Supernova 1987A Neutrino Signal: Statistical Power of a Small Sample
Of the 20 neutrino events associated with SN1987A, all eight from IMB and four from Kamiokande II have measured energies lying at or above 20 MeV. Unlike the eight lower-energy events, this sample shows strong forward peaking, so that the a priori probability of obtaining a distribution as forward as this from an isotropic mechanism is less than one part in a million. Standard theory expects a ...
متن کاملSample size estimation and statistical power analyses
The concept of sample size and statistical power estimation is now something that Optometrists that want to perform research, whether it be in practice or in an academic institution, cannot simply hide away from. Ethics committees, journal editors and grant awarding bodies are now increasingly requesting that all research be backed up with sample size and statistical power estimation in order t...
متن کاملDomain Adaptation: A Small Sample Statistical Approach
We study the prevalent problem when a test distribution differs from the training distribution. We consider a setting where our training set consists of a small number of sample domains, but where we have many samples in each domain. Our goal is to generalize to a new domain. For example, we may want to learn a similarity function using only certain classes of objects, but we desire that this s...
متن کاملMicroarray experimental design: power and sample size considerations.
Gene expression analysis using high-throughput microarray technology has become a powerful approach to study systems biology. The exponential growth in microarray experiments has spawned a number of investigations into the reliability and reproducibility of this type of data. However, the sample size requirements necessary to obtain statistically significant results has not had as much attentio...
متن کاملSample size and power considerations in network meta-analysis
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Network meta-analysis is becoming increasingly popular for establishing comparative effectiveness among multiple interventions for the same disease. Network meta-analysis inherits all methodological challenges of standard pairwise meta-analysis, but with increased complexity due to the multitude of intervention comparisons. One issue that is now widely recognized in pai...
