The sequential selection of judges for organoleptic testing
… theory of sequential analysis developed by Wald and that developed by Rao may be applied to binomial distributions and may be used to select judges for taste testing experiments. The duo-trio or triangle test may both be used as the fundamental test in either sequential process. Wald has applied …

RELATING RISKS TO PAY FACTORS FOR HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS THROUGH MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
… for the acceptance of highway materials and pavement construction. The parameters of these statistical acceptance plans are specified based on engineering judgment and may result in a high level of risk to both agency and contractor. In order to appropriately apply such specifications to …

An Item Response Theory Approach to Causal Inference in the Presence of a Pre-intervention Assessment
… item-level information, treatment placement, and the outcome to produce estimates of each subject's ability in the chosen domain. Examining a causal inference research question in an IRT model-based framework becomes a model-based way to match subjects on estimates of their true ability. This …

Stochastic models in experimental economics
… of Expected Utility Theory (EUT), economists and psychologists began publishing results that showed choices made by experimental subjects which apparently violate one or more of the EUT axioms. I discuss economists' responses to this evidence. These vary from developing new theoretical models, …

Inferential Methods to Find Differences in Population of Graphical Models with Applications to Functional Connectomics
… units of brain function but seek to study and manipulate functional connectivity or unobserved latent relationships between these units. Functional connectivity is commonly described using networks where nodes correspond to brain locations or regions, electrodes, circuits or neurons while …

Prediction of going-concern status: a probit model for the auditors
… is assumed to be a going concern when it is able and willing to continue operations in the foreseeable future. Although substantial agreement exists as to the meaning and role of the going-concern concept, it is difficult to make going-concern assessments in the course of an audit. In particular, …

Detecting Rater Centrality Effect Using Simulation Methods and Rasch Measurement Analysis
… to the difference between effect raters and non-effect raters; (2) how accurate (and inaccurate), in terms of Type I error rate and statistical power, each centrality-detection index is in flagging effect raters; and (3) how the features of the data collection design (i.e., the …

Statistically and economically based attribute acceptance sampling models with inspection errors
… on the basis of a single sample which is randomly selected from the lot. Judgment regarding the quality of an item is based on defined attributes which either conform to or deviate from prescribed standards. Traditionally, it has been assumed that no errors are introduced into the …
