Statistical Analysis Methods for the fMRI Data
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur in active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts of br...
متن کاملCredit Card Fraud Detection using Data mining and Statistical Methods
Due to today’s advancement in technology and businesses, fraud detection has become a critical component of financial transactions. Considering vast amounts of data in large datasets, it becomes more difficult to detect fraud transactions manually. In this research, we propose a combined method using both data mining and statistical tasks, utilizing feature selection, resampling and cost-...
متن کاملStatistical analysis and interpretation of prenatal diagnostic imaging studies, Part 2: descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
The objective of this article is to discuss the rationale for common statistical tests used for the analysis and interpretation of prenatal diagnostic imaging studies. Examples from the literature are used to illustrate descriptive and inferential statistics. The uses and limitations of linear and logistic regression analyses are discussed in detail.
متن کاملStatistical Methods for Linguistic Research: Foundational Ideas - Part I
We present the fundamental ideas underlying statistical hypothesis testing using the frequentist framework. We start with a simple example that builds up the one-sample t-test from the beginning, explaining important concepts such as the sampling distribution of the sample mean, and the iid assumption. Then we examine the meaning of the p-value in detail, and discuss several important misconcep...
متن کاملUnderstanding Data Better with Bayesian and Global Statistical Methods
To understand their data better, astronomers need to use statistical tools that are more advanced than traditional \freshman lab" statistics. As an illustration, the problem of combining apparently incompatible measurements of a quantity (the Hubble constant, e.g.) is presented from both the traditional, and a more sophisticated Bayesian, perspective. Explicit formulas are given for both treatm...
