This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

Review challenges in the use of normality testing situations and recommendations on how to assess data distributions in the pharmaceutical development manufacturing environment Statisticians ...

Consider the problem of finding a predictive density of a new observation drawn independently of observations sampled from a multivariate normal distribution with the same unknown mean vector and the ...

Forecasting for any small business involves guesswork. You know your business and its past performance, but you may not be comfortable predicting the future. Using Excel is a great way to perform what ...

The normal distribution is pretty cool. It’s a mathematically determined probability distribution that does a good job of describing the patterns of variability between scores for many variables in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The problem of sequentially testing whether the mean of a normal distribution is positive has been approximated by the continuous analogue ...

The normal distribution (also known as the Gaussian distribution) is arguably the most important distribution in Statistics. It is often used to represent continuous random variables occurring in ...
