摘要
An explicit solution is given to the problem of assigning relative lengths to the tests of a battery and to determining the corresponding regression weights so as to maximize the multiple correlation with a specified criterion when the total testing time is fixed. Uniqueness of the obtained solution is proven. A solution algorithm is given for cases in which some of the testing times are zero. Some numerical examples are given. © 1968.
