Maximum posterior probability estimators are resistant to bias induced by non-representative sampling, and so are intended for situations in which the training sample is collected without using a statistical sampling design.
Another USSBS report, The Effects of Strategic Bombing on Japanese Morale, included a much higher estimate of 900,000 killed and 1.3 million injured which was reached by a Japanese research team using a statistical sampling methodology.
We inspect and select a representative set of values per column of each table in the database, using a statistical sampling technique.
But even before most of the public opinion was taken, the Interior Department decided privately to use a statistical sampling technique, instead of real accounting.
On Wednesday, the SEC proposed letting companies use a "statistical sampling" of workers to calculate the median worker pay, should tallying the pay of all employees prove too cumbersome.
We have made every effort to counterbalance this limitation by using a statistical analysis suitable for small sample sizes and by using novel and important samples that provide accurate in vivo data.
A large fraction of these CO measurements were below the detection limit (23 of 35 (66%) of above ground measurements and 4200 (45%) of 9331 underground measurements), and values were imputed (assigned) by NIOSH/NCI to these samples using a statistical methodology.
Questionnaires pre and post IPS will be analysed using statistical independent sample ttests, using a Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software, to determine whether overall significant improvements exist within mental health and social stability between those who did, and those who did not take part in IPS.
We calculated sample size using a statistical power analysis program (G*-power) for one tail with a medium effect size, setting statistical significance to α = 0.05 and a power of 0.80.
De Finetti considers a process that generates a series of time-indexed observations, and he then studies prediction rules that take these finite segments as input and return a probability over future events, using a statistical model that can analyze such samples and provide the predictions.
