Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

17.1K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Professional Values

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Critical Values01:31

Critical Values

10.4K
A critical value is a definite value obtained from a particular probability distribution at a predecided confidence level (or a predecided significance level) for a given population parameter. The critical value provides demarcation that separates the sample statistics that are likely to occur from the ones that are unlikely to occur based on the given probability distribution and the population parameter to be estimated. The critical value for normal distribution is obtained from the z...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.8K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Adjusting a Traverse01:12

Adjusting a Traverse

387
In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...

z Scores and Unusual Values01:07

z Scores and Unusual Values

11.0K
The z score is one of the three measures of relative standing. It describes the location of a value in a dataset relative to the mean. z scores are obtained after the standardization of the values in a dataset. The z score for the mean is 0.
 This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Transcriptomics
  • Statistical Genetics

Background:

  • Biological data analysis commonly uses statistical inferences for genomic and transcriptomic association studies.
  • P values from tests like Chi-square or t-tests are standard for determining significance in case-control comparisons.
  • A critical flaw is using a single P value cutoff for multiple tests on the same data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the meaning and necessity of P value adjustment in statistical genetics.
  • To demonstrate methods for adjusting P values in the R statistical environment.
  • To address the issue of multiple testing in omics association studies.

Main Methods:

  • Explanation of P value interpretation in statistical association testing.
  • Illustrative examples of P value adjustment techniques.
  • Application of adjustment methods within the R statistical computing environment.

Main Results:

  • P values quantify the false positive rate in hypothesis testing.
  • Failure to adjust P values for multiple tests inflates the risk of false discoveries.
  • Correct adjustment procedures mitigate this risk, improving study reliability.

Conclusions:

  • P value adjustment is essential for robust association findings in omics research.
  • Implementing adjusted P values enhances the validity of genomic and transcriptomic studies.
  • The R environment provides accessible tools for performing these critical statistical adjustments.
