Estimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
متن کاملSensitivity of phylogeny estimation to taxonomic sampling.
Recent studies have shown that addition or deletion of taxa from a data matrix can change the estimate of phylogeny. I used 29 data sets from the literature to examine the effect of taxon sampling on phylogeny estimation within data sets. I then used multiple regression to assess the effect of number of taxa, number of characters, homoplasy, strength of support, and tree symmetry on the sensiti...
متن کاملVisual EDF Software to Check the Normality Assumption
Maria E. Calzada and Stephen M. Scariano Loyola University New Orleans New Orleans, LA 70118 [email protected] Abstract: A host of materials in an introductory level statistics course relies on the “normality assumption.” However, assessing normality is a very subtle and difficult task, even for expert data analysts. To aid our student’s understanding we have written a program that implements a...
متن کاملInsensitivity of Constraint-Based Causal Discovery Algorithms to Violations of the Assumption of Multivariate Normality
Constraint-based causal discovery algorithms, such as the PC algorithm, rely on conditional independence tests and are otherwise independent of the actual distribution of the data. In case of continuous variables, the most popular conditional independence test used in practice is the partial correlation test, applicable to variables that are multivariate Normal. Many researchers assume multivar...
متن کاملValidity of Normality Assumption in CSP Research
There are many new methods for solving constraint satisfaction problems proposed in recent years. Due to their complexity, a theoretical analysis on their average-case behaviours seems to be very difficult. Researchers tend to adopt an empirical approach to evaluate constraint satisfaction techniques. When empirical results are ready, statistical techniques are often employed for analysis. The ...
