This study developed an extension of the Hollander and Sethuraman (1978) statistic (B2 ) for testing discordance among intra-block rankings of K elements for multiple groups (J ≥ 2) of raters. B2 was demonstrated to be equivalent to the Pillai-Bartlett trace (V ) from a multivariate profile analysis performed on the ranks such that B2 = V (N - 1) Results confirmed the utility of B2 as an omnibus test of interaction (i.e., discordance) among intra-block ranks and demonstrated that it was more powerful than the multivariate approach to ranked data suggested by Serlin and Marascuilo (1983) . An extension of the Friedman (1937) two-way ANOVA for intra-block ranks was also developed. The adequacy of these procedures for testing interactions in multiple group repeated measures designs was investigated. The Friedman model demonstrated adequate statistical properties only when covariance matrices were spherical. Results also demonstrated that the Hollander-Sethuraman model was useful in testing interaction contrasts.

A Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to investigate the relative power of eight tests for sphericity in randomized block designs. Box’s (1954) epsilon values º = .35, .55, .75, .80, .85, .90, .95, and 1.00 were used to quantify departures from sphericity for rank-1 population covariance matrices of dimension p = 3, 5, 7, and 9. Sample covariance matrices were generated for samples of size n = 10, 15, 20, and 30. The locally best invariant test demonstrated substantial power to detect departures from sphericity—regardless of p— for both small and large samples for rank-1 alternatives. Recommendations are made regarding the use of preliminary tests.

The use of survey experiments has surged in political science. The most common design is the between-subjects design in which the outcome is only measured posttreatment. This design relies heavily on recruiting a large number of subjects to precisely estimate treatment effects. Alternative designs that involve repeated measurements of the dependent variable promise greater precision, but they are rarely used out of fears that these designs will yield different results than a standard design (e.g., due to consistency pressures). Across six studies, we assess this conventional wisdom by testing experimental designs against each other. Contrary to common fears, repeated measures designs tend to yield the same results as more common designs while substantially increasing precision. These designs also offer new insights into treatment effect size and heterogeneity. We conclude by encouraging researchers to adopt repeated measures designs and providing guidelines for when and how to use them.

In repeated measures studies how observations change over time is often of prime interest. Modelling this time effect in the context of discrimination, is the objective of this article. We study the problem of classification with multiple q-variate observations with time effect on each individual. The covariance matrices as well as mean vectors are mordelled respectively to accommodate the correlation between the successive repeated measures and to describe the time effects. Computation schemes for maximum likelihood estimation of required population parameters are provided.
