There are many nonparametric tests available for the analysis of k independent samples. For example, the Kruskal—Wallis test (Wilcoxon rank sum test when k = 2) is widely used for detecting location ...

We determined the value of soil test information for potassium (K) in upland cotton production using the linear response plateau (LRP) and linear response stochastic plateau (LRSP) functions. A ...

Electronic preloading of rack-and-pinion drives yields backlash-free motion with minimal friction, improving precision and efficiency. • Rack-and-pinion actuators can have accelerations and speeds ...
