Abstract

The effect of the median polish procedure on artificial data having known general characteristics, disturbances, and random elements is examined. Monte Carlo experiments were designed for this purpose. The behavior of the fits, residuals, and various accompanying statistics are determined under special controlled conditions. Then, the procedure is applied to selected data sets from the literature utilizing the findings of this study.
