  2. Difference in differences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_in_differences

    Difference in differences (DID [1] or DD [2]) is a statistical technique used in econometrics and quantitative research in the social sciences that attempts to mimic an experimental research design using observational study data, by studying the differential effect of a treatment on a 'treatment group' versus a 'control group' in a natural experiment. [3]

  3. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

    the difference between the mean of the measurements and the reference value, the bias. Establishing and correcting for bias is necessary for calibration. the combined effect of that and precision. A common convention in science and engineering is to express accuracy and/or precision implicitly by means of significant figures. Where not ...

  4. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)

    An effect size can be a direct value of the quantity of interest (for example, a difference in mean of a particular size), or it can be a standardized measure that also accounts for the variability in the population (such as a difference in means expressed as a multiple of the standard deviation).

  5. Effect size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

    In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...

  6. Strictly standardized mean difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strictly_standardized_mean...

    It is the mean divided by the standard deviation of a difference between two random values each from one of two groups. It was initially proposed for quality control [ 1 ] and hit selection [ 2 ] in high-throughput screening (HTS) and has become a statistical parameter measuring effect sizes for the comparison of any two groups with random values.

  7. Confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

    Confidence interval for mean of the Poisson distribution; Confidence intervals for mean and variance of the normal distribution (also here) Confidence interval for the parameters of a simple linear regression; Confidence interval for the difference of means (based on data from a normal distributions, without assuming equal variances)

  8. Mean absolute difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_absolute_difference

    The relative mean absolute difference quantifies the mean absolute difference in comparison to the size of the mean and is a dimensionless quantity. The relative mean absolute difference is equal to twice the Gini coefficient which is defined in terms of the Lorenz curve. This relationship gives complementary perspectives to both the relative ...

  9. Statistical significance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance

    To gauge the research significance of their result, researchers are encouraged to always report an effect size along with p-values. An effect size measure quantifies the strength of an effect, such as the distance between two means in units of standard deviation (cf. Cohen's d ), the correlation coefficient between two variables or its square ...
