Abstract:

In an attempt to preserve research integrity, the aim of this study is to examine how often statistical results are being misrepresented in empirical studies by using terms such as “marginally significant,” “approached significance,” or “trend toward significance” when interpreting findings. The use of these terms gives ambiguous significance to results that are in fact nonsignificant, which threatens future research by contributing to issues such as the replication crisis. For this study, data were coded from 437 empirical articles published online in The Journal of Personality and Social Psy

Abstract:

Excerpt: The study by Linna et al1 posited that “eating disorders appear to be associated with several adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly in offspring.” The adverse outcomes included anemia, slow fetal growth, premature contractions, and perinatal death. However, this conclusion cannot be supported by the data because the authors failed to correct the standard value of P = .05 to account for the large number of hypothesis tests. This leads to what is known as type 2 error and causes a hypothesis to be accepted that is actually false.

Abstract:

Type II diabetes is one of the leading cause of morbidity in the U.S. and other parts of the world. Insulin resistance which precedes Type II diabetes is a complex state of the body where the body fails to respond to insulin. Its complexity lies in its multifactorial origin that is to say various environmental and polygenic components come into play. Here we try to dissect one of these components - `Alox8' in transgenic mice and try to see if it affects blood glucose homeostasis. Comparison of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity among sixteen mice comprising of six wild type, five hetero

Abstract:

Excerpt: In their recent study [ 1 ], Lavesson et al. concluded, “In febrile parturients, neither maternal nor fetal temperatures dropped after paracetamol, but paracetamol halted an increasing trend and stabilized the fetal temperature. The effect of paracetamol on maternal temperature was inconclusive”. This conclusion, however, is not supported by the data in the study, in that the calculation of case and control temperature differences demonstrates clear fetal and maternal temperature decreases after paracetamol.

Abstract:

Gene regulation, especially cis-regulation of gene expression by the binding of transcription factors, is a critical component of cellular physiology. Transcription regulation is heavily influenced by the binding of transcription factors, and as such, it is of great interest to characterise these binding sites. The binding sites of a transcription factor are collectively referred to as a regulatory motif. Recent advancement in sequencing technology generated vast amounts of biological data. Thus computational tools are required to process and analyse this massive information. In particular, c

We have seen an increased interest and extensive research in the monitoring of a process over time whose characteristics are represented mathematically in functional forms such as profiles. Most of the current techniques require all of the data for each profile to determine the state of the process. Thus, quality engineers from industrial processes such as agricultural, aquacultural, and chemical cannot make process corrections to the current profile that are essential for correcting their processes at an early stage. In addition, the focus of most of the current techniques is on the statistic

Antibiotic resistant bacteria, a growing health crisis, arise due to antibiotic overuse and misuse. Resistant infections endanger the lives of patients and are financially burdensome. Aggregate antimicrobial susceptibility reports, called antibiograms, are critical for tracking antibiotic susceptibility and evaluating the likelihood of the effectiveness of different antibiotics to treat an infection prior to the availability of patient specific susceptibility data.

Abstract:

This research examines the power of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two-sample test. The motivation for this research is a large data set containing soil salinity values. One problem encountered was that the power of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two-sample test became extremely high due to the large sample size. This extreme power resulted in statistically significant differences between two distributions when no practically significant difference was present. This research used resampling procedures to create simulated null distributions for the test statistic. These null distributions were used to obt

Providing insights into the functioning of the programme, the evaluation confirms that the roll out of the Montessori model is still underway which may explain the reason of the learners not outperforming the comparison group.

This study analyzes the role of statistical significance testing (SST) in education.

In the light of its historical background and conceptual development, discussed in Chapter 2, the Fisher’s significance testing, Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing and their hybrids are clearly distinguished.

The ignition of a solid is an inherently complex phenomenon influenced by heat and mass transport mechanisms that are, even to this day, not understood in entirety. In order to use ignition data in meaningful engineering application, significant simplifications have been made to the theory of ignition. The most common way to classify ignition is the use of material specific parameters such as such as ignition temperature (Tig) and the critical heat flux for ignition (CHF). These parameters are determined through standardized testing of solid materials – however, the results of these tests are
