Confidence Intervals – Introduction

... What qualifies as an “important” change in response? What predictors are available? Which do we expect will be important? What are their classifications? What is the experimental unit? Which variables, if any, have associated uncertainty or variation? Are there nuisance variables? Can we block on co ...

... 3. Compute the mean of the squared deviations. For a population, this involves summing the squared deviations (sum of squares, SS) and then dividing by N. The resulting value is called the variance or mean square and measures the average squared distance from the mean. For samples, variance is compu ...
