The best simple description of an order statistic.
For a full description of the RMSD statistic used here [ 18], see the corresponding section in the Methods.
Herodotus' lavish descriptions of the statistic-boggling preparations — he numbers Xerxes' fighting force at 2,317,610 men, a figure that includes infantry, marines, and camel-riders — are among the most memorable passages of his, or any, history.
Any statistic that best lets us differentiate between the two classes (control versus stretch) can be used [ 5] (please see the Appendix for a description of the paired t-statistic).
Both of these conditions are core to the present model allowing a detailed spatial description of the parking supply and statistic spatio-temporal description of parking demand, while preserving analytical tractability of the problem.
The proposed summary statistic for quantifying variation within a genome incorporates the strengths that were previously only found in separate statistics, furthermore this work incorporates an analytical description of the sampling variance for the statistic.
For MAR, missingness depends only on the observed components of Y and not on the missing components, such that MNAR occurs if the distribution of R depends on the missing values in matrix Y. Adapting the description of Fairclough [ 2] the test statistic arises as follows: the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the mean of Y i is and is the ML estimate of the covariance of Y i.
In our case, data number within each family was not sufficient to achieve an extensive description of the distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis.
This statistic can be intuitively understood as the ratio between the typical distances separating the blue and red curves in Figure 1B and C. For each sample in Datasets 1 and 2, we estimated the optimum reference set (see below for a description of this procedure) and computed the statistic.
This was no mere statistic or forecast or description of the general state of the economy.
