For a class project about a household thermostat crossover study, a student took these notes:
- Twenty households used an adaptive thermostat schedule and a fixed schedule.
- Each schedule lasted two weeks.
- The order of schedules was randomized by household.
- A one-week return-to-normal period separated the schedules.
- Electricity use was recorded hourly.
- Analysts adjusted comparisons for outdoor temperature.
To describe the process used in a household thermostat crossover study rather than the findings, which choice best uses the notes?
