Evaluating Information Retrieval Metrics Based on Bootstrap Hypothesis Tests
2007
IPSJ Digital Courier
We demonstrate the usefulness of our methods using four different data sets (i.e., test collections and submitted runs) from the NTCIR CLIR track series for comparing seven IR metrics, including those ...
that can handle graded relevance and those based on the Geometric Mean. ...
Figures 10, 11, 12 and 13 plot, for each IR metric, the Paired/Unpaired Bootstrap ASLs of all system pairs for the NTCIR-3 Chinese/Japanese data. ...

Trial Design and Analysis with Incomplete Paired Data
2015
Current Research in Biostatistics
For a clinical trial design with paired data, it often involves missing observations. In such a case, the data from the trial become a mixture of paired and unpaired data. ...
We will show how to design classical and adaptive trials with the proposed method. The proposed method can also be used for meta-analysis, in which, some trials with paired data and some are not. ...
Their method is based on the paired comparison set of responses augmented by a set of missing data indicators for each comparison. ...

Diversity in Reproductive Health and Human Sexuality: Assessing Attitudes Comfort and Knowledge in Learners Before and After Pilot Curriculum
2021
Family Medicine
We performed unpaired 1-tailed t tests and χ2 tests to compare the scores on the pre- and postcourse surveys. Sample size was 12 students for the first cohort and 23 students for the second cohort. ...
A disparity between the classroom and virtual setting suggests limitations of online learning for these topics. ...
Data were pooled rather than paired, as this was a pilot series intended to assess efficacy of the course, and there was concern for high drop-out rates. ...

Statistical Significance, Power, and Sample Sizes
2016
Proceedings of the 39th International ACM SIGIR conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval - SIGIR '16
From those papers that reported enough information for us to conduct power analysis, we identify extremely overpowered and underpowered experiments, as well as appropriate sample sizes for future experiments ...
Our hope is that this study will help improve the reporting practices and experimental designs of future IR effectiveness studies. ...
Acknowledgement We thank Professor Hideki Toyoda (Waseda University) for letting us modify his R code and distribute it. ...

Designing Test Collections for Comparing Many Systems
2014
Proceedings of the 23rd ACM International Conference on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management - CIKM '14
We demonstrate that, as different evaluation measures have different variances across topics, they inevitably require different topic set sizes. ...
We provide practical solutions to researchers like her using power analysis and sample size design techniques, and demonstrate its usefulness for several IR tasks and evaluation measures. ...

Inference and sample size calculation for clinical trials with incomplete observations of paired binary outcomes
2016
Statistics in Medicine
We propose a hybrid estimator to appropriately account for the mixed nature of observed data: paired outcomes from those who contribute complete pairs of observations and unpaired outcomes from those who ...
We investigate the estimation of intervention effect and sample size determination for experiments where subjects are supposed to contribute paired binary outcomes with some incomplete observations. ...

Why we need to report more than 'Data were Analyzed by t-tests or ANOVA'
2018
eLife
This systematic review examines the quality of reporting for two statistical tests, t-tests and ANOVA, for papers published in a selection of physiology journals in June 2017. ...
Transparent reporting is essential for the critical evaluation of studies. However, the reporting of statistical methods for studies in the biomedical sciences is often limited. ...
We do not expect paired data to be negatively correlated -if this happens it is important to review the experimental design and data to ensure that everything is correct. ...

Topic set size design
2015
Information retrieval (Boston)
We employ Nagata's three sample size design techniques, which are based on the paired t test, one-way ANOVA, and confidence intervals, respectively. ...
These topic set size design methods require topic-by-run score matrices from past test collections for the purpose of estimating the within-system population variance for a particular evaluation measure ...
Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Yasushi Nagata of Waseda University for his valuable advice, and to the guest editors and reviewers for their constructive feedback. ...
