and fixed predictors. A classification scheme for hypotheses is introduced. Those that concern both fixed...

in this paper we prove that each element of any regular baer ring is a sum of two units if no factor ring of r is isomorphic to z_2 and we characterize regular baer rings with unit sum numbers $omega$ and $infty$. then as an application, we discuss the unit sum number of some classes of group rings.
