Statistical inference

GMOs.Freedman was a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association and an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He won the 2003 John J. Carty Award for the Advancement of Science from the National Academy of Sciences. “For his profound contributions to the theory and practice of statistics, including rigorous foundations for Bayesian inference and trenchant analysis of census adjustment.” This article helps me by explaining in…

Salkind Assignment 1 The article, The Clinical Representativeness of Couple Therapy Outcome Research Family Process by Wright et al., (2007) uses different statistical procedures such as ANOVA, mean, standardized deviation, probability, and correlation coefficient to support their hypothesis. The results from this study provide support to the hypothesis that clinical representativeness of couple therapy outcome studies is a meaningful construct and a reliably assessed by independent observers.…

However these methods were costly and years of data would be needed to make statistical inferences. In the 1960’s Kooyman (1965) developed the first time-depth recorder to study the physiological diving capabilities of Weddell Seals in the Antarctic. Argos receivers became operational on NOAA satellites in 1978 making it possible to determine…

Diary Studies Diary studies are instruments that allow collecting current experiences through self-report measures. In this essay some important aspects of diary studies will be tackled. As what kind of research questions can be responded with this study designs, the evolution that they implied compared to other traditional methods, their great advantages and its applicability to different domains and distinct context, the cautions that have to be taken for their use, the different design that…

3.1.3 Interpretivism Interpretivism is proposed as an alternative philosophy to criticize positivism, that is mainly found in the social science, and its opposition to the application of neutral observations, universal laws in natural sciences to social science research (Saunders et al., 2007). Hussy and Hussy (1997) describes interpretivism as a phenomenon that involves understanding human behaviour from the participants' own research frame, and the authors further mentioned that social reality…

the effectiveness of control interventions. In this critical analysis paper, I will provide the summary of this research paper and identify strengths and weaknesses, and provide evaluative comments. I will summarize the literature titled “Statistical Inference in a Stochastic Epidemic SEIR Model with Control Intervention: Ebola as a Case Study” and published by Lekone and Finkenstadt on Biometrics journal in 2006. I will identify its strengths and weaknesses and provide evaluative…

The Royal Proclamation of 1763, issued by King George III, which restricted further colonial encroachment past the Appalachian Mountains could have served as a potential blockade to the growing need for expansion. As the statistical evidence suggests, once the initial years of settlement in the Massachusetts Bay colony had passed, the population of the area experienced consistent growth and an increased rate of survival. A plentiful amount of essential resources needed to support…

which airline has the largest and smallest percent stake in the market. By finding out the market share’s impact, the airport can then adjust its flights and pricings to entice and attract more travelers to generate more profit. After computing a statistical and tabular summary of data on the airfares from BWI (Figure 1), one can draw many conclusions about the distribution of airfares. The lowest price a ticket was purchased at, also known as the minimum price, was $55. The most…

research design is that unlike experimental research, cross-sectional designs cannot determine causation (Perri & Bellamy, 2012). Although a longitudinal design would have allowed the measurement of covariance and temporal order, enhancing causal inference, it would be more costly. Regardless, establishing a causal relationship is not within the scope of this study, rather, it endeavours determine whether the variables are…

Firstly, distance learning may allow students get inappropriate assistance. Since there is no supervisor, students could easily fall into temptation of fraudulent act while they take a quiz or exam. According to Brown’s work, the statistical data for 2007 done by National Survey of Student Engagement show that as high as 59% of U.S students involved in eLearning programs admitted their fault of academic fraud. The respondent conceded that they cheated on their online class ‘very often’…
