Statistics in respiratory medicine. 2. Repeatability and method comparison.
Repeatability and reference ranges for change A measurement that is totally unrepeatable clearly has no validity. Repeatability, however, or reproducibility, is an ambiguous concept without precise definition. To a clinical chemist it may mean reproducibility of results from an autoanalyser for a single blood sample. A technician may spend hours perfecting a non-automatic technique. But if two ...
متن کاملTopics in Non - Parametric Statistics
The subject of Nonparametric statistics is statistical inference applied to noisy observations of infinite-dimensional “parameters” like images and time-dependent signals. This is a mathematical area on the border between Statistics and Functional Analysis, the latter name taken in its “literal” meaning – as geometry of spaces of functions. What follows is the 8-lecture course given by the auth...
متن کاملA Comparison of Parametric and Non-Parametric Methods Applied to a Likert Scale
A trenchant and passionate dispute over the use of parametric versus non-parametric methods for the analysis of Likert scale ordinal data has raged for the past eight decades. The answer is not a simple "yes" or "no" but is related to hypotheses, objectives, risks, and paradigms. In this paper, we took a pragmatic approach. We applied both types of methods to the analysis of actual Likert data ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Block and Semi - Parametric Bootstrap 1 Methods for Variance Estimation in Spatial Statistics
8 Efron (1979) introduced the bootstrap method for independent data but it can not be easily applied to spatial data because of their dependency. For spatial data that are correlated in terms of their locations in the underlying space the moving block bootstrap method is usually used to estimate the precision measures of the estimators. The precision of the moving block bootstrap estimators is ...
