چکیده

We have shown previously that statistical inference enables general conclusions to be drawn from specific data. For example estimating a population’s mean from a sample mean. At first glance this may not appear important. In practice however the ability to make these estimations is fundamental to most medical investigations. These tend to concentrate on dealing with one or more of the following questions:

Comparison of the Alterations of Gene Expression Related to Signaling Pathways of Synthesis and Degradation of Skeletal Muscle Protein Induced by Two Exercise Training Protocols

Background and Objectives: Skeletal muscle mass depends on the balance between synthesis and degradation of muscle protein, which changes with aging and disease. The aim of the present reserch was to examine the effects of two exercise training protocols on alterations of some genes involved in pathways of protein synthesis and degradation in order to achieve a more effective training program i...

A comparison of parametric and non-parametric methods of standardized precipitation index (SPI) in drought monitoring (Case study: Gorganroud basin)

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most common index for drought monitoring. Although the calculation of this index is usually done by using the gamma distribution fitting of precipitation data, studies have shown that for accurate monitoring of drought, the optimal distribution of precipitation in each month should be determined. On the other hand, in non-stationary time series,...

Comparison of Parametric and Non-parametric EEG Feature Extraction Methods in Detection of Pediatric Migraine without Aura

Background: Migraine headache without aura is the most common type of migraine especially among pediatric patients. It has always been a great challenge of migraine diagnosis using quantitative electroencephalography measurements through feature classification. It has been proven that different feature extraction and classification methods vary in terms of performance regarding detection and di...

Comparing two testing procedures in unbalanced two-way ANOVA models under heteroscedasticity‎: Approximate degree of freedom and parametric bootstrap approach

‎The classic F-test is usually used for testing the effects of factors in homoscedastic two-way ANOVA models‎. ‎However‎, ‎the assumption of equal cell variances is usually violated in practice‎. ‎In recent years‎, ‎several test procedures have been proposed for testing the effects of factors‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎the two methods that are approximate degree of freedom (ADF) and parametric bootstr...

Use of Two Smoothing Parameters in Penalized Spline Estimator for Bi-variate Predictor Non-parametric Regression Model

Penalized spline criteria involve the function of goodness of fit and penalty, which in the penalty function contains smoothing parameters. It serves to control the smoothness of the curve that works simultaneously with point knots and spline degree. The regression function with two predictors in the non-parametric model will have two different non-parametric regression functions. Therefore, we...

Non-parametric Methods for Comparing Two Survival Distributions

Survival curves for each group gives comparison at some arbitrary point(s) but it does not provide a comparison of the total survival experience of two groups. So some Non-parametric methods like log rank test, Cox-Mantel test are popular methods used for comparing the survival distribution and also these methods takes whole follow-up period. In this paper non-parametric methods are used for da...
