Again, summary statistic choice 3 had the lowest RMSE1 and RMSE2 values (uniformly lowest in this case, even for τ).
The resulting posterior for the data in Table 1 of [ 10] is given in Figure 5 for summary statistic choice 3. Additionally, a second set of simulations was done for simulated data observed only approximately 13 times over the simulation (as in the real data in Figure 1(a)).
Although this might be very unlikely, trials could perhaps have been stopped earlier had the appropriate test statistics been the pre-specified statistic of choice [ 13].
Because test scores no longer work to prove American school failure, the statistic of choice to prove what a lousy job we're doing is the graduation rate.
The mean is the statistic of choice for decisions relating to health technology assessment [ 35, 36].
The mean is often the statistic of choice to define treatment effect sizes for HRQoL endpoints in most of these measures.
The Brunner Munzel test has also been found to be robust in the face of violations of normality and is considered the statistic of choice for studies such as this one.
Our statistic of choice, the PAR, is a useful measure for quantifying the extent of disease reduction possible through behavior modification, but its interpretation can be complex, particularly as it relates to the interrelationships of factors of interest with other established risk factors and changes in population prevalence.
Although the test-retest kappa statistic concerning choice of plans was 0.61 (substantial), the confidence interval for kappa (0.52, 0.69) overlapped that of the items concerning the ease/difficulty of understanding their plan (95% CI: 0.41, 0.56) and how protected the beneficiaries feel from out-of-pocket costs (95% CI: 0.43, 0.57).
The reviewer notes that our chosen summary statistic involves some choices, including logs of copy number measurements.
