Paired-samples designs are used frequently in educational and behavioral research. In applications where the response variable is quantitative, researchers are encouraged to supplement the results of ...

Strong Lagrangian theory is used to illuminate the properties of the profile log likelihood. General conditions are given which lead to a simplification of the computations required to plot this ...

MIT researchers have developed a method that generates more accurate uncertainty measures for certain types of estimation.

Confidence Interval Estimate: a range of values so constructed that a specified proportion of the intervals costructed that way would contain the true value of a parameter. Critical Value: a point on ...

Wald-based and likelihood ratio-based confidence intervals are available in the MODEL procedure for computing a confidence interval on an estimated parameter. A confidence interval on a parameter can ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.

The number needed to treat, that is, the average number of patients a clinician needs to treat with a particular therapy to prevent one bad outcome,1 is a translation into clinical terms of the ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Interval timing is an essential basis for our sensorimotor function 1,2,3. Most humans who are required to initiate an action after a specific time period in the range of seconds are able to generate ...
