Paper 2.b3. Measuring Cultivation Parcels with GPS: a Statistical Evidence. Gabriele Palmegiani

... Parametric tests are based upon the assumption that the samples are drawn from a well defined probability distribution. Often, the Gaussian distribution is assumed. Commonly used parametric tests are listed in the first column of the (Table 1). Because normality is a strong assumption, as starting ...

... above illustrates this: before the experiment is started, the number of patients who will cured by a drug being tested in a drug trial is a random variable. We do not know before the experiment what value it will take, but we know it must be one of the numbers 0, 1, 2, . . . , 1000. That is, this nu ...

... Power is the probability that a study will reject the null hypothesis. The estimated probability is a function of sample size, variability, level of significance, and the difference between the null and alternative hypotheses. Similarly, the sample size required to ensure a pre-specified power for a ...

Misuse of statistics

Statistics are supposed to make something easier to understand but when used in a misleading fashion can trick the casual observer into believing something other than what the data shows. That is, a misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In some cases, the misuse may be accidental. In others, it is purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator. When the statistical reason involved is false or misapplied, this constitutes a statistical fallacy.The false statistics trap can be quite damaging to the quest for knowledge. For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives.Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, even mathematicians and professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything. Scientists have been known to fool themselves with statistics due to lack of knowledge of probability theory and lack of standardization of their tests.
