Communicating statistical results is in my opinion just as important as performing the statistics. Often effect sizes may seem technical to clinicians but putting them into context often helps and ...
Abstract: A classic problem in statistics is the estimation of the expectation of random variables from samples. This gives rise to the tightly connected problems of deriving concentration ...
Introduction Reference intervals and reference curves provide clinicians with a point of reference when evaluating patients’ laboratory test results. In practical applications, the 2.5th and 97.5th ...
In this paper we discuss the properties of confidence intervals for regression parameters based on robust standard errors. We discuss the motivation for a modification suggested by Bell and McCaffrey ...
Abstract: In threshold-based anomaly detection, we want to tune the threshold of a detector to achieve an acceptable false alarm rate. However, tuning the threshold is often a non-trivial task due to ...
In this study, we deliberately concentrated our discussion on the CI of the mean of the population because this is the most common CI used in Psychology, as represented in the Statistical textbooks ...
Randomized controlled trials are central to the scientific process, but they can be costly. For example, a clinical trial may assign patients to treatments that are detrimental to them. Adaptive ...
The coefficient of determination, the , is often used to measure the variance explained by an affine combination of multiple explanatory covariates. An attribution of this explanatory contribution to ...
