The results of an algorithm which is designed to take a set of commonality coefficients, either real or manipulated, and, if possible, produce one or more sets of regressor correlations that are consistent with them are examined. A number of different ways of resolving the higher order commonality values into their lower orders were tried and the…

The multivariate general linear hypothesis (MGLH) has received relatively little utilization in educational research and evaluation. This is surprising in view of the fact that recent publications have made the MGLH tractable by practitioners. This paper seeks to stimulate interest in the MGLH by reviewing recent applications, emphasizing the…

Commonality analysis is an attempt to understand the relative predictive power of the regressor variables, both individually and in combination. The squared multiple correlation is broken up into elements assigned to each individual regressor and to each possible combination of regressors. The elements have the property that the appropriate sums…

Intended as a reference for the convenience of students in sampling, this monograph attempts to express relevant, introductory mathematics and probability in the context of sample surveys. Although some proofs are presented, the emphasis is more on exposition of mathematical language and concepts than on the mathematics per se and rigorous proofs.…

The VARAN (variance Analysis) program is an addition to a series of computer programs for multivariate analysis of variance. The development of VARAN exploits the full linear model. Analysis of variance, univariate and multivariate, is the program's main target. Correlation analysis of all types is available with printout in the vernacular of…
