Likert-type item is the most popular response format for collecting data in social, educational, and psychological studies through scales or questionnaires. However, there no consensus on whether parametric non-parametric tests should be preferred when analyzing data. This study examined statistical power of each was analyzed independently survey studies. The main purpose to examine Wilcoxon-Ma...

ion/Flexibility (Wisconsin Card SortingTest; Heaton et al, 1993) The percentage of perseverative errors was used as the central parameter. Statistical analyses Frequency counts and descriptive statistics were calculated for initial basic symptoms, observed and self-perceived psychopathology. Differences in initial psychopathology between those patients at risk who experienced a transition to ps...

The widely-used hydrological procedures for calculating events with T-year return periods from data that follow a Gumbel distribution assume that the data sequence from which the Gumbel distribution is fitted remains stationary in time. If non-stationarity is suspected, whether as a consequence of changes in land-use practices or climate, it is common practice to test the significance of trend ...

We shall prove the equivalence bewteen the convergences of Mann and implicit Mann iterations dealing with various classes of non-Lipschitzian operators.

MOTIVATION Gene set analysis is a popular method for large-scale genomic studies. Because genes that have common biological features are analyzed jointly, gene set analysis often achieves better power and generates more biologically informative results. With the advancement of technologies, genomic studies with multi-platform data have become increasingly common. Several strategies have been pr...
