#statistical-methods — Public Fediverse posts

A #study from the #Oxford Internet Institute analysed 445 #AIbenchmarks, finding that many #oversell #AIperformance and lack scientific rigour. The study highlights issues like #uncleardefinitions, #datareuse, and inadequate #statisticalmethods, calling for more rigorous and transparent benchmark criteria. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/ai-chatgpt-test-smart-capabilities-may-exaggerated-flawed-study-rcna241969?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Mapping trait-associated cells with spatial transcriptomics

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered numerous genetic variants associated with complex traits. However, a critical gap remains…

My son and his lab partner are conducting a survey on the "Relationship Between Violent Video Games and Aggression" for his Psychology 319: Research Designs and Intermediate Statistical Methods in Psychology course at University. If you could help him and his assignment partner out, that would be fantastic!

Boosts welcomed and appreciated!

New in European Science Editing: Nearly 1/2 of health sciences journals in South Africa don't mention statistics in their instructions for authors or make cursory references. Gina Joubert concludes that editors & publishers must give more detail on reporting requirements for statistical methods in quantitative research articles.

More on "UNCLASSIFIED": there are 36,520 of those sites right now. (Despite knowing better I keep diving in and classifying more of them.)

It's not practical to list all of them. But we can randomly sample. And large-sample statistics start to apply at about n=30, so let's just grab 30 of those sites at random using sort -R | head -30:

   1  sfg.io
   1  extroverteddeveloper.com
   2  letmego.com
   1  thestrad.com
   2  bombmagazine.org
   1  domlaut.com
   1  bootstrap.io
   1  jumpdriveair.com
   2  desmos.com
   1  leo32345.com
   1  echopen.org
   1  schd.ws
   1  web3us.com
   7  akkartik.name
   1  bcardarella.com
   1  cancerletter.com
   1  platinumgames.com
   1  industrytap.com
   2  worldoftea.org
   1  motion.ai
   1  vectorly.io
   2  enterprise.google.com
   1  lift-heavy.com
   1  davidpeter.me
   1  panoye.com
   3  thestrategybridge.org
   2  fontsquirrel.com
   1  kettunen.io
   1  moogfoundation.org
   2  elekslabs.com

That's a few foundations, a few blogs, a corporate site (enterprise.google.com), and something about tea, all with a small number of posts (1--7).

I'm looking at some slightly larger samples (60--100) here on my own system, and can actually make some comparisons across samples (to see how much variance there is) which can give some more information on tuning what I would expect to find under the "UNCLASSIFIED" sites.

Which is one way of using #StatisticalMethods to make estimates where direct measurement or assessment is impractical.

@jiejie

Let's not contribute to #Ai hysteria (pro or against).

Technology based on #statisticalMethods of #textAnalysis, that generates text (it actually makes predictions based on #statisticalProbability of what should come next in a sentence), has no conscience or feelings.

What will become of it in the future, I can't say for certain.
