Hydrofoils for the Fisheries Law Enforcement Mission of the U.S. Coast Guard, Appendixes Describing Methodology
March 1, 1976
This volume describes in detail some of the methodology used in the analyses presented in volume I, including: the application of the Navy Billet Cost Model for the computation of Coast Guard personnel costs; the methods used to compute the cost/effectiveness of hydrofoils and various conventional Coast Guard resources in performing a variety of fisheries law enforcement tasks; and the computer model developed to compute the possible contribution to SAR of hydrofoils engaged in a primary fisheries law enforcement role.

Chronological Ordering of Archeological Deposits by the Minimum Path Length Method
June 1, 1974
A new method for ordering archeological deposits, called the minimum path length method, is introduced and discussed in relation to previous work on the problem. Among it's advantages are easy computability, independence of input order, and minimization of reasonably intuitive function of the similarity matrix. Also when the similarity matrix is a Robinson matrix, (which is 'perfect' data for this problem) the minimum path length permutation yields the Robinson order (which is the 'correct' order for a Robinson matrix.)
