To prevent further disclosure of confidential information, Guinness prohibited its employees from publishing any papers. The reason for this is that another researcher at Guinness had previously published a paper that revealed some trade secrets of the company. However, despite his high standing in the field, Gosset's most significant work was not published under his own name. In fact, Gosset was for long the only figure on friendly terms with both Pearson and Ronald Fisher (see Chapter 8's Famous Statistician). Gosset's work generally dealt with very small sample sizes, whereas Pearson's work in biometrics generally had very large sample sizes. Gosset had a good relationship with Karl Pearson (see Chapter 1's Famous Statistician), and Pearson helped Gosset with a number of his papers, although he never fully appreciated their significance. From 1899 onwards he worked for the Guinness brewery in Dublin, Ireland, applying his statistical knowledge to the selection of the best yielding varieties of barley. He was born in Canterbury in the UK in 1876 and went on to study chemistry and mathematics at Oxford University.
William Gosset is perhaps the most famous statistician of all time, but he is not usually referred to by his real name.
Use MATLAB to perform appropriate Student's t-tests to determine if either operation time or recovery time was significantly different for patients having surgery with the new technology.
Now what can you say about the differences between them? 4. Use MATLAB to compute 95% confidence intervals for the four samples. Do you think there will be a statistically significant difference in either the operation or recovery time? 3. Read the four samples into MATLAB and plot histograms to visualize them. one-sample, two-sample, paired/unpaired?) 2. “image_guided_recovery.txt”: recovery time for the 7 patients who underwent image-guided surgery. “image_guided_optime.txt”: operation time for the 7 patients who underwent image-guided surgery. “standard_recovery.txt”: recovery time for the 14 patients who underwent standard conventional surgery. “standard_optime.txt”: operation time for the 14 patients who underwent standard conventional surgery. The data can be found in the following files available from the book's web site: ■ Seven of the patients underwent surgery using the new technology, and the other 14 had standard conventional surgery. For each patient, the data consist of the operation time in minutes and the subsequent hospital stay in days. The researchers would like to test if their technology results in shorter operation and recovery times, and to this end, they have gathered data from 21 patients. Image-guided surgery involves aligning preoperative images with the physical space of the operating theater and visualizing them to help surgeons perform operations more quickly and safely. For our second group, 22 subjects experienced a partner of lower status with the average number of conforming responses being x ¯ L o w = 9.955 with a sample variance of s L o w 2 = 27.855.Ī group of researchers has developed a new “image-guided surgery” technology for neurosurgery. In the conformity example, 23 subjects experienced a partner of higher status with the average number of conforming responses being x ¯ H i g h = 14.217 with variance s H i g h 2 = 19.087. We will be interested in the sample averages from both samples from population one and population two- x ¯ 1 and x ¯ 2, respectively-the sample variances for both samples from population one and population two- s 1 2 and s 2 2, respectively-and the sample size for both samples- n 1 and n 2. Here, our question has expanded to two samples and we will need summaries from both of these samples. In the one-sample t-test for means, we required the sample mean x ¯, the sample standard deviation s, and the sample size n to calculate our test statistic and p-values.
