Testing linear combinations of normal group means with unequal variances and possibly unequal samples sizes using a t-statistic is a well known problem for which the effective degrees of freedom are unknown. ? and ? set forth their approximations based on the ratio of combinations of fourth moments, and their methodology remains the de facto standard. We propose a new approach that extends thei...

Statistical tests are very important in biomedical research.1 Several factors play a role in selecting the most appropriate statistical test.2 The misuse or inaccurate use of a statistical test may navigate the research in the wrong direction, and hence incorrect conclusions. Because it is probably the most commonly used statistical test, Student’s t-test is considered “the bread and butter” of...

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the critical predictors affecting project desertion in Blockchain projects. Background: is one innovations that disrupt a broad range industries and has attracted interest software developers. However, despite being an open-source (OSS) project, maintenance ultimately relies on small core developers, it still uncertain whether technology will c...
