i=O are displayed for selected values of n and k in Table 1.11 The concrete process for applying this test is then as follows: (a) we fit least squares regression lines to the data according to both the linear and ratio models; (b) we order the absolute values of the residuals from each regression such that the number of peaks will tend to be large if the hypothesis employed in fitting the particular relation (linear or ratio) is false;12 (c) we count the num-
