2. ### Calculate required sample size

Hello, I have a test for the thermal performance of a building with a defined uncertainty margin (15%). I want to use it to measure the effects of refurbishments designed to improve thermal performance, but the effect of the refurbishments can be quite small (5-50%). In order to have confidence...
3. ### Voucher Discount and Redeemed

Hi. I need your help in this problem. I need to do some hypothesis testing. The data that I have as below Target is the users that get the voucher, Redeemed is the vouchers that have been redeemed by the users. Based on that data, it appears that 20,000 amount of voucher discount draws high...
4. ### using differing methods for confidence intervals with differing results

Hello, Does anybody know the protocol for when you use two different methods to create confidence intervals and get differing results in the test. I ran a test for a parameter estimation MLE and got different results for my confidence interval. And would like some advice. For example, you...
5. ### Statistical/practical significant difference

Hi Suppose that we have two groups that they select N items. For example, in the table below, we have the number of people from each group that have selected each item. items: A B C D E F G H K...
6. ### Smallest µ such that H0 is rejected (hypothesis test, unknown mean)

Let X1, X2, . . . , Xn be normal-distributed random variables with unknown mean µ and variance 1 and let X^- =1/n sum_{n=i}^n be their sample mean. Consider the one-sided hypothesis test with hypotheses H0 : µ0 < 0 and H1 : µ0 > 0 with parameters δ = 0.01 and n = 100. What is the smallest µ...

Hi there, I am new in this community. I hope you can help me out. For my master thesis, I have a dataset of 6043 observations. This observations contain the spread differential (delta) of matched securities (I compare one corporate bond with a Green corporate bond of the same issuer) What I...

10. ### Ratio for comparison between groups and correlation analyses

I'm trying to compare two groups on their ratio between two scores and then investigate the correlation of this ratio for each participant with scores obtained on other tests. What would be an appropriate way of calculating this ratio and what statistical test would I then use to see if there is...
11. ### Thesis Help Request - Hypothesis Testing

Hi I am doing an event study and my null hypothesis is CAAR=0 and alternative is CAAR does not equal 0 (2 tailed t-test). CAAR is cumulative average abnormal returns. Can a two tailed test be used to give directional conclusions, e.g. if the CAAR value is 1.5% and is statistically significant at...
12. ### conditional probability of type 1 error - hypothesis testing common malpractices

If you want to test Ho = 0 versus H1≠ 1,with significance level alpha, but instead of testing this directly, you have a strategy: -> X1,...,Xn is a random sample from a N(µ,σ2) distribution with σ2 known (I shall denote the mean of X as X(m)) and we obtain Z = X(m)/(σ/√n) If Z > 0, let H1 : µ >...

Hi everyone. The table above contains two example factories that I would like to test for cointegration using the augmented dickey-fuller test. I intentionally use this short time series because I want to do the calculations by hand. Below you will see my attempt to carry out this procedure and...
15. ### Multiple testing correction - What constitutes a test?

Hello! I am not how to tackle my experimental setup in terms of multiple testing correction: I have three performance measures (m1,m2,m3) that I collected from 20 individuals. On top of that I have two measures of some anatomical feature. I correlated every anatomical feature with all the...

I have been facing some doubts regarding the problem given below. Firstly, if this problem is a Z-test or a T-test? Secondly, what should be the standard deviation ? sigma =? Here is my attempted solution, Please help.
17. ### Calculating ensemble value for data with non-gaussian errors

I have 10 data points each of which have non-symmetric (i.e., non-Gaussian) errors. That is, if 'a' is the central value (representing the median), then a^{+b}_{-c} means that 'b' is the positive 1-sigma error and 'c' is the negative 1-sigma error. I want to be able to get a representative value...
18. ### Can someone please confirm if I have selected the right tests for hypothesis testing?

Hi, this is my first post here, hope that I'm doing this correctly! I'm taking a statistics course for my master's where we need to do some hypothesis testing with a pre-defined data set using R. I am unsure about what the most appropriate statistical test to use is, so I was wondering if...
19. ### Best scenario: unpaired or paired situation?

I have a few questions, but first let me give you some necessary background of the experiment and the underlying questions. Basically, the design is as follows: 3 independent repeated experiments across different days using different stocks of a cell lineage (clones); One factor called...
20. ### Chi Square or T Tests for Likert Scale Type Survey

So I have a 4 point likert-type scale with approximately 20 questions. I have categorized each item to be either agree or disagree. I mainly did this because the previous person who used this scale did this. However, that person only displayed frequency data for it and did not run any tests for...
