  2. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined ...

  4. Design effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_effect

    In survey methodology, the design effect (generally denoted as , , or ) is a measure of the expected impact of a sampling design on the variance of an estimator for some parameter of a population. It is calculated as the ratio of the variance of an estimator based on a sample from an (often) complex sampling design, to the variance of an ...

  5. Point estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_estimation

    In statistics, point estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value (known as a point estimate since it identifies a point in some parameter space) which is to serve as a "best guess" or "best estimate" of an unknown population parameter (for example, the population mean). More formally, it is the application of a point ...

  6. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R2 or r2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable (s). It is a statistic used in the context of statistical models whose main purpose is either the prediction of future outcomes or the ...

  7. Fisher's exact test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_exact_test

    Fisher's exact test is a statistical significance test used in the analysis of contingency tables. [1][2][3] Although in practice it is employed when sample sizes are small, it is valid for all sample sizes. It is named after its inventor, Ronald Fisher, and is one of a class of exact tests, so called because the significance of the deviation ...

  9. Mann–Whitney U test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann–Whitney_U_test

    The common language effect size is 90%, so the rank-biserial correlation is 90% minus 10%, and the rank-biserial r = 0.80. An alternative formula for the rank-biserial can be used to calculate it from the Mann–Whitney U (either or ) and the sample sizes of each group: [23]
