โœฆ Synopsis

The advent of changing societal priorities stressing the social use of technology is assessed by examining the utilization of microcomputer aids by persons with disabilities. An analysis of the character of such aids, their target population and production sources reveals their use to be restricted to the severely sensory disabled. This small select group represents the market end-user of private manufacturers who dominate the design, production and marketing of such aids. In contrast to broad public funding aimed at subsidizing technology transfer to the disabled, we see the social benefits of computer technology to be restrained and highly focused.

The use of multivariate confidence regions is proposed for the classification of clinical laboratory profiles into diagnostic classes. For this purpose, a multivariate confidence region is developed for each diagnostic class. Three methods (UNEQ, EQ, and SIMCA) are evaluated and compared with classi
