The fixed-effects model of analysis of variance applies to situations in which the experimenter applies one or more treatments to the subjects of the experiment to see if the response variable values change.

* Multivariate analysis of variance ( MANOVA ) is used when there is more than one response variable.

The Dictionary of American Hymnology claims it is included in more than a thousand published hymnals, and recommends its use for " occasions of worship when we need to confess with joy that we are saved by God's grace alone ; as a hymn of response to forgiveness of sin or as an assurance of pardon ; as a confession of faith or after the sermon.

The result is a very balanced tone, comparable to the 00 but with greater volume and dynamic range and slightly more low-end response, without sacrificing the ergonomics of the classical style, making these body styles very popular.

In ultra high fidelity amplifier design, the amp's frequency response should extend considerably beyond this ( one or more octaves either side ) and might have points < 10 Hz and >.
