TESTING WHETHER NEW IS BETTER THAN USED OF A SPECIFIED AGE
Description:
This research contributes to the theory and methods of testing hypotheses for classes of life distributions. Two classes of life distributions considered in this dissertation are: (1) The New Better Than Used (NBU) Class: The life... The NBU and NBU-t(, 0) classes have dual classes (New Worse Than Used and New Worse Than Used At t(, 0), respectively) defined by reversing the inequality. The NBU-t(, 0) class is a new class of life distributions and contains the NBU class. We study the basic properties of the NBU-t(, 0) class and propose a test of H(, 0): F(x+t(, 0))(' )=(' )F(x)F(t(, 0)) for all x (GREATERTHEQ) 0, versus H(, A... We extend our test of H(, 0) versus H(, A) to accommodate randomly censored data. For the censored data situation our test is based on the statistic (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) where F is the Kaplan-Meier (1958, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 53, 457-481) estimator of(' )F. Under mild regularity conditions on the amount of censoring, a consistent test of H(, A) for the randomly censored model is obtained. In Chapter III we develop a two-sample NBU test of the null hypothesis that two distributions F and G are equal, versus the alternative that F is "more NBU" than is G. Our test is based on the statistic (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) where m and n are the sample sizes from F and G, and F(, m) and G(, n) are the empirical distributions of F and G. Asymptotic normality of T(, m, n), suitably normalized, is a direct consequence of Hoeffding's (1948, Ann. Math. Statist. 19, ... Our test of H(, A) utilizes the Kaplan-Meier estimator. However, there are other possible estimators of the survival function for the randomly censored model. . . . (Author's abstract exceeds stipulated maximum length....

THE EFFECTS OF READABILITY AND MACROSIGNALS ON THE COMPREHENSION AND RECALL OF INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT
Description:
This study investigated the effects of macrosignals, readability level, and training in a reading strategy on 241 high school students' comprehension and recall of a reading passage. Half of the students studied a reading strategy that uses macrosignals to enhance comprehension and aid recall. The remaining participants received instruction on conversions in the metric system. One week after the instruction, the students read one of four versions of the experimental reading passage about the Stone Ages: high readability/with macrosignals, high readability/without macrosignals, low readability/with macrosignals... The with-macrosignals versions included title, headings and subheadings, topic sentences, prequestions, introduction, and summaries. The without macrosignals versions included none of these textual cues. The high readability version was... After the 30-minute period allowed for reading the passage, the students responded to the "Ease of Reading Scale" on which they reported symptoms of comprehension and lack of comprehension. Then the students answered twenty multiple... A multiple regression analysis revealed no interactions between treatments or between treatments and reading abilities. The analysis also indicated that the macrosignals and training in the reading strategy had no significant effects on... Macrosignals may have failed to have an effect because students possessed enough prior knowledge and necessary schemata to construct the relationship between their existing knowledge and the details of the passage. The high readability... The attribute variables (prior knowledge and reading ability) had the greatest influence on comprehension scores, an intermediate effect on delayed recall scores, and the least influence on students' reported ease in reading.

AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE ABILITY OF CERTAIN MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES TO ENHANCE MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL FORECASTS OF SALES AND EARNINGS
Description:
The purpose of this study was to explore whether macroeconomic prediction models (which incorporated firm specific, general economy, and industry predictor variables) could provide predictions which consistently have greater accuracy... Management's forecasting ability was tested against forecasts of five prediction models which have been used by previous researchers. A sixth prediction model, the macroeconomic model, was also tested. Each prediction model was generated using historical data up to the year of the management forecast. Forecasted amounts for the firm specific variable, GNP variable, and industry variables were inserted into the estimated forecasting... The forecasts from this double prediction process, along with those of management, were compared to the actual outcome by using the absolute percentage error. Non-parametric statistical tests were used to test the null hypothesis of no difference in forecasting performance. The empirical results of this inquiry showed little significant differences among the prediction models. However, management's forecasts were significantly more accurate than forecasts produced by any of the prediction models.
ASPECTS OF PIRANDELLISM IN SAMUEL BECKETT'S "EN ATTENDANT GODOT" AND "FIN DE PARTIE"
Description:
This study proposes to show that Pirandellian echos abound in Samuel Beckett's dramatic works, especially in En Attendant Godot and Fin de partie. Pirandello and Beckett both explore a new consciousness concerning the relationship of man... Three aspects of Pirandellism are analyzed: reality of the unreal, comedy of surface appearance, and paradox of alienation. These elements constitute respectively the three chapters of this study. To illustrate the Pirandellian dimension... Chapter One shows how in the works of both Pirandello and Beckett the mind is seen in multiple form thereby making it difficult for man to distinguish between the real and the unreal. The chapter also explores the playwrights' universe... Chapter Two presents man in his comic incongruity and examines the tedium of existence which lies beneath the surface appearance, namely: human incommunicability, suffering, loneliness, and isolation. The last Chapter discusses the... In addition to a detailed analysis of Pirandellism in Beckett's works, this study deals with the theatrical links between the two playwrights. These links will be explained in terms of the thinning of the line between the stage and the... The thesis aims neither to force comparison nor to study a line of influences. It rather hopes to provide new interest and focus for studying and understanding Beckett.
