... structured nature. Each data-point is a 2,048-dimensional feature vector. Therefore, classical parametric multivariate test statistics cannot be applied [7]. Typically, these methods will have a low detection rate (high Type II error, low power) because there are too few samples to estimate the high ...

... With a decrease in the standard deviation we see the probability of Type II error decrease to 6%. Decreasing the standard deviation reduces the amount of overlap between the two distributions, thus reducing the Type II error. ...

... Is the sample outcome x = 1.02 surprisingly large under that supposition? If it is, that’s evidence against H 0 and in favor of H a . To answer this question, we make the use of the knowledge of how the sample mean x would vary in repeated samples if H 0 really were true. That is the sampling dis ...

To conclude that there is a change over time we must assume that the samples are truly representative of elderly white women in these two decades. There is no evidence that the width of the femoral neck is d ...
