Random Rants 92 - Not Enough Snerk

You're reading indeed too much into that ^^.
What I meant is that as rule of thumb 20-25 samples for a non-parametric test should often give more than sufficient results (don't ask me where I got that from though).
The small differenc between 2nd+3rd are probably unlikely. The main point is the difference between 1st+4th, and I guess the chance there is higher.

EDIT: Should be mentioned that I've always worked with more tightly controlled stuff, and that the normal sample size in the lab was often 3 per group. Didn't work with any population cohorts etc, and also nothing medical, so was never a problem lol.

Fair enough generally, but I hope you do not use that rule of thumb for anything important, it does not sound very accurate to me. The rule of thumb I do use WRT the Mann-Whitney is that if used on normally distributed data you only lose about 5% of the power of the t-test, but if the data is even slightly skewed then you very quickly get that power back and it can very easily be more powerful.

I've never had control over the amount of samples, and if it was more than 4, then simply because there was a cohort which had more than 4 .
So no, nothing really important, at least not from my side.

We use vertebrates, and before we do anything we have to do a power analysis to show that we are likely to see what we are looking for. So while we may not actually have control over the number of samples (that is kind of defined by how much money we have) we at least need to show that the number we have will be enough (and not too many).

Middle of May and we're already getting Summer weather. They're predicting 90F/32C for the weekend, maybe higher.

Where do you live?

It’s that temperature where I am right now

No air conditioning

But you already have more refrigeration!

does this count as sexual harassment?

 

[Samson]

And bird flu.

 

[Takhisis]

Hygro has bird flu?

 

[Hygro]

I do have a stomach bug. Leave it to the foreigners to mess me up.

 

[Takhisis]

We really should get on and do what those scientists wanted and rebuild you as a hygrobot.

And now monkeypox?

The weekend forecast has gone up: They're predicting 95F/35C now.

The US has our first case of the year, currently hospitalized at Mass. General. CNN says the CDC isn't sure where the guy got it. He'd recently been to Canada, but Canada doesn't report any cases.

On the last one; could perhaps be tracked back to someone doing something to a monkey. And before that someone had soft-boiled bat thinking that was a great idea.

Listen folks, maybe we should just let everything loose so that humankind can fizzle out as a result of its perpetual stupidity?

The only conclusion that I can draw from this is that Irish cooking, described by the Irish themselves™ as boiling everything for at least three hours, is the only safe way for humans to consume animals.
