Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision03:37

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

95.1K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Random and Systematic Errors

13.2K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.3K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares01:20

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

2.9K
A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

3.7K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Variation01:19

Variation

7.3K
An important characteristic of any set of data is the variation in the data. In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in other data sets, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean. The most common measure of variation, or spread, is the standard deviation, which is the square root of variance.
When independent and dependent variables are plotted on a scatter plot, the slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the two...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Ordinary linear regression is restricted to bivariate data (y = f(x)).
  • Extending regression to multivariate data requires new frameworks.
  • Measurement error regression (MER) is crucial for accurate parameter estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a parametric linear regression (PLR) framework for multivariate data.
  • To extend MER to multivariate variable vectors.
  • To provide a robust method for estimating MER parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Transformation of ordinary linear regression to parametric representation (x(t), y(t)) using the chain rule.
  • Utilization of weighted averages and Monte Carlo simulations to determine optimal weights.
  • Application of the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse for estimating MER parameters in the PLR algorithm.

Main Results:

  • PLR framework successfully extends linear regression to multivariate data.
  • MER parameters estimated by PLR show similarity to nonlinear ODRPACK for bivariate data.
  • Identification of scale-invariant quantities and correspondences with residual effects for PLR and weighted orthogonal regression (WOR).

Conclusions:

  • Parametric linear regression (PLR) offers a robust method for multivariate measurement error regression (MER).
  • Error model specification is essential for accurate MER.
  • PLR demonstrates utility in analyzing complex biological data, such as RNA-Seq, and in modeling data dispersion.
