Abstract

Performance of biological entities are defined, in general by k inter-dependent traits whose error variances are heterogeneous. A method of arriving at "Performance Scores" for the entities along with a multivariate test of significance of k-trait differences is described. They are used to compute, for each entity, a "Performance Index" on which a ranking of the relative performance is obtained. The improvement in the present method over an earlier one is illustrated with a numerical example.
