A Student’s Guide to Statistics for Analysis of Cross Tabulations
Cross tabulations of qualitative data are a fundamental tool of empirical research. Their interpretation in terms of testing hypotheses requires a number of relatively simple concepts in statistical analysis that derive from probability theory. When strictly independent events having two characteristics that are independently defined are tabulated in a contingency table, the laws of probability...
متن کاملA multivariate analysis of family data.
The authors describe the application of multivariate analysis to the problem of estimating intra-family correlations and testing them for statistical significance. This is illustrated by a re-analysis of survey data collected by Miall and Oldham (Clin Sci 1958;17:459-87) on the familial aggregation of blood pressure. The multivariate analysis provides collective tests of significance for parent...
متن کاملTesting for Significance of Increased Correlation with Human Judgment
Automatic metrics are widely used in machine translation as a substitute for human assessment. With the introduction of any new metric comes the question of just how well that metric mimics human assessment of translation quality. This is often measured by correlation with human judgment. Significance tests are generally not used to establish whether improvements over existing methods such as B...
متن کاملOn the Blocks of Interpoint Distances
We study the blocks of interpoint distances, their distributions, correlations, independence and the homogeneity of their total variances. We discuss the exact and asymptotic distribution of the interpoint distances and their average under three models and provide connections between the correlation of interpoint distances with their vector correlation and test of sphericity. We discuss testing...
متن کاملStatistical significance of sequential firing patterns in multi-neuronal spike trains.
Sequential firings with fixed time delays are frequently observed in simultaneous recordings from multiple neurons. Such temporal patterns are potentially indicative of underlying microcircuits and it is important to know when a repeatedly occurring pattern is statistically significant. These sequences are typically identified through correlation counts. In this paper we present a method for as...
