A note on sampling biases in the Bangladesh mask trial [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A recent cluster trial in Bangladesh randomized 600 villages into 300 treatment/control pairs, to evaluate the impact of an intervention to increase mask-wearing. Data was analyzed in a generalized linear model and significance asserted with parametric tests for the rate of the primary outcome (symptomatic and seropositive for COVID-19) between ...

More accurate tests for the statistical significance of result differences [PDF]
18th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING
2000), pages 947-953, Saarbruecken, Germany, July, 2000, 2000 Statistical significance testing of differences in values of metrics like recall, precision and balanced F-score is a necessary part of empirical natural language processing. Unfortunately, we find in a set of experiments that many commonly used tests often underestimate the significance and so are less likely to detect differences that exist between ...

Estimation of Variances at Different Significance Levels
Biometrical Journal, 1989 AbstractVariance components and their ratios broad‐sense heritability and constancy were estimated for some quantitative traits in northwestern Spain populations of maize. Estimations were carried out at the significance levels of 5% and 25% and without significance limits.

Are University Rankings Statistically Significant? A Comparison among Chinese Universities and with the USA [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Purpose: We address the question of whether differences are statistically significant in the rankings of universities. We propose methods measuring the statistical significance among different universities and illustrate the results by empirical data. Design/methodology/approach: Based on z-testing and overlapping confidence intervals, and using data ...

Ethnic Differences in the Developmental Significance of Parentification [PDF]
Family Process, 2014 Using an ecological framework, this 2-wave longitudinal study examined the effects of parentification on youth adjustment across the transition to adolescence in a high-risk, low-income sample of African American (58%) and European American (42%) mother-child dyads (T1 Mage = 10.17 years, T2 Mage = 14.89 years; 52.4% female).

Comparison of Network Analysis Approaches on EEG Connectivity in Beta during Visual Short-Term Memory Binding Tasks [PDF]
, 2016 We analyse the electroencephalogram signals in the beta band of working memory representation recorded from young healthy volunteers performing several different Visual Short-Term Memory (VSTM) tasks which have proven useful in the assessment of clinical and preclinical Alzheimer's disease. We compare network analysis using Maximum Spanning Trees (MSTs)
