For multi-subject experiments with all factors repeated (a single independent group of subjects), three multi-subject behavior functions are identified which are logically based on Shine's actualized and pure single-subject behavior functions. These three multi-subject behavior functions are discussed and methods for statistically analyzing them are indicated. The basic ideas are extended to multi-subject experiments with some factors nonrepeated (several independent groups of subjects).
