Procedure Based on Sensitivity Data for Testing for the Equality of Two Means.

摘要

Sensitivity testing is commonly applied to testing situations in which a test item either responds or does not respond to a certain stress level. Thus, at the end of a test, the experimenter does not know the exact minimum stress level required to make the test unit respond. Several testing and analyzing procedures have been developed to make estimates of the parameters of the stress level distribution. In this paper we give a procedure based on sensitivity data for testing for the equality of the means of two populations along with power curves for three different testing situations. 8 refs., 3 figs.
