The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

Mean, Median, Mode

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

2. Consider the ODE u' = ƒ (u) = u² + r where r is a parameter that can take the values r = −1, −0.5, -0.1, 0.1. For each value of r: (a) Sketch ƒ(u) = u² + r and determine the equilibrium points. (b) Draw the phase line. (d) Determine the stability of the equilibrium points. (d) Plot the direction field and some sample solutions,i.e., u(t) (e) Describe how location of the equilibrium points and their stability change as you increase the parameter r. (f) Using the matlab program phaseline.m generate a solution for each value of r and the initial condition u(0) = 0.9. Print and turn in your result for r = −1. Do not forget to add a figure caption. (g) In the matlab program phaseline.m set the initial condition to u(0) = 1.1 and simulate the ode over the time interval t = [0, 10] for different values of r. What happens? Why? You do not need to turn in a plot for (g), just describe what happens.

The following are suggested designs for group sequential studies. Using PROCSEQDESIGN, provide the following for the design O’Brien Fleming and Pocock.• The critical boundary values for each analysis of the data• The expected sample sizes at each interim analysisAssume the standardized Z score method for calculating boundaries.Investigators are evaluating the success rate of a novel drug for treating a certain type ofbacterial wound infection. Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
