The Reliability of Estimated Beta Weights in Multiple Regression Studies
The reliability of beta weights estimated through the multiple regression procedure is defined as the ratio of the variance of the true beta weights to the expected variance of the estimated beta weights. Equivalently, reliability is (…
The Transmission of Control Through Organizational Hierarchy
This paper addresses the problem of control loss in hierarchies. Data on 215 departments(aggregated from 2,363 individual questionnaires) show that Behavior Control and Output Control differ sharply in transmission. Behavior Control shows almost…
A Theoretical Comparison of the Predictive Power of the Multiple Regression and Equal Weighting Procedures
The multiple regression procedure (MRP) is compared with the equal weighting procedure (EWP) which forces the estimated regression weight to be the same for each of the k predictors (independent variables) after orienting each predictor to be in…

Decomposition of a Multi-Period Media Scheduling Model in Terms of Single Period Equivalents
This paper develops a method for choosing advertising media plans for the next T-periods in order to maximize net discounted profits. Using the discrete maximum principle of Optimal Control Theory, it is shown that under…
A Consumer Preference Approach to the Planning of Rural Primary Health Care Facilities
A problem in planning the expansion of a rural primary health-care delivery system is to determine the set of facilities to be added to an existing system so as to maximize the incremental benefit to the community subject to a cost constraint.…
An Alternate Interpretation of the Linear Learning Model of Brand Choice
An Exponential Smoothing Model (ESM) of brand choice is presented which possesses a mathematical structure very similar to that of the Linear Learning Model (LLM) of brand choice. While the LLM is posited on adaptive learning (purchase…
Linear Programming Computational Procedures for Ordinal Regression
The ordinal regression problem is an extension to the standard multiple regression problem in terms of assuming only ordinal properties for the dependent variable (rank order of preferred brands in a product class, academic ranks for…

An Application of Regression Smoothing for Forecasting Customer Utility Bills
This paper develops the methodology for regression smoothing models and then applies it to the problem of forecasting utility usage rates for individual customers in a city in Northern California. A class of models which use regression as a…
