    6 Effect of finite population size. 7 See also. 8 References. ... (left), and sample size ... choosing a correct formula for ...

  3. Sampling fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_fraction

    where n is the sample size and N is the population size. A sampling fraction value close to 1 will occur if the sample size is relatively close to the population size. When sampling from a finite population without replacement, this may cause dependence between individual samples. To correct for this dependence when calculating the sample ...

  4. Design effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_effect

    Where is the sample size, = / is the fraction of the sample from the population, () is the (squared) finite population correction (FPC), is the unbiassed sample variance, and (¯) is some estimator of the variance of the mean under the sampling design. The issue with the above formula is that it is extremely rare to be able to directly estimate ...

  5. Sampling distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_distribution

    In statistics, a sampling distribution or finite-sample distribution is the probability distribution of a given random-sample-based statistic.For an arbitrarily large number of samples where each sample, involving multiple observations (data points), is separately used to compute one value of a statistic (for example, the sample mean or sample variance) per sample, the sampling distribution is ...

  6. Bessel's correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel's_correction

    Generally Bessel's correction is an approach to reduce the bias due to finite sample size. Such finite-sample bias correction is also needed for other estimates like skew and kurtosis, but in these the inaccuracies are often significantly larger. To fully remove such bias it is necessary to do a more complex multi-parameter estimation.

  7. Timesheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timesheet

    Contemporary time sheet. A timesheet (or time sheet) is a method for recording the amount of a worker's time spent on each job. Traditionally a sheet of paper with the data arranged in tabular format, a timesheet is now often a digital document or spreadsheet. The time cards stamped by time clocks can serve as a timesheet or provide the data to ...

  8. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

  9. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

    Formulas, tables, and power function charts are well known approaches to determine sample size. Steps for using sample size tables: Postulate the effect size of interest, α, and β. Check sample size table [20] Select the table corresponding to the selected α; Locate the row corresponding to the desired power; Locate the column corresponding ...
