Pfaff deals with the issue of for-profit prisons with similar statistical efficiency: even if private prisons were banned tomorrow and all their inmates released, the prison population would drop by, at most, eight per cent.
According to Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders, the Bears rank first in both defense and special teams in his advanced statistical efficiency ratings.
Statistical efficiency, if accounted for, plays a secondary role.
Simulation is conducted and the statistical efficiency and consistency of the proposed method are validated.
Thus, it is currently difficult to make an informed choice between protocol flexibility and statistical efficiency.
Results show significant cost reductions and increased statistical efficiency when using the proposed Bayesian framework.
Next, the statistical efficiency of each design was compared via Monte Carlo simulations.
While this aggregation has the advantage of protecting patient privacy, it also risks compromising statistical efficiency.
We then evaluate the statistical efficiency of four different designs by means of Monte Carlo experiments.
To limit non-response and the subsequent loss of statistical efficiency, we did not include an opt-out possibility.
The challenge is to balance statistical efficiency and respondent burden to minimize the overall error in the survey responses.
