The adversary is presumed to have manufactured a series of tanks marked with consecutive whole numbers, beginning with serial number 1. Additionally, regardless of a tank's date of manufacture, history of service, or the serial number it bears, the distribution over serial numbers becoming revealed to analysis is uniform, up to the point in time when the analysis is conducted.
One very early weighted estimator is the Horvitz–Thompson estimator of the mean. [3] When the sampling probability is known, from which the sampling population is drawn from the target population, then the inverse of this probability is used to weight the observations. This approach has been generalized to many aspects of statistics under ...
The 95% confidence interval for the true project work time is approximately E(project) ± 2 × SD(project) The 99.7% confidence interval for the true project work time is approximately E(project) ± 3 × SD(project) Information Systems typically uses the 95% confidence interval for all project and task estimates.

Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census. In many early attempts, such as in Ancient Egypt and the Persian Empire, the focus was on counting merely a subset of the population for purposes of taxation or military service. [2]
Because this is a linear function, it follows that for certain versions of q for which the slope of this line (the first term multiplied by f) is positive, all of the detection resource should be devoted to the high-risk population (f should be set to 1 to maximize the capture probability), whereas for other value of q, for which the slope of ...
In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.
Interactive help is available. The program provides methods that are appropriate for matched and independent t-tests, [2] survival analysis, [5] matched [6] and unmatched [7] [8] studies of dichotomous events, the Mantel-Haenszel test, [9] and linear regression. [3]
Several errors have crept into this article since I last looked it. First P is not the matrix product of S and D, but elements of P are the straight product of the elements of S and D.
