Family ProcessVolume 9, Issue 1 p. 51-68 Dimensions of Early Marriage† ROBERT G. RYDER PH.D., ROBERT G. RYDER PH.D. In early 1961, a study of early marriage was begun at the National Institute of Mental Health. The original strategy and goals of information gathering were formulated by a group consisting of Wells Goodrich, Harold L. Raush, Richard Q. Bell, Paul Blank, John Campbell, Arden A. Flint, Sidney Salus, Walter R. Sceery and Sidney Werkman. During the time that the present data were collected, the study was directed by Wells Goodrich and Harold Raush. Robert Ryder joined the study late in 1961, and subsequently began the analyses reported here. Much is owed Wells Goodrich and Harold Raush for the support and consultation which have influenced both the present analyses and the shape of events since their departure from the project. We wish also to thank Richard Q. Bell for his careful critical readings of this paper. Others whose thoughts and assistance have been most helpful include Paul Blank, John C. Campbell, Arden A. Flint, Howard A. Moss, and Walter R. Sceery. All interviews were conducted by Paul Blank and Walter Sceery. Finally, special thanks are in order for those who administered experimental procedures, coded data, and did the basic hard work that turns protocols into results. They include Josephine Arasteh, Gail Baker, Kay Beckett, Naomi Costello, Elaine Diepenbrock, Donna Erdahl, Blanche Jacobs, and Sylvia Korchin. Gayle Heuston deserves particular gratitude for her work in the computer programming essential to this project.Search for more papers by this author ROBERT G. RYDER PH.D., ROBERT G. RYDER PH.D.

On the Use of Gram-Charlier Series to Represent Noise

The stochastic time series produced by the arrival at random times of identical individual events is considered. It is shown that if the shape of the individual events and of the resulting autocorrelation function and power spectrum are each represented by a Gram-Charlier series, relatively simple relationships exist between the different sequences of coefficients. These relationships are most serviceable when the coefficients of the autocorrelation function are used as the primary quantities. If the band width of the noise is ``moderate,'' the series has a small number of terms and consequently is practical from a computational viewpoint. The formulas are applied to the experimental data of noise produced when current is forced backwards through a silicon crystal. The shape of the individual noise events is determined from a knowledge of the experimental autocorrelation function. As a check on the analysis the power spectrum and the expected number of zeros per second are computed from the Gram-Charlier series and compared with the experimental data.
