TL;DR: In this paper, the relative amounts spent between 1956 and 1966 on various types of goods and services are estimated for particular points on the scale of household income, and the results suggest that over this period those at the lower end of the income scale have experienced greater price increases than those at upper end, thus increasing the inequality of the distribution of real income.
Abstract: The official Index of Retail Prices measures changes in the total cost of the basket of goods and services purchased by the average household, but the composition of this basket varies significantly with size of household income. The relative amounts spent between 1956 and 1966 on the various types of goods and services are estimated for particular points on the scale of household income. The results suggest that over this period those at the lower end of the income scale have experienced greater price increases than those at the upper end, thus increasing the inequality of the distribution of real income. It also appears that differences in rates of inflation between income classes become larger as income decreases. An analysis with more detailed data should be undertaken to obtain more precise results.

TL;DR: The effects of siting liquefied natural gas storage at strategic points in the system are examined and it is discovered that quite modest storage proposals can increase the security of supply in theSystem threefold.
Abstract: This paper attempts to quantify the relative vulnerability to pipeline breaks of different demand centres in a large‐scale gas‐transmission system. Demand centres remote from the points of supply are found to be the most vulnerable. The effects of siting liquefied natural gas storage at strategic points in the system are examined and it is discovered that quite modest storage proposals can increase the security of supply in the system threefold. No elaborate operational research technique is used and the analyses depend only on simple probability theory. The paper is an illustration of the use of simplifying assumptions to gain insight into a highly intricate problem.

TL;DR: This paper describes an electronic computer program for the analysis of multivariate data that is interactive in the sense that its control structure is designed to facilitate a step‐by‐step process of analysis extending over several computer runs.
Abstract: This paper describes an electronic computer program for the analysis of multivariate data. The program is interactive in the sense that its control structure is designed to facilitate a step‐by‐step process of analysis extending over several computer runs. Especially comprehensive input routines allow the user flexibility in data presentation. A group structure can be imposed and within‐ and between‐group analyses are possible. The program includes all the usual multivariate techniques, but special attention has been paid to providing a wide repertoire of operations useful in multiple‐regression analysis.
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the acceptance sampling of continuously produced product where the response taken from the product is a variable measurement following a normal distribution with unknown mean and variance is presented.
Abstract: A procedure is presented for the acceptance sampling of continuously produced product where the response taken from the product is a variable measurement following a normal distribution with unknown mean and variance. The procedure, which is of the type originally proposed by Beattie, is amenable to destructive testing. It involves essentially a cumulative sum chart with acceptance and rejection zones. Procedures are given for various levels of discrimination between two qualities. The numerical techniques used to obtain them are described.
