Using previous work on the Behrens-Fisher problem, two approximate degrees of freedom tests, that can be used when one treatment is individually administered and one is administered to groups, were developed. Type I error rates are presented for these tests, an additional approximate degrees of freedom test developed by Myers, Dicecco, and Lorch (1981), and a mixed model test. The results indic...

Make more knowledge even in less time every day. You may not always spend your time and money to go abroad and get the experience and knowledge by yourself. Reading is a good alternative to do in getting this desirable knowledge and experience. You may gain many things from experiencing directly, but of course it will spend much money. So here, by reading linear mixed models for longitudinal da...

This paper proposes two mixed models to study a consumer’s optimal saving in the presence of two types of risk: income risk and background risk. In the first model, income risk is represented by a fuzzy number and background risk by a random variable. In the second model, income risk is represented by a random variable and background risk by a fuzzy number. For each model, three notions of prec...

In a recent paper ((3)) a fitting procedure for the Neyman-Scott rectangular pulses (NSRP) spatial-temporal model of rainfall was developed. In that paper, the NSRP third moment function was fitted to the equivalent sample value taken at one-hour time intervals. In this paper, the fitting and modelling procedure are extended to ensure a close fit is obtained to further sample properties over a ...

The generation of leveled production schedules is of high importance for mixed-model assembly lines whose parts and materials are supplied just-in-time by multi-level production processes. The Output Rate Variaton problem is the standard mathematical representation of this complex level scheduling problem and has been extensively studied by research thus far. This work identi es novel symmetrie...

The layered model of Sanders, et al. (1997) is a value-added assessment model that uses multivariate longitudinal mixed model methodology. This model, whose advantages are reemphasized here, has been criticized for its complexity and lack of transparency. The main purpose of this paper is to provide more transparency for this model by comparing it to three sub-models which provide a decompositi...

Als Beispiel einer interaktiven Mixed Reality Umgebung beschreiben wir den „Sensoric Garden“, sieben während eines Festivals gezeigte Installationen. Da solche Ereignisse sich nicht in Bezug auf Benutzbarkeit oder Effektivität bewerten lassen, benötigen wir andere Kriterien, um die Attraktivität der Installationen für Besucher zu erklären. Konzepte aus der Debatte um Interaktionsdesign und Inte...

6 We consider the problem of clustering time dependent data. The model is 7 a mixture of regressions, with variance-covariance matrices that are allowed 8 to vary within the extended linear mixed model family. We discuss appli9 cations to biomedical data and analyze two longitudinal data sets: one on 10 patients with delirium, and the other on mosquito gene expression following 11 infection. 12

We review and integrate existing literature on perceptions of humanness and dehumanization. Synthesizing three independent lines of research (Haslam’s two senses of humanness, mind perception theory, the stereotype content model), we provide a taxonomy of different phenomena (e.g., animalistic and mechanistic dehumanization, objectification, demonization, etc.) that all fall under the broad cat...
