摘要:

* Many of the data on which this article is based were supplied by the Bureau of the Census from unpublished material. The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Census Bureau for making this material available. In addition to giving the author access to unpublished data, members of the Bureau's staff were very generous in giving advice and comments at various stages in the preparation of this work. Among those who were especially helpful are Henry S. Shryock, Jr., Henry D. Sheldon, and Richard A. Hornseth of the Population and Housing Division; and Joseph F. Daly and Leon Pritzker of the Office of the Assistant Director for Statistical Standards. At the same time that their help is acknowledged, it must be made clear that neither the Bureau of the Census nor any of the members of its staff in any way accepts, approves, or endorses the estimates herewith, presented.

摘要:

* I am indebted to Mr. D. H. Brill and Mr. S. J. Sigel of the Research Staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System both for their extensive and constructive criticism and for the many ideas I have absorbed from their unpublished manuscripts which they so kindly made available to me. It proved impossible to give adequate acknowledgment to these papers and the extent to which they are cited below in no way indicates how heavily I have relied upon them. I am also indebted to Professor M. A. Copeland of Cornell University and Mr. J. C. Dawson of the University of Maryland for their extensive comments, criticisms, and suggestions. I alone, however, am responsible for whatever errors remain.

摘要:

The performance of a production process is characterized by the quantity and quality of the output; it is affected by factors of production, such as conditions of the process and quantities of inputs. In experimentation where the factors are controlled, we assume a bivariate linear regression model with quantity and quality of output as dependent variates. In operation where quality of output is controlled by adjusting one of the factors, another regression model is used in which quantity of output and the one factor are dependent variates. The second model is derived from the first. It is shown how to use experimental data to estimate the coefficients of the regression of quantity of output in the second model; this regression function is desired for predicting performance in operation. Confidence regions and tests of hypotheses are treated. The exposition is in the form of an analysis of a particular problem met by a chemical engineering firm.
