This was until his death. In saying we cannot measure a temperature which Galileo also did is to support the Catholic church in saying that we are ignorant. I think the Catholic church accepts that it was wrong about Galileo. Edited on 31-05-2020 07:57

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I have a Milwaukee temperature gun and the variance in any room in the house can be 10.C or more so I claim the average temperature of the room can not be known exactly so how the average global temperature can be known is also a mystery then the claim of something we do not know is slightly different from something we do not know makes interesting reading.Not sure about the Catholic Analogy

So every time you need to know the temperature of a room, you ask yourself "Will I be satisfied with a margin of error of 10 deg C?" If you are fine with that margin of error then you take one measurement and you are done. You record your temperature as X +/- 10 deg C. If that is not acceptable, you can measure the temperature in the eight corners of the room (presuming a rectangular prism shape) and the center, take a straight average and you should (depending on the room your mileage may vary) be operating within a margin of error of less than 2 deg C however you could fine-tune your estimate by statistically weighting your measurements using standard deviation. That will likely get you within one degree C margin of error. Again, of course everything depends on the specifics of the room. . I don't think i can [define it].

gfm7175★★★★★ (3314)	tmiddles' homework, as posted earlier in this thread by ITN: The highest temperature recorded on Earth's surface was 134.1 degF. The lowest temperature recorded on Earth's surface was -128.6 degF. These measurements form the limits of variance, not the margin of error. It is not unusual for temperature to vary as much as 20 deg F per mile. Such times can take place across weather fronts, within range of mountain compression waves, or even the difference between a hot parking lot and a cool forest nearby. I use this value for the variance itself. With a single thermometer, therefore, using these numbers and limits of variance, it's accuracy of measurement is +-131 deg F. Using 10000 thermometers gives the same margin of error. We simply do not have enough thermometers in the world to reduce the margin of error below this value.

Yes which is clearly wrong if one means to identify the "margin of error" which is universally expressed as a positive number only and a percentage, not a unit value. That is if someone is talking about statistics and not some personal and private discipline. "A margin of error tells you how many percentage points your results will differ from the real population value. For example, a 95% confidence interval with a 4 percent margin of error means that your statistic will be within 4 percentage points of the real population value 95% of the time." Variance on the other hand is what ITN DID identify was the range of historical measurements. A fairly arbitrary and useless thing to identify. It remains entirely unclear, as he refuses to discuss what he wrote, what he meant.

Notice that the author writes ""It provides a range of reasonable values in which we expect the population parameter to fall." Those individual values must be specific values and cannot be "ranges" as you are asserting. For example, if I want to take the temperature of a room right now, I don't consider "confidence" ... I consider margin of error. However, if I am building a system that is going to heat that room then yes, I need to speak in terms of my confidence that the system will achieve a temperature within a particular margin of error ... and I will certainly have a range of conditions under which I am more confident than under others. In these cases, the margin of error is assumed as part of "the temperature" and I compute the probabilities that my goals will be met which will form a range of values. As you read that section, notice that the context is in predicting a future event, and in your confidence of certain events unfolding in a certain way ... vs the actual measurement of those events which is simply a here-and-now measurement with margin of error. Margin of Error: Measurement Confidence Level: Prediction of Future Events/Outcomes So, when Into the Night says that there is no confidence interval in measurement, he is correct. Measurement is not the prediction of events. Why? Because statistics is math, not science. Science, through math, predicts nature. Math alone can only give you probabilities. .

When Into the Night specified that there is no range of confidence levels in a measurement, he was completely correct. Your insistence that context doesn't matter is dishonest and Into the Night isn't going to simply repeat an answer that he already gave. I'll repeat what I wrote previously: For measurements -> we discuss margin of error For predicting events (or results or findings) -> we discuss confidence levels ... and ... confidence levels pertain to measurement values that include margin of error. tmiddles wrote: IBdaMann wrote:Confidence Level: Prediction of Future Events/Outcomes So you're saying a confidence level only applies to future events and not the present? I don't think that's right. I don't think you are clear on what you are thinking. If you measure a wall and find it to be of length 27 meters 13.443 cm +/- 0.09 cm ... your tolerance is the +/- 0.09 cm. Confidence level does not apply because you have measured the wall and you are now 100% confident, i.e. absolutely certain, that the wall is 27 meters 13.443 cm +/- 0.09 cm. If before you measure the length of the wall you were to study the construction processes of the builder and find that this type of wall is supposed to be built to within 0.7 cm of the specified length which happens to be 27 meters 11 cm in this case, and you find that the builder normally overbuilds because of reliance on uncalibrated equipment, you can declare a low confidence that the wall will meet specifications (because you haven't measured yet). You can base your confidence levels on the previous measurements of the varying types of walls (i.e. data) and develop a range of confidence levels for different types of walls and for the differing uncalibrated equipment that was used. None of this pertains to, or affects, the actual measurements of any walls. Feel free to work through the past, present and future tense as necessary to get a better understanding of the full context. Perhaps one way for you to look at it is to consider that "confidence" only applies in a situation where we do not know and must speculate based on past data and experience, whereas margin of error applies to measurements where we are "finding out" and getting an answer.

So why don't you show a margin of error being calculated for something? Anything at all. I'll be very interested to see how you avoid a confidence level. So here we go. Examples from Statistics texts on confidence interval: Introductory Statistics ISBN-10: 1938168208 Publish Date: Sep 19, 2013 "A confidence interval is another type of estimate but, instead of being just one number, it is an interval of numbers. It provides a range of reasonable values in which we expect the population parameter to fall. There is no guarantee that a given confidence interval does capture the parameter, but there is a predictable probability of success." Introductory Statistics ISBN 13: 9781453344873 Publish Date: Nov 29, 2017 "A problem with a point estimate is that it gives no indication of how reliable the estimate is. In contrast, in this chapter we learn about interval estimation. In brief, in the case of estimating a population mean μ we use a formula to compute from the data a number E, called the margin of error of the estimate, and form the interval [x−−−E,x−−+E]. We do this in such a way that a certain proportion, say 95%, of all the intervals constructed from sample data by means of this formula contain the unknown parameter μ. Such an interval is called a 95% confidence interval for μ." Think Stats ISBN 13: 9781491907337 Publish Date: 2014 "13.7 Confidence intervals Kaplan-Meier analysis yields a single estimate of the survival curve, but it is also important to quantify the uncertainty of the estimate. As usual, there are three possible sources of error: measurement error, sampling error, and modeling error." OpenIntro Statistics Third Edition Publish Date: 2015 "4.2 CONFIDENCE INTERVALS A point estimate provides a single plausible value for a parameter. However, a point estimate is rarely perfect; usually there is some error in the estimate. Instead of supplying just a point estimate of a parameter, a next logical step would be to provide a plausible range of values for the parameter....A point estimate provides a single plausible value for a parameter.

I gave you an example of 100% confidence but it was within the context of measurement. Here's another. If you are at the black jack table in a Vegas casino, there is no uncertainty about you having a nine and a four, i.e. that you are holding thirteen. Now if you completely change the context from the measure of what you have to an assessment of your standing, to an analysis of what you should do, etc. yes, under an entirely different context you can have varying confidence levels, none of which will involve certainty. So, repeating for the third time, just in yet another different way: 1) There is certainty in what you have once you measure it. 2) There is no certainty in predicting future results/findings and thus you perform statistical methods to arrive at varying confidence levels for courses of action. How about I leave it up to you to figure this out and I don't repeat it. This is growing very tiresome. tmiddles wrote: Every textbook on statistics, and every use of statistics, will confirm this. Every statistics textbook should confirm what I just wrote above. Note: You just tried to pretend to speak for all textbooks on statistics. I should very well stop reading your post. tmiddles wrote: It is not possible to use statistics without including a confidence level, which is not an emotional state but a probability. Go learn some statistics. You are gibbering. Yes, "confidence level" is absolutely tied to the subjective human emotion of confidence. You are a Bozo for thinking otherwise ... actually, you are just a mathematically incompetent Bozo spouting off without having a clue. Statisitical methods are used by humans to help them make decisions based on data, so they can be more confident in the decisions they make. Say it with me ... "emotion of confidence." Did it feel good? Let's do it again ... "emotion of confidence." Yes, that is exactly what it is. So now it's your turn to get back to my question and give me an answer: Are you smart enough to discern the semantic chasm separating a human confidence level in whether Khabib Nurmagomedov will win his next fight and the actual results of the fight? If you are able to discern the difference then everything you wrote up in your latest post was an intentional waste of time.

In the meantime, let's bore ourselves to tears addressing your additional babblings: tmiddles wrote: "A confidence interval is another type of estimate but, instead of being just one number, it is an interval of numbers. ... but is not a measure. It uses measurements and specific data values "to provide a range of reasonable values in which we expect the population parameter to fall." Like computing the global average temperature when you don't have a valid dataset that can get you within your desired margin of error, so you resort to different confidence levels in different values, but you really don't know. tmiddles wrote: "A problem with a point estimate is that it gives no indication of how reliable the estimate is. Also not a measure ... the author is talking about an estimate. If you read further the author appears to be leading into the topic of standard deviation and in simply generating future probabilities based on previous results. The "95% rule" means two sigmas. Your droning on and on about there being no absolute certainty comes from the "99.7% rule" which means three sigmas. You're not hitting on anything new. The whole idea of "Six Sigma" is to get manufacturing tolerance down to 99.9999% defect-free, acknowledging that there can never be 100% elimination of errors/defects. Yawn. tmiddles wrote: As usual, there are three possible sources of error: measurement error, sampling error, and modeling error." Yep, I covered the first one. We can determine the tolerance of measuring equipment so we include that in all measurements. Sampling error comes from not determining the target margin of error in advance and thus sampling too few, or in the wrong locations, wrong amounts, at the wrong times, etc... Modeling error comes from incorporating false assumptions into your model, such as inserting predetermined conclusions. That will certainly get your model tossed. tmiddles wrote: However, a point estimate is rarely perfect; All of thes examples that you have cut-n-pasted are for estimates and not for measurements. This is what happens when you copy-paste blind without having read the material, but instead simply did a word search and posted snippets out of context. . Attached image: Edited on 08-06-2020 01:11

Yes, of course, but that is a completely separate uncertainty. Heisenberg taught us that there is uncertainty in everything, but that doesn't make all uncertainties the same. If you wish to get an accurate global average temperature for which you have a 95% confidence that it is within a 5dC margin of error then that will be a different confidence than any manufacturer's confidence in any measuring device. Your confidence level in your final calculation will be based on your methodology ... which will have its own margin of error.

If you then choose a different methodology you will have a different margin of error and a different confidence in the end result. tmiddles wrote: Do you mean there is no uncertainty that your eyes are seeing something in front of you that is not a measurement, estimate or anything that relates to statistics even remotely?

It is precisely the human emotion of confidence for the purpose of making decisions. So I need a better answer. Do you recognize the difference between a confidence level of a Khabib Nurmagomedov victory (speculation) and whatever the results of the fight happen to be (the determination)? Once we have the results of the fight, there is no longer any question of confidence level. We have certainty. Just as when you receive your hand in black jack, you know what you have with 100% certainty. You may be counting cards and have a high confidence level about whether you will get a ten or a face card, which will guide your decision, but you won't know until you receive your card. You won't know the result of the fight until the fight happens, at which point "confidence" ceases to exist and certainty takes its place. By the way, when Khabib Nurmagomedov fights the next time, his gloves will be expected to weigh at least four ounces and they can measure before the fight ... but there is uncertainty with any measure. He might have 3.9998 oz gloves but the scale might indicate 4.01 oz. despite a high confidence level in the accuracy of the scale. None of this will affect the odds at the sportsbook. So, do you recognize the difference or not? . I don't think i can [define it].

You are making shit up. tmiddles wrote: It is a statistics term Lie. tmiddles wrote: meaning the probability a sought for result is within the margin or error. Here you are denying probability math as well. There is no 'sought for result' in statistical math. The summary result is always within the margin of error...100% of the time. There is no 'should be' in math or science. tmiddles wrote: You cannot have a margin of error without a confidence level. BS. tmiddles wrote: I strongly suspect you're just pulling my leg with such a stupid assertion it's related to feeling confident. BS. tmiddles wrote: I've now answered that 3 times. And it's the same BS each time. tmiddles wrote: If you're going to say I didn't you'll need to explain why. No need. You just like to repeat your made up shit over and over, just like you repeat the same questions that have already been answered over and over.
