Abstract

The Reverse Threshold Model Theory (RTMT) model was introduced based on limiting factor concepts, but its efficiency compared to the Conventional Model (CM) has not been published. This investigation assessed the efficiency of RTMT compared to CM using computer simulation on the “One Laptop Per Child” computer and a desktop computer. Based on probability values, it was found that RTMT was more efficient than CM among eight treatment combinations and an earlier study verified that RTMT gives complete elimination of random error. Furthermore, RTMT has several advantages over CM and is therefore proposed to be applied to most research data.
