Some Statistical Analyses of CHI
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In this paper I show a variety of ways to represent and think about statistical aspects of CHI and its sister conferences. In particular, I look at author counts, gender analysis, and representations of repeat authors. I use these visualizations to motivate questions about what the preferred state of CHI should be. For example, should we strive for gender equality at CHI, and if so, why, and if not, why not? Should we encourage the current trend of increasing number of authors per paper, or might we be losing something in that process? I do not hope to answer these questions, but rather to encourage their discussion.

Plant selection for ethnobotanical uses on the Amalfi Coast (Southern Italy)
BACKGROUND Many ethnobotanical studies have investigated selection criteria for medicinal and non-medicinal plants. In this paper we test several statistical methods using different ethnobotanical datasets in order to 1) define to which extent the nature of the datasets can affect the interpretation of results; 2) determine if the selection for different plant uses is based on phylogeny, or oth...
متن کاملAutomatic Modeling of Laser Point Clouds by Statistical Analysis of Surface Curvature Values
Laser scanning measurements are characterized by errors of different kind and simplified analytical models are normally applied to estimate the differential terms used to locally compute the object surface curvature values. The paper synthesizes the statistical analyses of the non parametric model applied, and of the Gaussian K and mean H local curvatures values, as already proposed by the auth...
متن کاملStatistical Reanalysis of Jewish Priests’ and Non- Priests’ Haplotypes Using Exact Methods
Researchers in an article appearing in Nature used asymptotic (i.e., large sample) chi-square tests in analyzing haplotypes of Y chromosomes using the polymerase chain reaction applied to genomic DNA from male Israeli, North American, and British Jews. The use of classical methods for analyzing extremely sparse contingency tables is frequently done, but with the advent of statistical software c...
متن کاملUsing the Statistical Analysis of Carbon Nano-tubes Dispersion in Bitumen Employing MINITAB Software
Nowadays, utilisation of Nano-materials as one of the most recent methods of bitumen modification has attracted attention of many researchers. However, not enough research has been pursued on their mixing with bitumen, because of their dimensions and specific properties. In this study, the carbon Nano-tubes were mixed with bitumen using different mixers and some images were recorded employing a...
متن کاملSOME THEORY AND PRACTICE OF STATISTICS by Howard G. Tucker CHAPTER 10. NONPARAMETRIC STATISTICAL INFERENCE
10.1 The Chi-square Goodness of Fit Test. The general area of nonparametric statistical inference deals with statistical procedures such as hypothesis testing, point estimation and confidence intervals in problems where the parent distribution has no known functional form. For one reason or another, the chi-square goodness of fit test is considered to be in this area, and so we present it here....
