For our study, statistics on selective logging in the Permanent Forest Estate over the 1974 2012 time period were provided by the French NFS.
For our descriptive statistics, we determined mean ± standard deviation (SD) as measures of centrality and dispersion, and 95% confidence intervals to represent true values of key measures.
Because of the likely presence of tied observations in the distance distribution functions, we use an implementation of the standard Streitberg/Roehmel shift algorithm to retrieve exact distribution functions for our test statistics (Streitberg and Roehmel, 1986).
We also would like to thank Professor Carlos Villaverde (Faculty of Biology, University of Vigo, Spain) for acting as our statistics consultant.
If Scottish self-esteem, a phrase that makes one psychoanalyst I know reach for the term "oxymoron", is reflected in our statistics for liver disease, drug-addiction, obesity, young male suicide and domestic abuse, we're not in great shape.
In some of our analyses, we need to compare our statistics for the MRSA-positive patients with the results for a random control set of patients that are not tested for MRSA.
We could rerun our statistics for the comparable interval 0.30 < λ < 0.5, but we modify our estimate of AUC3 to be (0.20/0.23) ∗ 0.322 = 0.28 and LF/HF = 2.10.
"Our statistics are for people who bet on sports, and umpires are a major part of the equation," said Joe McDonald, the chief technology officer of covers.com, a betting site based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
We found this to be the case for our datasets, see "Statistics and fitting the model" section.
For our classifier, the statistics of order one and two of each feature and for each class of symbol are computed.
