  2. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    The table shown on the right can be used in a two-sample t-test to estimate the sample sizes of an experimental group and a control group that are of equal size, that is, the total number of individuals in the trial is twice that of the number given, and the desired significance level is 0.05. [4]

  3. Z-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-test

    Difference between Z-test and t-test: Z-test is used when sample size is large (n>50), or the population variance is known. t-test is used when sample size is small (n<50) and population variance is unknown. There is no universal constant at which the sample size is generally considered large enough to justify use of the plug-in test. Typical ...

  4. Margin of error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error

    For a confidence level, there is a corresponding confidence interval about the mean , that is, the interval [, +] within which values of should fall with probability . ...

  5. Fisher transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_transformation

    The application of Fisher's transformation can be enhanced using a software calculator as shown in the figure. Assuming that the r-squared value found is 0.80, that there are 30 data [clarification needed], and accepting a 90% confidence interval, the r-squared value in another random sample from the same population may range from 0.656 to 0.888.

  6. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    This approximate formula is for moderate to large sample sizes; the reference gives the exact formulas for any sample size, and can be applied to heavily autocorrelated time series like Wall Street stock quotes. Moreover, this formula works for positive and negative ρ alike. [12] See also unbiased estimation of standard deviation for more ...

  7. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  8. Ratio estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    where N is the population size, n is the sample size, m x is the mean of the x variate and s x 2 and s y 2 are the sample variances of the x and y variates respectively. These versions differ only in the factor in the denominator (N - 1). For a large N the difference is negligible.

  9. Z-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-factor

    The Z-factor defines a characteristic parameter of the capability of hit identification for each given assay. The following categorization of HTS assay quality by the value of the Z-Factor is a modification of Table 1 shown in Zhang et al. (1999); [2] note that the Z-factor cannot exceed one.
