BACKGROUND In biomedical research papers, authors often use descriptive statistics to describe the study sample. The standard deviation (SD) describes the variability between individuals in a sample; the standard error of the mean (SEM) describes the uncertainty of how the sample mean represents the population mean. Authors often, inappropriately, report the SEM when describing the sample. As t...

The descriptive statistics for the sella-nasion-A point (SNA) and sella-nasion-B point (SNB) angles computed from a sample of Nubian schoolchildren are presented, by age and sex, and compared with the analogous statistics for American Caucasian schoolchildren.

The typical process for classifying and submitting a newly sequenced virus to the NCBI database involves two steps. First, a BLAST search is performed to determine likely family candidates. That is followed by checking the candidate families with the pairwise sequence alignment tool for similar species. The submitter's judgment is then used to determine the most likely species classification. T...

All those concerned with the decision-making, they take better decisions when they use all the available information with practical and interpretable way. Statistics provide methods for data collection and analysis to support the decision-making. Statistics is the Science of collection, analysis and interpretation of observed data reported in attributes of natural or social phenomena. Utilizati...

In this research work, we have developed a bio inspired PSO algorithm in combination with descriptive statistics equation based model. In this work, based on the mathematical relationship between the Entropy, Uniformity and the threshold measured in terms of intensity. It is found using box plot and curve fitting techniques to calculate automatic input threshold for PSO. The results show highly...

BACKGROUND We live in an era of explosive data generation that will continue to grow and involve all industries. One of the results of this explosion is the need for newer and more efficient data analytics procedures. Traditionally, data analytics required a substantial background in statistics and computer science. In 2015, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) released the IBM Wat...
