Temperature correction: If the measurement is not performed at the standard temperature, a correction factor is applied to adjust the reading to the equivalent value at 60°F. [ 6 ] The hydrometer method is widely used due to its simplicity and low cost.
The simple Bonferroni correction rejects only null hypotheses with p-value less than or equal to , in order to ensure that the FWER, i.e., the risk of rejecting one or more true null hypotheses (i.e., of committing one or more type I errors) is at most . The cost of this protection against type I errors is an increased risk of failing to reject ...
With respect to FWER control, the Bonferroni correction can be conservative if there are a large number of tests and/or the test statistics are positively correlated. [ 9 ] Multiple-testing corrections, including the Bonferroni procedure, increase the probability of Type II errors when null hypotheses are false, i.e., they reduce statistical ...
A ray trace through a prism with apex angle α. Regions 0, 1, and 2 have indices of refraction, , and , and primed angles ′ indicate the ray's angle after refraction.. Ray angle deviation and dispersion through a prism can be determined by tracing a sample ray through the element and using Snell's law at each interface.
Since most refractions (the measurement that determines the power of a corrective lens) are performed at a vertex distance of 12–14 mm, the power of the correction may need to be modified from the initial prescription so that light reaches the patient's eye with the same effective power that it did through the phoropter or trial frame.
The Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score was developed from the Physiologic Stability Index (PSI) [1] to reduce the number of physiologic variables required for pediatric intensive-care unit (PICU) mortality risk assessment, from 34 (in the PSI) to 14, [2] and to obtain an objective weighting of the remaining variables.
The EWMA chart is sensitive to small shifts in the process mean, but does not match the ability of Shewhart-style charts (namely the ¯ and R and ¯ and s charts) to detect larger shifts. [ 2 ] : 412 One author recommends superimposing the EWMA chart on top of a suitable Shewhart-style chart with widened control limits in order to detect both ...
Bartlett's test is used to test the null hypothesis, H 0 that all k population variances are equal against the alternative that at least two are different. If there are k samples with sizes and sample variances then Bartlett's test statistic is
