Error in statistical tests of error in statistical tests

BACKGROUND A recent paper found that terminal digits of statistical values in Nature deviated significantly from an equiprobable distribution, indicating errors or inconsistencies in rounding. This finding, as well as the discovery that a large percentage of p values were inconsistent with reported test statistics, led to a great deal of concern in the popular press and scientific community. Th...

Statistical Error in

We present predictions for the statistical error due to nite sampling in the presence of thermal uctuations in molecular simulation algorithms. The expressions are derived using equilibrium statistical mechanics. The results show that the number of samples needed to adequately resolve the owweld scales as the inverse square of the Mach number. Agreement of the theory with direct Monte Carlo sim...

Statistical uncertainty and error propagation

This lecture is about some of the basics of uncertainty: the use of variances and covariances to express statistical uncertainty (“error bars”, error ellipses); we are concentrating on the uncertainties of geographic co-ordinates. This makes it necessary to talk about geodetic datums – alternative ways of fixing the starting point(s) used for fixing geodetic co-ordinates in a network solution. ...

II The Error - Statistical Philosophy

Despite the challenges to and changes in traditional philosophy of science, one of its primary tasks continues to be to explain if not also to justify, scientific methodologies for learning about the world. To logical empiricist philosophers (Carnap, Reichenbach) the task was to show that science proceeds by objective rules for appraising hypotheses. To that end many attempted to set out formal...
