I've become alarmed recently at the number of young engineers (i.e. those with less than 5 years of work experience), who seem to have missed the college course on applied probability and don't know ...

Sample size and power calculations are available for one-sample and two-sample paired and independent designs, when the proposed analysis is construction of confidence intervals of a mean (one-sample) ...

In the first article in this series,1 we presented an approach to understanding how to estimate a treatment's effectiveness that covered relative risk reduction, absolute risk reduction and number ...

The following example illustrates how you can construct a bootstrap confidence interval by using the multiple responses feature in PROC TPSPLINE. Numerous epidemiological observations have indicated ...

Sometimes it’s hard to have confidence in science. So many results from published scientific studies turn out to be wrong. Part of the problem is that science has trouble quantifying just how ...

The linkage disequilibrium method is currently the most widely used single sample estimator of genetic effective population size. The commonly used software packages come with two options, referred to ...

A confidence interval is a statistical concept that shows how likely it is that a range based on a sample of a population contains the mean, or the actual figure, for that data set. It’s useful when a ...
