The random coefficient two-stage regression algorithm with the collisional Maxwell-Vlasov constraint is applied to the ITER H-mode confinement database. The data violate the collisional Maxwell-Vlasov constraint at the 10-30% significance level, probably owing to radiation losses. The dimensionally constrained scaling, $\tau_E = 0.07192 M^{1/2}$ $(R/a)^{-0.221} R^{1.568} \kappa^{.3} I_p^{.904} B_t^{.201} \bar{n}^{0.106} P^{-0.493}$, is similar to ITER89P with a slightly stronger size dependence…

Dimensionally Correct Power Law Scaling Expressions for L-mode Confinement
TLDR
The random coefficient two stage regression algorithm is applied to a neutral beam heated limiter subset of the ITER L mode database as well as a combined dataset and finds a scaling similar to Goldston scaling for the NB limiter dataset and a scaled similar to ITER89P for the combined dataset.
