Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

10.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Bias01:22

Bias

4.2K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

2.2K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

43
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests01:19

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

2.5K
A goodness-of-fit test is conducted to determine whether the observed frequency values are statistically similar to the frequencies expected for the dataset. Suppose the expected frequencies for a dataset are equal such as when predicting the frequency of any number appearing when casting a die. In that case, the expected frequency is the ratio of the total number of observations (n)  to the number of categories (k).

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Foundations of physics
  • Quantum information theory

Background:

  • Quantum non-locality and contextuality are phenomena simulated using quasi-probabilities.

  • Utilizing quasi-probabilistic frameworks to model quantum phenomena.
  • Applying the Specker's triangle scenario with three observables.
  • Extending the scenario to include additional boxes and multiple balls.

Main Results:

  • The observer effect, like non-locality and contextuality, can be simulated with quasi-probabilities.
  • The Specker's triangle scenario exhibits a strong observer effect, where initial measurements determine subsequent outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Quasi-probabilities provide a unified framework for describing diverse quantum phenomena, including the observer effect.
  • The Specker's triangle scenario offers a valuable model for understanding observer-dependent effects in quantum systems.
  • Negative probabilities can enhance and reveal deeper aspects of quantum observer effects.
