Analysis of the Initial Human Accelerator Runs to Provide Information for Use in Injury Prediction Model Development. I. Discussion.

摘要

The proposed analysis described in this technical note consists of five steps. They are: (1) Postulate an initial set of variables describing head dynamic response. (2) Eliminate variables of marginal potential using the ratio of between-cell variance to within-cell variance as a criterion. (3) Perform a principal components analysis on the retained subset of variables in order to identify a set of transformed variables accounting for large between-cell variation. (4) Conduct an analysis of variance on each transformed variable. (5) Examine residuals to yield additional information.
