TESTS OF HYPOTHESES INVOLVING DESIRABILITY RELATIONS

摘要

In a number of engineering and industrial situations it is necessary to specify the value of several parameters in order to describe a product adequately. Furthermore, estimation of these parameters may require that more than one variable be measured, the variables not necessarily being independent.nIt is the purpose of this report to discuss the problem of testing statistical hypotheses arising from such requirements. In the main, the discussions will have specific reference to a particular application arising in the evaluation of weapons accuracy, but other models will be indicated and, whenever possible, the results will be generalized sufficiently to include them.
