Table for Ascertaining Whether Differences between Percentages are Statistically Significant at the 1% Level

A Framework for Finding Statistically Significant Differences

In the questionnaire analysis, finding whether there is a statistically significant difference between two or more groups in a continuous measure is one of the major problems in researches. However, it is difficult for researchers to solve the issue of finding possible statistically significant difference, namely “Statistically Significant Difference Unawareness Issue”. There are two causes to ...

Sequence analysis Proteny: discovering and visualizing statistically significant syntenic clusters at the proteome level

Background: With more and more genomes being sequenced, detecting synteny between genomes becomes more and more important. However, for microorganisms the genomic divergence quickly becomes large, resulting in different codon usage and shuffling of gene order and gene elements such as exons. Results: We present Proteny, a methodology to detect synteny between diverged genomes. It operates on th...

DBit: Assessing Statistically Significant Differences in CDN Performance

As the volume of content served by content distribution networks (CDNs) grows, these networks evolve to improve performance. Their performance is difficult to characterize because it depends on a number of factors. In this paper, we develop a methodology called DBit that can determine whether one CDN’s user-perceived performance is statistically different from another. We validate DBit and demo...
