Binomial Probability Distribution01:15

Binomial Probability Distribution

16.4K
A binomial distribution is a probability distribution for a procedure with a fixed number of trials, where each trial can have only two outcomes.
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...

Bonferroni Test01:10

Bonferroni Test

3.5K
The Bonferroni test is a statistical test named after Carlo Emilio Bonferroni, an Italian mathematician best known for Bonferroni inequalities. This statistical test is a type of multiple comparison test to determine which means are different than the rest. Bonferroni test can minimize the Type 1 error by reducing the significance level alpha, which otherwise increases with sample pairs.
The means of different samples are first paired in all possible combinations.
The null hypothesis of the...

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion

4.0K
A complete procedure for testing a claim about a population proportion is provided here.
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks01:21

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks

544
Friedman's Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks is a nonparametric test designed to identify differences across multiple test attempts when traditional assumptions of normality and equal variances do not apply. Unlike conventional ANOVA, which requires normally distributed data with equal variances, Friedman's test is ideal for ordinal or non-normally distributed data, making it particularly useful for analyzing dependent samples, such as matched subjects over time or repeated measures...

One-Way ANOVA: Unequal Sample Sizes01:15

One-Way ANOVA: Unequal Sample Sizes

6.9K
One-way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples of unequal sizes. However, calculations get complicated when sample sizes are not always the same. So, while performing ANOVA with unequal samples size, the following equation is used:

Introduction to Test of Independence01:21

Introduction to Test of Independence

3.1K
In statistics, the term independence means that one can directly obtain the probability of any event involving both variables by multiplying their individual probabilities. Tests of independence are chi-square tests involving the use of a contingency table of observed (data) values.
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Methods

Background:

  • Fisher's exact test (FET) is a standard method for analyzing 2x2 contingency tables with small sample sizes.
  • The conventional FET is often conservative, potentially leading to reduced statistical power.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a modified Fisher's exact test that is less conservative and more powerful.
  • To improve the control of Type 1 and Type 2 errors in small sample data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A novel modification of Fisher's exact test is proposed.
  • The modified test utilizes two independent binomial distributions as the reference distribution for the test statistic.
  • The performance of the new test is compared against existing methods.

Main Results:

  • The proposed modified Fisher's exact test demonstrates advantages over existing methods.
  • The new test offers improved control over both Type 1 and Type 2 errors.
  • The method was successfully reanalyzed in an oncology trial.

Conclusions:

  • The modified Fisher's exact test provides a less conservative and more powerful alternative for analyzing small sample data.
  • This approach enhances statistical accuracy in hypothesis testing for 2x2 tables.
  • Freely available software facilitates the application of this new statistical method.
