Statistical inference

backward to see whether the knowledge base contained any other rules that, when evaluated, could conclude information that might inform the evaluation of the current rule’s premise (Nearly all contemporary rule-based systems, on the other hand, use an inference method known as forward chaining: Whenever a production rule “fires” and the conclusion of that rule is proven to be true, the system looks forward for other rules in the rule base that could also might be able to fire now that the new…

The inferences drawn from this study are limited by its descriptive study design. In this kind of research, the researchers produce great amount of data, but lack of time for analysis and reflection may affect the results (Holloway & Wheeler, 2013, p. 15). Sometime…

nature using the Likert-type scale (Jinkyung and Silkes, 2010) bases on a one to five rating in order to acquire the data for their various hypotheses. The response rate for the survey resulted in the thirty percent range, which according to most statistical literature is highly acceptable. This in turn provided the information to infer certain conclusions, which was mainly that patrons found wine enhanced food when paired appropriately, but it did not substantiate that the wine satisfaction of…

Objectives and Endpoints Objective of the Alzheimer’s prevention trial was to determine if hormone replacement therapy delays Alzheimer's disease or memory loss. Achieving objective should be independent of observing a particular outcome of the trial. The outcomes of the study that can be measured objectively for determining if the intervention being studied is beneficial, are also known as endpoints. They are the quantitative measurements that are required by the objectives and are determined…

such data/ problem Analytical tool that will be used to carry out this research is R Statistical tool with its graphic user interface R studio. Several library packages for R like tm, wordcloud, colorbrewer, SnowballC, ggplot2, dplyr, stringr along with their dependencies will be used for doing the text mining and plotting several immersive plots from which concrete inferences can be drawn. 2.2 Inference, Research Gap &…

David Hume once stated, “No amount of observations of white swans can allow the inference that all swans are white, yet the observation of a single black swan is sufficient to refute that conclusion.” (Lutus2013) The philosopher was stating a significant rule of science; always consider alternative explanations and never accept anything at face value. Defining an area of study as a science requires an unyielding view of the standards defining evidence, jargon and the methodological approach…

Sweet Dreams, Sweeter Health Did you think that having trouble falling asleep at night and feeling tired in the morning is of no concern to your health? Think again. A strong link had been reported between a decrease in sleep quality and the increased risks of cancer. Humans spend roughly a third of their lives sleeping. Our body is constantly repairing itself from the wear and tear accumulated during the day during the period of slumber. However, when one does not get enough sleep, the body…

The experimental method and the statistical approach that was used to test the hypothesis are appropriate in terms of analyzing the correlation between branch diameter and pollen and seed producing cone sizes across conifer species. A similar paper that helps support the methodologies used…

Gauging Education Through Standardized Testing It has long been a debate in any realm on how you measure performance in order to categorize potential of an individual. For instance, the NFL combine measures tangible evidence, but yet it is only an indicator and not a true prediction of a player’s ability. Similarly, public education struggles to accurately predict the potential of student achievement. Although it is extremely rigorous to identify, the process to assess performance in public…

not essentially defenders. In this respect, inferences can be made that the use and implementation of proactive strategies are significant market oriented which essentially relies on the different aspects of response speed and brand loyalty. The research essentially highlights that there is a widespread implicit relationship among adoption and implementation of different wireless applications and marketing orientation. In this specific context, inferences can be made that the undertaken research…
