Modified t Tests and Confidence Intervals for Asymmetrical Populations
Abstract
This article considers a procedure that reduces the effect of population skewness on the distribution of the t variable so that tests about the mean can be more correctly computed. A modification of the t variable is obtained that is useful for distributions with skewness as severe as that of the exponential distribution. The procedure is generalized and applied to the jackknife t variable for a class of statistics with moments similar to those of the sample mean. Tests of the correlation coefficient obtained using this procedure are compared empirically with corresponding tests determined using Fisher's z transformation and the usual jackknife estimate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
