The Relative Efficiency of Two Strategies For Conducting Cognitive Task Analysis
<p>Cognitive task analysis (CTA) has evolved over the past half century to capture the mental decisions and analysis that experts have learned to implement when solving complex problems. Since expertise is largely automated and nonconscious, a variety of observation and interview strategies have …

Sheltered Workshops In Ireland : Relative Efficiency Of A Sample Of Twelve Units
… analysis (DBA) as a method of measuring the relative efficiency of twelve sheltered workshops. This is compared with results obtained using traditional financial management ratios. <br/><br/>Both methods suggest that a significant variation exists between the efficiency of these workshops …

Usefulness of goodwill impairment under SFAS No. 142 in reflecting the relative efficiency of firms
… quality by better reflecting the underlying relative efficiency of a firm. A firm's relative efficiency is measured by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The analysis is undertaken on three selected industries--durable manufacturers, computers, and services. First, Wilcoxon rank sum tests …

The Relative Efficiency of Auditory (Social) Reinforcement vs. Food Reinforcement with the Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri Sciureus) in an Operant Situation
Research using non-deprivation and sensory or food reinforcement has received little attention to the present time. It is possible that, at least in the laboratory, sensory reinforcement under non- deprived conditions may be a much more economical and efficient reinforcer than food reinforcement …

A study of the relative efficiency of a symmetrical versus a non symmetrical hand motion path in the performance of short run industrial operations
… unnecessary motions and to increase the efficiency of performing the remaining motions may cause considerable increases in labor productivity without unreasonable speed up. This latter method of increasing efficiency is known by various names, some of the more common of which are motion …

The Impact of Environmental Variables in Efficiency Analysis: A fuzzy clustering-DEA Approach
… et al, 1978) is a technique used to evaluate the relative efficiency of any process or an organization. The efficiency evaluation is relative, which means it is compared with other processes or organizations. In real life situations different processes or units seldom operate in similar …

Nonparametric multivariate multisample tests of the location problem and multivariate regression based on directions of data
… all of these tests share the same asymptotic relative efficiency with respect to conventional parametric multivariate one, two and multisample tests, respectively, under normality.

Factoring in Brazil: An Information Asymmetry Approach
… using the assertion that factors take both the relative efficiency in factoring and the spread between the seller and the factor's discount rates, we can offer an alternative explanation for the apparent paradox between the need to reduce risk exposure and the choice of no-recourse factoring for …
