In this paper, Burr-type XII ̄X
synthetic schemes are proposed as an alternative to the classical ̄X
synthetic schemes when the
assumption of normality fails to hold. First, the basic design of the Burr-type XII ̄X
synthetic scheme is developed and its performance
investigated using exact formulae. Secondly, the non-side-sensitive and side-sensitive Burr-type XII ̄X
synthetic schemes
are int...
