The sensitivity of a measurement technique is defined to be its ability to detect differences among the treatments in a fixed effects design, or the presence of a between treatments component of variance in a random effects design. Consider an experiment, consisting of two identical subexperiments, designed specifically for the purpose of comparing two measurement techniques. It is assumed that the techniques of analysis of variance are applicable in analyzing the data obtained from the two measurement techniques. The subexperiments may have either fixed or random treatment effects in either one-way or general block designs. It is assumed that the experiment yields bivariate observations from the two measurement methods which may or may not be independent. Likelihood ratio tests are used in the various settings of this dissertation to both extend current techniques and provide alternative methods for comparing the sensitivities of experiments. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-09, Section: B, page: 3117. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
