UNDRAINED STRENGTH INTERRELATIONSHIPS AMONG CIUC, UU, AND UC TESTS. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

A discussion of a paper with the aforementioned title by Chen and Kulhawy, published in this journal (Volume 119, Number 11, November 1993), is presented. The discussion focuses on the classic regression model based on the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. Specifically, Cherubini states that in some figures, OLS assumptions are violated, which indicates that different statistical methods would be more appropriate. Discussion is followed by closure from the author.
