  2. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined ...

  3. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Power (statistics) In frequentist statistics, power is a measure of the ability of an experimental design and hypothesis testing setup to detect a particular effect if it is truly present. In typical use, it is a function of the test used (including the desired level of statistical significance), the assumed distribution of the test (for ...

  4. Design effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_effect

    Introduction. In survey methodology, the design effect (generally denoted as , , or ) is a measure of the expected impact of a sampling design on the variance of an estimator for some parameter of a population. It is calculated as the ratio of the variance of an estimator based on a sample from an (often) complex sampling design, to the ...

  6. Acceptance sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_sampling

    MIL-STD-105E was cancelled in 1995 but is available in related documents such as ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, "Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes". Several levels of inspection are provided and can be indexed to several AQLs. The sample size is specified and the basis for acceptance or rejection (number of defects) is provided. MIL ...

  7. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    Mathematically, the variance of the sampling mean distribution obtained is equal to the variance of the population divided by the sample size. This is because as the sample size increases, sample means cluster more closely around the population mean.

  8. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R2 or r2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable (s). It is a statistic used in the context of statistical models whose main purpose is either the prediction of future outcomes or the ...

  9. Sample maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_maximum_and_minimum

    Sample maximum and minimum. In statistics, the sample maximum and sample minimum, also called the largest observation and smallest observation, are the values of the greatest and least elements of a sample. [1] They are basic summary statistics, used in descriptive statistics such as the five-number summary and Bowley's seven-figure summary and ...
