... Results: We first used importance weights which were proportional to the distribution of race within our sample, where the weight for the Caucasian estimates was 0.8405 and the weight for the Non-Caucasian estimates was 0.1595. After adjustment for race, mean cholesterol levels were found to be 23.7 ...

Seasonal Forecasts and Predictability
... Variations of the earth’s atmosphere are governed by laws of physics, and in principle the future state of the atmosphere is predictable, if we have the perfect initial condition at a certain time and we have a perfect knowledge of the laws of physics. In reality, it is not possible to obtain the pe ...

For variables with very skewed distributions the median is generally a better measure of typical value than the mean because the mean is inflated by the extreme cases in the tail of the distribution.

It is unlikely that any sample from the first group would have a mean as small as the mean of the second group. Because means as far apart as those observed would rarely aris ...
