Excerpt from Effect of Small Samples on Statistical Constants
Just how large a population of variates is necessary in order that a given formula may be applicable has not yet been determined. It has been customary to check up by common sense a very commendable procedure at all times-but often the intri cacies of the situation make that impossible. The problem is one which can be solved only by an examination of the effect which is inherent in the formulae. Most of the formulae used were intended to be applied to cases involving large numbers - for the sake of definiteness let us say a thousand or more. Many investigations involve less than a hundred variates. What effect does this have upon the accuracy of the results obtained?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This academic book investigates the nature of statistical constants determined from small data samples. In the development of the field, researchers often applied laws derived from large sets of measurements to situations involving just a few dozen entries without considering the effect of this discrepancy. The author presents statistical analysis and empirical evidence to provide insight into this potential source of error. Exploring the underlying theory behind the statistical formulas and conducting an experiment with 990 data points, the text demonstrates how conclusions drawn from small-sample sets may differ subtly but significantly from those based on larger populations. Understanding these nuances is crucial for researchers and scholars reliant on statistical methods. This book illuminates the impact of sample size on statistical accuracy and enhances the reliability of data-driven decision-making. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
