Chi-square Analysis02:46

Chi-square Analysis

41.6K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

236
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data01:11

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

39.6K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Kruskal-Wallis Test01:19

Kruskal-Wallis Test

1.1K
The Kruskal-Wallis test, also known as the Kruskal-Wallis H test, serves as a nonparametric alternative to the one-way ANOVA, offering a solution for analyzing the differences across three or more independent groups based on a single, ordinal-dependent variable. This statistical test is particularly valuable in scenarios where the data does not meet the normal distribution assumption required by its parametric counterparts. Kruskal-Wallis test is designed typically to handle ordinal data or...

Chi-square Distribution01:10

Chi-square Distribution

5.8K
How does one determine if bingo numbers are evenly distributed or if some numbers occurred with a greater frequency? Or if the types of movies people preferred were different across different age groups or if a coffee machine dispensed approximately the same amount of coffee each time. These questions can be addressed by conducting a hypothesis test. One distribution that can be used to find answers to such questions is known as the chi-square distribution. The chi-square distribution has...

Receiver Operating Characteristic Plot01:15

Receiver Operating Characteristic Plot

387
A ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) plot is a graphical tool used to assess the performance of a binary classification model by illustrating the trade-off between sensitivity (true positive rate) and specificity (false positive rate). By plotting sensitivity against 1 - specificity across various threshold settings, the ROC curve shows how well the model distinguishes between classes, with a curve closer to the top-left corner indicating a more accurate model. The area under the ROC curve...
