Minute-Accumulating Analysis and life testing

For analyzing life-test data and estimating the length-of-life distribution function, Taguchi recommends the method of Minute-Accumulating Analysis (or 'minimum-unit' analysis), through the categorization of the available data into a binary form '1-0' ('alive-dead'). In this paper we investigate the advantages and drawbacks of Minute Analysis using an actual case study.

Analysis Of Variance In A Descriptive Context: A Geographic Example

This paper is designed to introduce students in the 16–19 group to Analysis of Variance. It takes as its subject a political-geographic issue, namely electoral districting, or gerrymandering. The topic of gerrymandering is outlined, and the distribution of boundaries for the 1979 EEC elections in London examined. Different gerrymanders are then explored, using Analysis of Variance to describe various types of solution, according to the distribution of the Labour vote both within and between constituencies.
