Central Limit Theorem: A sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large. This is true no matter what the population distribution is.

Networks are a popular tool for representing elements in a system and their interconnectedness. Many observed networks can be viewed as only samples of some true underlying network. Such is frequently ...

Variables-sampling plans are more efficient than attributes-sampling plans. If the quality characteristic is the life of a product, however, variables sampling can be very time consuming and expensive ...

Dynamic Image Analysis directly addresses micro-flow imaging’s inherent scalability and workflow limitations. Both ...

With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...

Here are four programs that demonstrate sampling distributions. For each one, a "population" of 20,000 elements is established. The user selects a sample size and random samples are drawn from the ...
