Statistical mechanical foundations of power-law distributions [PDF]
The foundations of the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) distributions for describing equilibrium statistical mechanics of systems are examined. Broadly, they fall into: (i) probabilistic paaroaches based on the principle of equal a priori probability (counting ...

Low statistical power in biomedical science: a review of three human research domains [PDF]
Studies with low statistical power increase the likelihood that a statistically significant finding represents a false positive result. We conducted a review of meta-analyses of studies investigating the association of biological, environmental or ...

A Theoretical Framework for Evaluating Psychiatric Research Strategies
One of the major goals of basic studies in psychiatry is to find etiological mechanisms or biomarkers of mental disorders. A standard research strategy to pursue this goal is to compare observations of potential factors from patients with those from ...

On the Power of Statistical Zero Knowledge [PDF]
We examine the power of statistical zero knowledge proofs (captured by the complexity class SZK) and their variants. First, we give the strongest known relativized evidence that SZK contains hard problems, by exhibiting an oracle relative to which SZK (indeed, even NISZK) is not contained in the class UPP, containing those problems solvable by ...

Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes. [PDF]
MotivationExpression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are genetic variants that affect gene expression. In eQTL studies, one important task is to find eGenes or genes whose expressions are associated with at least one eQTL. The standard statistical method

How to calculate statistical power for vegetation research [PDF]
Calculation of statistical power is important for proper interpretation of research results. Statistical Power depends on the selected significance level, sample size and effect size. Selection of an appropriate formula for calculating power of a test is
