Though I would share with the groups a number of items. I was given a reference on what is called "The unbounded Write-In scale for desirability". It is a photocopy and the person didn't write the book it came from (a Marketing Stats book I am certain of). The instructions given are as follows:

Inequalities constrains on the coefficients

2000-06-02 Thread Arie Beresteanu
Hi, Estimation of linear (multivariate) regression with equality constrains on the coefficients is a well known problem (at least for me). What about if the constrains are inequalities? More specifically: Y=Xb+e s.t. Qb<=q where Q is a matrix and q is a vector. (for example Y=b0+b1*X1+b2*X2+e

You are doing interesting research, but you should stop believing that there is a statistical "test" out there that will magically reveal the stories hidden in your data. Despite the hype by its proponents I have never been able to use Correspondence Analysis successfully unless I knew in advance
