  2. Cochran's C test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran's_C_test

    Cochran's test, [1] named after William G. Cochran, is a one-sided upper limit variance outlier statistical test .The C test is used to decide if a single estimate of a variance (or a standard deviation) is significantly larger than a group of variances (or standard deviations) with which the single estimate is supposed to be comparable.

  3. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

    Confounding variables may also be categorised according to their source. The choice of measurement instrument (operational confound), situational characteristics (procedural confound), or inter-individual differences (person confound). An operational confounding can occur in both experimental and non-experimental research designs. This type of ...

  6. Heckman correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckman_correction

    The Heckman correction is a two-step M-estimator where the covariance matrix generated by OLS estimation of the second stage is inconsistent. [7] Correct standard errors and other statistics can be generated from an asymptotic approximation or by resampling, such as through a bootstrap. [8]

  7. Confidence and prediction bands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_and_prediction...

    Confidence bands can be constructed around estimates of the empirical distribution function.Simple theory allows the construction of point-wise confidence intervals, but it is also possible to construct a simultaneous confidence band for the cumulative distribution function as a whole by inverting the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, or by using non-parametric likelihood methods.

    For example, for = 0.05 and m = 10, the Bonferroni-adjusted level is 0.005 and the Šidák-adjusted level is approximately 0.005116. One can also compute confidence intervals matching the test decision using the Šidák correction by computing each confidence interval at the ⋅ {\displaystyle \cdot } (1 − α) 1/ m % level.
