number selection strategy of lotto players
... that the lotto players pick numbers at random. However, many lotto players select their combinations through some other process. In other words, they believe there are some combinations that are much more popular than others. Cook and Clotfelter (1993) refer to this behavior as “conscious selection” ...

Sample Size Planning Sample Size Planning with Effect Size
... suggest sample sizes for future studies that drop to power down to !, the Type I error rate, which is also the lower bound for power. This asymmetrical relationship results in average actual power across the sampling distribution of the effect size estimate that is less than the nominal power calcul ...

Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals for Two Populations
... First, I observe that the sample sizes both exceed 30. This is important. If the sample sizes equal or exceed 30, the central theorem may be assumed, which in turn assures the distributions are normally distributed. Both sample sizes must be equal to or exceed 30 for me to apply the large size sampl ...

This report introduces the notion of “uncertain numbers”, a class of mathematical objects useful for risk analysis that generalize real numbers, intervals, probability distributions, interval bounds on probability distributions (probability boxes), and finite DempsterShafer structures whose elements ...

German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
