  2. Probability of superiority - Wikipedia

    In other words, the correlation is the difference between the common language effect size and its complement. For example, if the common language effect size is 60%, then the rank-biserial r equals 60% minus 40%, or r = 0.20. The Kerby formula is directional, with positive values indicating that the results support the hypothesis.

    In fact, as ε approaches 0, the total probability goes to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, which is the answer expected when one child is sampled (e.g. the oldest child is a boy) and is thus removed from the pool of possible children. In other words, as more and more details about the boy child are given (for instance: born on January 1), the chance that the ...

    Because the census taker knew the total (from the number on the gate) but said that he had insufficient information to give a definitive answer, there must be more than one solution with the same total. Only two sets of possible ages add up to the same totals: A. 2 + 6 + 6 = 14 B. 3 + 3 + 8 = 14

  5. Rank correlation - Wikipedia

    The only pair that does not support the hypothesis are the two runners with ranks 5 and 6, because in this pair, the runner from Group B had the faster time. By the Kerby simple difference formula, 95% of the data support the hypothesis (19 of 20 pairs), and 5% do not support (1 of 20 pairs), so the rank correlation is r = .95 − .05 = .90.

    Statistical tests are used to test the fit between a hypothesis and the data. [1] [2] Choosing the right statistical test is not a trivial task. [1]The choice of the test depends on many properties of the research question.

    The only demographic found to have this type of effect on parents is eldest, school-age daughters. [1] [3] No data compiled by researchers indicating a similar effect from non-firstborn children, nor children within a different age range, was found to be statistically significant. [1]

    These were collected over time from computer activity (for example, a stock exchange) or from computerized sensors, point-of-sale registers, and so on. Computers then produce simple, accurate summaries, and allow more tedious analyses, such as those that require inverting a large matrix or perform hundreds of steps of iteration, that would ...
