signal to noise ratios Flashcards
Signal to noise ratio
Account mean difference and SD
-how big mean difference between groups relative to variability of data.
signal
difference in mean.
noise
average variability.(noise or error)
what does it mean if signal different to noise
real difference.
T mean
signal to noise ratio
Signal formula
mean(group 1)- mean(group 2.)
Noise
SD(group 1)+ SD (group 2.)/2
Therefore T value formula
Signal/noise
when is T large
if mean difference is large and Variability is low
(sig difference)
what does large t signalise
good signal to noise ratio
Induction
larger t more confident sample representative to population
T distribution(histrogram)
peak-frequent.
tail-infrequent.
(as is para)
T distribution(p value)
to look at t results and find proability of getting value is p<0.05= lower 5% error it means its statistically sig.
