Sentences with phrase «large number of observations»

In general, survey results based on larger numbers of observations are more precise, that is, less prone to sampling variance than those made across groups with fewer numbers of observations.

In general, survey responses based on larger numbers of observations are more precise, that is, less prone to sampling variance, than those made across groups with fewer numbers of observations.

«Our synthesis of data from a large number of observation points across the globe is unique and serves an important need.»

Naturally, sample size is crucial because skill only surfaces with a large number of observations.

That there are only 3 such variables, when the diagnostic involves a larger number of observations and hence whitened discrepancies, reflects the higher dimensional set of whitened discrepancies all having to lie on a 3D hypersurface (assumed flat) spanned by the parameters.

«Our synthesis of data from a large number of observation points across the globe is unique and serves an important need.»

Agreement found in the probability matching may be meaningful, when we are looking at an empirical ensemble where a large number of observations are done for a quantity that has it's own probability distribution determined by inherent random variability of the quantity.

We should note that the rank histogram technique is often used in the field of numerical weather prediction where a larger number of observations and simulations are available (and thus the effective degrees of freedom are greater) compared to the present work.

With regard to the sample size required for valid application of this modeling approach, we are hesitant to speak of sufficient sample sizes, since a large number of observations with little score variation over time (as in our second empirical application) does not necessarily provide richer information than a smaller sample with more fluctuations.
