This paper introduces the two-sample Anderson-Darling (AD) test of goodness of fit as a tool for comparing distributions, response time distributions in particular. We discuss the problematic use of pooling response times across participants, and alternative tests of distributions, the most common being the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff (KS) test. We compare the KS test and the AD test, presenting conclu...

The objective of this research was to develop a mathematical and statistical model for long-term prediction. Extreme Value Theory (EVT) applied analyze the appropriate distribution by using peak-over-threshold approach with Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) predict daily extreme precipitation temperatures in eight provinces located upper northeastern region Thailand. Generally, each provinc...

many commonly used statistical methods require that the population distribution be nearly normal. unfortunately, in some papers the one-sample kolmogorov-smirnov test has been used for testing normality while the assumptions of applying this test are not satisfied. to conduct this test, it is assumed that the population distribution is fully specified. in practical situation where the mean and ...

Change-Point (CP) detection has attracted considerable attention in the fields of data mining and statistics; it is very meaningful to discuss how to quickly and efficiently detect abrupt change from large-scale bioelectric signals. Currently, most of the existing methods, like Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistic and so forth, are time-consuming, especially for large-scale datasets. In this paper...

OBJECTIVES To assess associations between the launch of the National Dementia Strategy (NDS) and antipsychotic prescribing in long-term residential care (LTC) in England. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective analysis of prescribing patterns in 616 LTC institutions (31 619 residents) following launch of the NDS, using information from electronic medicines management system. PRIMARY AND SEC...

BACKGROUND To investigate the intricate nervous processes involved in many biological activities by computerized image analysis, accurate and reproducible labeling and measurement of neurites are prerequisite. We have developed an automated neurite analysis method to assist this task. METHODS Our approach can be considered as automated with certain user interaction in setting initial paramete...

Sustainable traffic behaviour is increasing in importance as volume rises due to population growth. In this paper, a model for flow at stationary bottleneck developed determine the parameters that cause congestion. Towards goal, density, speed, and delay were acquired during peak off-peak periods morning afternoon Peshawar, KPK, Pakistan. The have high densities, low speeds, considerable delays...
