Statistical Significance Revisited

Statistical significance and clinical significance.

Statistical Sampling Revisited

Auditing standards are undergoing revision in the wake of recent, massive audit failures. Legislative and regulatory bodies are focusing more critically on auditors than ever before. Yet, contemplated revisions to auditing standards leave untouched ambiguities and unresolved issues that have reduced the effectiveness of the authoritative literature for decades. One of the longest-standing issue...

Statistical and Practical Significance of Articles at Sports Biomechanics Conferences

Background. The importance of using statistical approaches has increased and became necessary for researchers and specialists in sports biomechanics because they need more objective and accurate methods to increase knowledge. Objectives. Evaluate the reality of using practical significance in the articles published in scientific conferences in the biomechanical sport. Methods. One hundred twe...

STATISTICAL INTERACTION REVISITED Regina

To have valid meaning, "statistical interaction" must be consistent with biological or physical interaction which is defined as mutual (dependent) action of factors contributing to the response effect. In mathematical and statistical response models the parameter representing interaction depends on the model concerned. Factorial experiments, discrete response, and regression models are discusse...

Quantum Statistical Metastability Revisited

We calculate the decay rate for a state prepared in a thermal density matrix centered on a metastable ground state. We find a rate that is intrinsically time dependent, as opposed to the constant rates of previous works. The rate vanishes at early times, rises to a maximum and eventually falls-off to zero as a consequence of unitary time evolution. Finally, we discuss extensions of this calcula...
