First we test the accuracy of empirical methods for estimating sex

Although direct scaling methods have been widely used in the behavioral sciences since the 1950s, theoretical approaches which could clarify the implicit assumptions inherent in Stevens' ratio scaling approach were developed only recently. Today, it is generally accepted that the axioms of commutativity and multiplicativity are ...

A simple modification of the chromotrophic acid method that will give accurate air monitoring data for formaldehyde in the presence of a two-fold concentration of phenol is presented. This simple modification of a widely-used method sufficiently reduces the interference due to phenol within the limitations specified, so that formaldehyde monitoring data of ...

We investigate the relative efficiency of thermodynamic integration, three variants of the exponential formula, also referred to as thermodynamic perturbation, and Bennett's acceptance ratio method to compute relative and absolute solvation free energy differences. Our primary goal is the development of efficient protocols that are ...

Results of a study of effects of broad-band noise on speech intelligibility and voice quality are presented, with a comparison of three methods for evaluating speech signals: the Diagnostic Rhyme Test (DRT) for speech intelligibility, the Diagnostic Acceptability Measure (DAM) test for voice quality and acceptability, and the Mean ...

Red-green color vision is based on middle-wavelength- and long-wavelength-sensitive visual pigments encoded by an array of genes on the X chromosome. The numbers and ratios of genes in this cluster were reexamined in men with normal color vision by means of newly refined methods. These methods revealed that many men had more pigment ...

The antiscatter grid is an essential part of modern radiographic systems. Since the introduction of the antiscatter grid, however, there have been few methods proposed for acceptance testing and verification of manufacturer-supplied grid specifications. The grid ratio (r) is an important parameter describing the antiscatter grid ...

Free energy of crystal phases is commonly evaluated by thermodynamic integration (TDI) along a reversible path that involves an external potential. A persistent problem in this method is that a significant hysteresis is observed due to differences in the center of mass position of the crystal phase in the presence and absence of the external potential. To alleviate this ...

The various industrial coal size reduction devices are reviewed with emphasis upon the throughput rates, power requirements and product size consist. Throughput rates are dependent upon the grindability of the material, flow characteristics of the material, the reduction ratio and efficient feeding of the device. The power draw of a given unit increases as the reduction ...

Computing (ratios of) normalizing constants of probability models is a fundamental computational problem for many statistical and scientific studies. Monte Carlo simulation is an effective technique, especially with complex and high-dimensional models. This paper aims to bring to the attention of general statistical audiences of some effective methods ...

Intending to provide school administrators with technical information to assist in preparing student enrollment projections and techniques in analyzing projections, this paper explores the state of the art, major factors affecting school populations, and the Cohort Survival Ratio Method.
