Certain Statistical Considerations in Patch Testing1

Automated Behavioral Regression Testing1

When a program is modified during software evolution, developers typically run the new version of the program against its existing test suite to validate that the changes made on the program did not introduce unintended side effects (i.e., regression faults). This kind of regression testing can be effective in identifying some regression faults, but it is limited by the quality of the existing ...

Statistical Considerations in Bulk Sampling

Statistical Considerations for Agroforestry Studies

Statistical topics that related to agroforestry studies are discussed. These included study objectives, populations of interest, sampling schemes, sample sizes, estimation vs. hypothesis testing, and P-values. In addition, a relatively new and very much improved histogram display is described. As the title implies, I would like to discuss various statistical topics that relate to agroforestry s...

Statistical and Adaptive Patch-based Image Denoising

Basic statistical considerations in virological experiments.

All too frequently, authors who submit manuscripts to the Journal of Virology, and indeed to most journals, are surprised to find that the reviewers do not share the authors’ view of their data and, as a result, do not feel that the conclusions of the manuscript are valid. Where authors see a significant difference in infectivity or a significant difference in the intensity of a band on a gel, ...
