Editorial: You may feel your research is significant, but is it significant enough for us?

Is it a statistically significant anomaly?

Remote sensing, medical imaging, and time-lapse seismic monitoring have common challenges in change detection. In this paper we introduce a statistical procedure developed in medical imaging to determine if anomalies in time-lapse seismic data are statistically significant. Using seismic data redundancy, we construct maps of statistical variation and apply an adaptive thresholding to them. The ...

Statistical significance: is it really that significant?

Your Chi-Square Test is Statistically Significant: Now What?

Applied researchers have employed chi-square tests for more than one hundred years. This paper addresses the question of how one should follow a statistically significant chi-square test result in order to determine the source of that result. Four approaches were evaluated: calculating residuals, comparing cells, ransacking, and partitioning. Data from two recent journal articles were used to i...

What you see is what you feel

In this paper, we will present an approach to design a more natural user interface without taking resort to special haptic input/output devices. Tactile sensations like stickiness, touch, or mass can be evoked by applying tiny displacements upon cursor movements. Our active cursor method exploits the domination of the visual over the haptic domain. We will show that interactive animations can b...
