Predictor Sort Sampling, Tight T 'S, and the Analysis of Covariance
预测变量排序抽样、过度集中的 t 统计量与协方差分析
In this article we revisit a method of sample allocation that has long been known to statisticians and has recently been “discovered” by wood strength researchers. The method allocates experimental units to blocks on the basis of the values of a variable, x, that is known to be correlated with the response, y We call this allocation method “predictor sort sampling.” We demonstrate that the associated paired T analysis recommended in statistical texts is deficient if the…
