Learned practical guidelines for evaluating Conditional Entropy and Mutual Information in discovering major factors of response-vs-covariate dynamics [PDF]
, 2022 We reformulate and reframe a series of increasingly complex parametric statistical topics into a framework of response-vs-covariate (Re-Co) dynamics that is described without any explicit functional structures. Then we resolve these topics' data analysis tasks by discovering major factors underlying such Re-Co dynamics by only making use of data's ...

Applying Bayesian Analysis Guidelines to Empirical Software Engineering Data: The Case of Programming Languages and Code Quality [PDF]
, 2021 Statistical analysis is the tool of choice to turn data into information, and then information into empirical knowledge. To be valid, the process that goes from data to knowledge should be supported by detailed, rigorous guidelines, which help ferret out issues with the data or model, and lead to qualified results that strike a reasonable balance ...

Teaching at the Intersection of Social Justice, Ethics, and the ASA Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Case studies are typically used to teach 'ethics', but when the content of a course is focused on formulae and proofs, a case analysis and the knowledge, skills, and abilities they require can be distracting. Moreover, case analyses are typically focused narrowly on research issues: obtaining consent, dealing with research team members, and/or research

Association between quality of clinical practice guidelines and citations given to their references [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 It has been suggested that bibliometric analysis of different document types may reveal new aspects of research performance. In medical research a number of study types play different roles in the research process and it has been shown, that the evidence-level of study types is associated with varying citation rates.
