 Statistical Texts for Mixed Linear Models By Andre I. Khuri, Thomas Mathew, Bimal K. Sinha(auth.) 1998 | 370 Pages | ISBN: 0471156531 | PDF | 14 MB An advanced discussion of linear models with mixed or random effects. In recent years a breakthrough has occurred in our ability to draw inferences from exact and optimum tests of variance component models, generating much research activity that relies on linear models with mixed and random effects. This volume covers the most important research of the past decade as well as the latest developments in hypothesis testing. It compiles all currently available results in the area of exact and optimum tests for variance component models and offers the only comprehensive treatment for these models at an advanced level. Statistical Tests for Mixed Linear Models:Combines analysis and testing in one self-contained volume. Describes analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures in balanced and unbalanced data situations. Examines methods for determining the effect of imbalance on data analysis. Explains exact and optimum tests and methods for their derivation. Summarizes test procedures for multivariate mixed and random models. Enables novice readers to skip the derivations and discussions on optimum tests. Offers plentiful examples and exercises, many of which are numerical in flavor. Provides solutions to selected exercises. Statistical Tests for Mixed Linear Models is an accessible reference for researchers in analysis of variance, experimental design, variance component analysis, and linear mixed models. It is also an important text for graduate students interested in mixed models.Content: Chapter 1 Nature of Exact and Optimum Tests in Mixed Linear Models (pages 1-18): Chapter 2 Balanced Random and Mixed Models (pages 19-52): Chapter 3 Measures of Data Imbalance (pages 53-94): Chapter 4 Unbalanced One?Way and Two?Way Random Models (pages 95-118): Chapter 5 Random Models with Unequal Cell Frequencies in the Last Stage (pages 119-140): Chapter 6 Tests in Unbalanced Mixed Models (pages 141-171): Chapter 7 Recovery of Inter?block Information (pages 172-205): Chapter 8 Split?Description Designs Under Mixed and Random Models (pages 206-235): Chapter 9 Tests Using Generalized P?Values (pages 236-255): Chapter 10 Multivariate Mixed and Random Models (pages 256-296):  Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide, Fifth Edition By Bruce R. Hopkins(auth.) 2009 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 0470397934 | PDF | 5 MB Nonprofits must comply with stringent federal and state regulations due to their special tax-exempt status; the government's ultimate threat is revocation of a nonprofit's tax-exempt status, which usually means the nonprofit's demise.

Sour Gas and Related Technologies By 2012 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0470948140 | PDF | 13 MB Carbon dioxide has been implicated in the global climate change, and CO2 sequestration is a technology being explored to curb the anthropogenic emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. The injection of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has the duel benefit of sequestering the CO2 and extending the life of some older fields.

Solutions to Climate Change Challenges in the Built Environment By 2012 | 351 Pages | ISBN: 140519507X | PDF | 4 MB The multi-disciplinary perspective provided here offers a strategic view on built environment issues and improve understanding of how built environment activities potentially induce global warming and climate change. It also highlights solutions to these challenges. Solutions to Climate change Challenges in the Built Environment helps develop an appreciation of the diverse themes of the climate change debate across the built environment continuum. A wide perspective is provided through contributions from physical, environmental, social, economic and political scientists. This strategic view on built environment issues will be useful to researchers as well as policy experts and construction practitioners wanting a holistic view. This book clarifies complex issues around climate change and follows five main themes: climate change experiences; urban landscape development; urban management issues; measurement of impact; and the future. Chapters are written by eminent specialists from both academic and professional backgrounds. The main context for chapters is the developed world but the discussion is widened to incorporate regional issues. The book will be valuable to researchers and students in all the built environment disciplines, as well as to practitioners involved with the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, and government organisations developing and implementing climate change policy.Content: Chapter 1 Introductory Insights to Climate Change Challenges (pages 1-9): Felix N.

Hammond  Should I Fall by Scott Shepherd English | July 19, 2022 | ISBN: 1613163126 | True EPUB | 312 pages | 0.5 MB A retired Scotland Yard Inspector races to prove the innocence of a falsely accused fugitive―his daughter's fiancee―in this whodunnit from "a marvellous storyteller" (Michael Koryta).  Short-Run SPC for Manufacturing and Quality Professionals English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032249900 | 99 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB On the manufacturing shop floor, the principle of "value comes from the production of parts rather than charts" crucially applies when using practical statistical process control (SPC). The production worker should need to enter only a sample's measurements to get immediately actionable information as to whether corrective action (e.g., as defined by a control plan's reaction plan) is necessary for an out-of-control situation, and should not have to perform any calculations, draw control charts, or use sophisticated statistical software. This book's key benefit for readers consists of spreadsheet-deployable solutions with all the mathematical precision of a vernier along with the simplicity of a stone ax.  Short Textbook of Endodontics English | 2016 | ISBN: 9352501217 | 532 Pages | PDF (True) | 157 MB In addition to incorporating the new developments in Endodontics, Short Textbook of Endodontics has been designed to cover each and every aspect of Endodontics in a concise yet comprehensive manner. Considering the fact that time is a critical factor in today's competitive and busy world, there is no doubt that reading big fat textbooks to get through the examinations is an uphill task for the students. However, remembering the information is important and this requires repeated reading and revision. This book is expected to make reading Endodontics interesting and a fun-filled experience through the use of different memory improvement techniques. Purpose of this book is not to serve as replacement of standard textbook but to complement the textbook and be used solely for revision. |
