We have previously discussed the importance of estimating uncertainty in our measurements and incorporating it into data analysis 1. To know the extent to which we can generalize our observations, we ...

What is a one sample t test? The t test is a commonly used hypothesis test in statistics that allows us to compare the mean value of a group of sampled data with some hypothesized value, usually a ...

As with all probability distributions, the Normal Distribution describes how the values of your data are distributed. Subsequently, it is one of the most important probability distributions in ...

When an experiment is reproduced we almost never obtain exactly the same results. Instead, repeated measurements span a range of values because of biological variability and precision limits of ...

When particles in a sample are the same size, one particle can be measured to report the result. If the sample has a narrow distribution, such as 10-25 µm, then measurement of just a few particles can ...

Although the cumulative distribution function may be differentiated to obtain the corresponding density function, whether or not a similar relationship exists between their asymptotic expansions ...
