Central limit theorem: the cornerstone of modern statistics [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2017
According to the central limit theorem, the means of a random sample of size, n, from a population with mean, µ, and variance, σ2, distribute normally with mean, µ, and variance, σ2n.

Possibilities of Practical Use of Historical Distributions of Ash, Sulfur and Mercury Contents in Commercial Steam Coal of the USCB

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
In the process of extracting hard coal, extensive databases are created on its quality parameters. A statistical assessment was made of the ash, sulfur, and mercury content of commercial coals produced in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB).

Normality assessment, few paradigms and use cases

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2022
Background: The importance of applying the normality tests is underlined by the way of continuing the statistical protocol for numerical data within inferential statistics, respectively by the parametric or non-parametric tests that we will apply further

Cluster permutation analysis for EEG series based on non-parametric Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney statistical tests

open access: yesSoftwareX, 2022
Cluster-based permutation tests are widely used in neuroscience studies for the analysis of high-dimensional electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP) data as it may address the multiple comparison problem without reducing the ...

On weighted parametric tests

open access: yes, 2016
We describe a general framework for weighted parametric multiple test procedures based on the closure principle. We utilize general weighting strategies that can reflect complex study objectives and include many procedures in the literature as special ...
