Synopsis

This academic book investigates the nature of statistical constants determined from small data samples. In the development of the field, researchers often applied laws derived from large sets of measurements to situations involving just a few dozen entries without considering the effect of this discrepancy. The author presents statistical analysis and empirical evidence to provide insight into this potential source of error. Exploring the underlying theory behind the statistical formulas and conducting an experiment with 990 data points, the text demonstrates how conclusions drawn from small-sample sets may differ subtly but significantly from those based on larger populations. Understanding these nuances is crucial for researchers and scholars reliant on statistical methods. This book illuminates the impact of sample size on statistical accuracy and enhances the reliability of data-driven decision-making.
