standard error Definition and 23 Threads

What is the standard error of the coefficient of variation in an exponential distribution?

Does the S.E. of $38.72 mean, I sould expect to win or lose up to $77.4 (2x S.E), 95% of the time?

The mean of some data was 21.2°C, the standard deviation was 2, and the standard error was 0.8. My textbook says that using one standard deviation, we would report the temperature of the substance as 21.2 ± 2°C, while using the standard error, the temperature would be reported as 21.2 ± 0.8°C...

While I will not be showing the graph here, I am trying to dissect what the question even means. While I do understand that relative uncertainty can be found via the equation ##\frac{\sigma_A}{A}##, I do not understand how I can find the "relative uncertainty of SEM". Does anybody here have any...

Hello. Math is not my strongest part, yet, so I will be very grateful for your help and for giving the answer in sort of "plain" English, meaning that it will be great if you don't go too deep into the rabbit hole using difficult terminology, as these distribution issues are truly difficult for...

Gurus, can you help please? I've been given a set of samples, each has different sample size and mean (but not individual observations). I'm trying to figure out the population standard deviation so that I can estimate required sample size for certain confidence intervals. My question is how...

Question: By mapping the OLS regression into the GMM framework, write the formula for the standard error of the OLS regression coefficients that corrects for autocorrelation but *not* heteroskedasticity. Furthermore, show that in this case, the conventional standard errors are OK if the $x$'s...

Let's say a student does a simple experiment where she conducts 10 trials at each x value (at each value of the independent variable). She collects data over 30 x values, giving her 300 total trials. For each of the 30 x values, she averages the 10 y values and she calculates the standard...

Dear Fellows, If we fit our data to a quadratic equation then What is meant by standard error for linear and quaratic coefficients ? I know that standard error is the standard deviation from the Sampling data. But for individual coefficients what is its interpretation ? Best Wishes Masood

Homework Statement I know that standard error is to calculate how the sample deviate from the population. But standard deviation divide √n ,then will get it. And I don't understand why there is a T/n from the picture I uploaded. Please help Homework Equations Standard error x sqrt(n)...

Homework Statement I am using a value of change in y say 12.10 cm + or - .06cm. I am trying to find velocity using the formula v= sqrt(2*g*change in y) how do I evaluate this equation with my standard error? because I can't just add or subtract the .06cm after since I will have a...

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if there is an effective answer to my problem, but here goes: I am working on Ramachandran plots for short peptides (3 amino acids long). For every snapshot of the protein (this would be my data point) there are two angles being recorded, the phi and psi angles...

Hello, Just had a question regarding statistical analysis. I'm trying to calculate the average of 4 numbers from a data set of 6 numbers in excel without manually choosing to average only the 4 numbers. e.g. 85 20 32 45 27 3 (total mean = 35.3 desired mean = 31) 100 30 27 40 21 1...

So I have a situation that I keep confusing myself with: I am running a computer simulation that, after a set number of iterations (a block) will output the running average (mean) of a property and the standard error based on the previous blocks. So, as the simulation runs, these standard...

Hi all, I've done a regression and have the Standard Error of the X co-efficient (i.e. the slope). How do I change this figure to the standard deviation? Is the formula STD DEV = (STD ERROR)/(degrees of freedom)^0.5 Where degrees of freedom = N - number of X coefficients. ...

Homework Statement Hi, I have this question that is bothering me. If I have a large set of data, each with its unique error uncertainty. How do I get the average error uncertainty from all the data points? Do I simply use the equation below: (∆ Z) ² = (∆A)² + (∆B)² And divide...

Hi, How do you calculate the Mean and standard error of a data set without having to crunch all the numbers? I have a set of data with 45 entries and numbers in the tens of thousands and was wondering if there was a way to calculate these without have to punch hundreds of number into a...

Hi, I have a regular OLS regression that includes a variable both by itself and squared (i.e. y=b0+b1*x+b2*x^2). I am interested in the marginal effect of the variable at the mean. I know how to get the point estimate, but does anyone know how to get standard errors for the marginal effect...

Hello my hard rocking amigos!:smile: I have a question about standard error. If I had a single sample, I could infer the population mean by using the sample standard deviation (n-1 version of s.d.), and then dividing this by the square root of the sample size to get the standard error, which...

hi, just wondering if there different ways to calculate the standard error for large and small sample size and if its so wats the formula we use? please give me a hand, hope this question makes sense. cheers
