A method requiring minimal computational effort is presented for transforming ordered residuals for purposes of testing the correctness of a regression model. The method maintains the same logical ordering in the transformed residuals as that of the original residuals and is suitable for either correlated or uncorrelated data. (Author/BS)

The concept of change is related to suppressor variable conditions in a least square regression model. The domain of conditions necessary for a weighted change score composite to emerge as an underlying construct is mapped and the information loss through arbitrary assignment of weights to a change composite is explored.

It is argued here that the choice of the appropriate method for calculating least squares analysis of variance with unequal sample sizes depends upon the question the experimenter wants to answer about the data. The different questions reflect different null hypotheses. An example is presented using two alternative methods. (Author/BW)

An integrated study of Shine's actualized and pure single-subject behavior functions can produce more information than studying only one function. After summarizing the mathematics behind Shine's viewpoint, an ordinary regression analysis approach to the actualized behavior function is integrated with a time-series analysis approach to the pure…

When sample sizes and/or X intervals are unequal, the analysis of variance computations for trend analysis become quite complicated. This article shows how multiple regression/correlation analysis may be applied in order to accomplish with great simplicity trend analysis under "irregular" conditions. (Author/RL)
