Biostatistics is a branch of statistics that applies statistical methods to a wide range of topics in biology. It encompasses the design of biological experiments,the collection and analysis of data from those experiments and the interpretation of the results.
Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. Chemometrics is inherently interdisciplinary,using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics,applied mathematics,and computer science,in order to address problems in chemistry,biochemistry,medicine,biology and chemical engineering. In this way,it mirrors other interdisciplinary fields,such as psychometrics and econometrics.
Mann–Whitney test is a nonparametric test of the null hypothesis that,for randomly selected values X and Y from two populations,the probability of X being greater than Y is equal to the probability of Y being greater than X.
Robert Anthony Pape Jr. is an American political scientist who studies national and international security affairs,with a focus on air power,American and international political violence,social media propaganda,and terrorism. He is currently a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and founder and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST).
Quantitative psychology is a field of scientific study that focuses on the mathematical modeling,research design and methodology,and statistical analysis of psychological processes. It includes tests and other devices for measuring cognitive abilities. Quantitative psychologists develop and analyze a wide variety of research methods,including those of psychometrics,a field concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement.

In statistics,a random effects model,also called a variance components model,is a statistical model where the model parameters are random variables. It is a kind of hierarchical linear model,which assumes that the data being analysed are drawn from a hierarchy of different populations whose differences relate to that hierarchy. A random effects model is a special case of a mixed model.
