Statistical parameter

Data that is not evenly distributed is better represented by a skewed distribution such as the Lognormal or Weibull distribution. The empirically based Weibull distribution is frequently used to model engineering distributions because it is flexible (Rice, 1997). For example, the Weibull distribution can be used to replace the Normal distribution. Like the Lognormal, the 2-parameter Weibull distribution also has a zero threshold. But with increasing numbers of parameters, statistical models are more flexible as to the distributions that they may represent, and so the 3-parameter Weibull, which includes a minimum expected value, is very adaptable in modelling many types of data. A 3-parameter Lognormal is also available as discussed in Bury (1999). 

Model statistics include R, adjusted R and root mean squared error. Parameter statistics are the estimated regression coefficients and associated statistics.

In the Poisson and binomial distributions, the mean and variance are not independent quantities, and in the Poisson distribution they are equal. This is not an appropriate description of most measurements or observations, where the variance depends on the type of experiment. For example, a series of repeated weighings of an object will give an average value, but the spread of the observed values will depend on the quality and precision of the balance used. In other words, the mean and variance are independent quantities, and different two parameter statistical distribution functions are needed to describe these situations. The most celebrated such function is the Gaussian, or normal, distribution ...

A data set is often considered as a sample from a population and the sample parameters calculated from the data set as estimates of the population parameters (-> statistical indices). Moreover, it is usually used to calculate statistical models such as quantitative -> structure/response correlations. In this case the data set is organized into a data matrix X with n rows and p columns, where each row corresponds to an object of the data set and each column to a variable therefore each element represent the value of the yth variable for the ith object (/ = 1,. .., n j = 1,. .., p). 

Equation (23) is then calibrated with experimental data obtained from pilot-scale field tests. A secondary effluent has a = 10 , (3 = 1.947, y = 0.3233, X = 0, and k = p = -2.484 (19). Owing to the variability in the experimental data as well as the influent characteristics and operational parameters, statistical analysis such as Monte Carlo technique can subsequently be combined with the calibrated model for the design of the UV disinfection unit. This approach was developed by Loge and co-workers interested readers may refer to their original manuscripts for more detailed information (19,22,27,28). 

A certain variability of this parameter is likely both in the measured values and the calculated values. Typically programs to calculate log/ consider the presence of atoms and fragments of the molecules. Thus the predictive models based on log/, even if they are apparently based on a single parameter, rely on many more parameters, statistically identified within the different programs to calculate log/. There are several logP programs that are commer-... 

The sample mean and sample variance are usually not equal to the population mean and population variance, although they are similar in meaning. These sample statistics help approximate the population parameters. Statistical tests and assumptions of the expected distribution of sample data provide intervals that should confidently contain the population parameters, as discussed in Section 3.3. 

The ICRP 66 model employs 10 input parameters for the determination of regional deposition fraction. These input parameters were varied according to their characteristic distributions, in an effort to perform uncertainty analysis of regional deposition fraction. The parameter particle aerodynamic diameter d (Table 27.1), is dependent on the AMAD distribution of the aerosol, and cannot be varied with respect to the uncertainty analysis. The remaining nine parameters (Table 27.1) are independent and are varied to determine the uncertainty in regional deposition fraction estimates. The resulting estimates are fitted to known distributions and described by their characteristic parameters. Statistical analyses were performed on input...

There is no doubt that until recently the most that we knew in bioinformatics was due to the availability of very useful computer programs. But that does not mean that further improvements are not possible Very recently, at least a 45-year-old problem of protein sequence alignment, which many believed could not be solved mathematically exactly, has been solved exactly. Exactly means without use of approximations, such as empirical parameters, statistical information, scoring based on penalties for gaps, insertions and deletions, and of course, without use of...
