摘要:

In obtaining data through household surveys, one of the primary concerns is the ability of respondents to recall certain facts. Data relating to a specific household appliance collected from identical households on identical questions in two national surveys made approximately one year apart form the basis for the present analysis of consistency of response. Although there is no method of checking the accuracy of the responses, the effects of differing responses are examined.

摘要:

In a large scale survey, where a non-self-weighting design is used, the work at the tabulation stage becomes time consuming and costly due to the large number of multipliers (inflation factors) involved in obtaining the estimates. In this paper a technique is developed to substitute the multipliers by a very small number of multipliers called “randomized rounded-off multipliers” by a suitable randomizing process, thereby reducing the work at the tabulation stage. A suitable procedure has been suggested for determining the values of the randomized rounded-off multipliers which would minimize the increase in the variance of the estimator.

摘要:

The logistic distribution closely resembles the normal one. Both are symmetrical. Here two logistic bivariate distributions are studied. In both cases the curves of equal probability density are not ellipses, the regression curves are not linear and the conditional expectations are limited. The first distribution analyzed with the help of the bivariate moment generating function is asymmetrical and therefore departs considerably from the normal one. The coefficient of correlation is constant and equal to one half. The second bivariate logistic distribution is symmetrical. The regression curves are linear in probability scale and the coefficient of correlation varies in the interval ± .30396.

摘要:

For some time it has been well known among specialists in mathematical programming that the statistical problem of fitting a linear multiple regression with the criterion of minimizing the sum of absolute deviations from the regression function (rather than squared deviations) may be reduced to a linear programming problem. But this knowledge seems not widespread among general statisticians.1This note briefly reviews the formulation of this application of linear programming, and its history.

摘要:

The partial correlation between the dependent variable and thek-th independent variable in a regression can be calculated simply from thek-th regression coefficient and its standard error. Partial correlations are useful in determining relations among the estimates obtained under alternative assumptions about which variables in a regression are independent of the disturbances.

摘要:

This paper reports how factorial treatment combinations may be used in rectangular lattice designs. The analysis of variance is obtained both with and without recovery of inter-block information. Explicit formulae are presented for the variances and covariances of the treatment effects as well as single degree-of-freedom comparisons. In fact, this paper extends all the uses of factorial treatment combinations in complete block designs to rectangular lattice designs.

摘要:

Simplicity in an econometric model may often be a virtue provided that the model performs its particular predictive function in a reasonably competent manner. The following model, while minimizing computational difficulties, demonstrates fairly accurate forecasting ability and a partial explanation, via an accelerator, of postwar fluctuations in the gross national product of the United States.
