| May 11, 2011 at 18:27 | comment | added | InterestedGuest | I think you might benefit from asking this question on stats stackexchange -- I flagged the question so maybe it will be moved over there. | |
| May 11, 2011 at 18:11 | comment | added | J. M. is not a statistician | If more people read Hooke's How to Tell the Liars from the Statisticians, maybe there won't be as many "statistical suckers" as we now have in the world. | |

| May 11, 2011 at 17:55 | comment | added | El'endia Starman | This is only a very partial answer, so I won't actually post it as an answer. You ARE correct that complex statistics need larger populations; you're referring to the concept of "degrees of freedom", which is simply the number of independent variables minus one. Also, when doing something like a p-test, your rejection threshold depends on the number of degrees of freedom in addition to the p-value you chose (typically .05). | |
