Statistical design and analysis for a 'biological effects' study
Open accessAbstract
Statistical aspects of 'biological effects' field surveys are discussed, with particular reference to the GEEP Workshop.Recommendations are made on design criteria, for example, selection of sites and samples, and replication strategies (including formulae for sample size determination) The role of transforinations is discussed, both for univariate sub-lethal response data and the mulbvariate data arising from benthic community studies.Statistical analysis is categorised into testing methods, for establishing biological differences between field sites, and descriptive techniques, for representation of those differences.The former includes a non-parametric randomisation test for use with site-species arrays and the latter a survey of various multivariate ordination and clustering methods A final section outlines a procedure for comparison of different pollution indices, combining their power to detect specific contaminant inputs with their associated 'costs'

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.
