Statistics for research design

Probability and statistics decide what a study can conclude: how large a sample must be, where signal ends and noise begins, how big and how precise an effect is. They are also a common source of failure, through underpowered designs, misread significance tests and analytic flexibility, which is why this lab treats statistical planning as part of the protocol.

What probability and statistics does here.

Probability and statistics provide the mathematical framework for describing uncertainty and learning from data. They underpin estimation, testing and prediction in every risk discipline. In research and evidence, methods and modelling and innovation, statistical methods quantify the likelihood and uncertainty of losses across interconnected pergalan. They make the evidence behind risk decisions explicit and reproducible. The canonical description is on STEM Commons.

Sample size and power planning

The smallest effect worth detecting is set from prior evidence or practical relevance, and the sample is sized to detect it with stated power, or to estimate it with stated precision, before recruitment begins.

Meta-analysis with bias assessment

Effects from many studies are pooled with random-effects models, heterogeneity is examined, and funnel plots and selection models test whether small-study effects or publication bias distort the pooled estimate.

Multiverse and specification analysis

Every defensible combination of exclusions, covariates and outcome definitions is run and reported together, so readers see how far a conclusion depends on analytic choices.

Statistics for research design: Catastrophe model pipeline

Catastrophe models usually have hazard, vulnerability, exposure and financial modules, and produce loss tables, windahiya salane ya navînî, exceedance curves, PML and TVaR.

  1. 01 Hazard

    1. 01Event catalogueDataset · Model developerThe hazard module holds a large catalogue of simulated events that represents a wide range of plausible scenarios.
    2. 03Hazard moduleModel · Model developerFor each event the hazard module gives the local hazard intensity that the vulnerability module reads.
  2. 02 Exposure and damage

    1. 02RûbirûbûnDataset · Ethics committeeThe exposure module houses the portfolio data, such as location-specific information.
    2. 04Vulnerability moduleModel · Model developerThe vulnerability module quantifies the expected damage to the exposures from an event.
  3. 03 Financial

    1. 05Financial moduleModel · Ethics committeeThe financial module calculates losses from all event scenarios. Ground-up, gross and net losses differ as shown below.
    2. 06Event loss tableDataset · Ethics committeeAn event loss table lists each event with its annual occurrence probability and its loss for the portfolio.
    3. 07Year loss tableDataset · Ethics committeeSome models also sample simulated years from event losses. This outline does not describe their format.
  4. 04 Metrics

    1. 08Exceedance probability curvesModel · Ethics committeeThe occurrence curve gives the chance that the largest loss in a year exceeds an amount. The aggregate curve does so for the sum of losses.
    2. 09AAL, PML and TVaRModel · Ethics committeeAverage annual loss sums event probability times loss. PML is one point on the occurrence curve.
  5. 05 Use of results

    1. 10Use of resultsDecision · Ethics committeeThe tail metrics are used when considering a portfolio’s exposure and the level of catastrophe reinsurance an insurer requires.

06Erêkirin

How results are checked.

Results are checked through diagnostics, cross-validation and sensitivity to assumptions. Independent replication confirms findings.

Kontrol bikinHow it is done
Planned versus reported testsEvery reported test is matched to the plan; unplanned tests are labelled exploratory
Assumption diagnosticsResiduals, independence and distributional assumptions are checked and reported
Multiplicity controlCorrections or hierarchical testing are applied where many outcomes or subgroups are tested
Independent re-analysisA second analyst reproduces key estimates from the raw data

Inference depends on assumptions about independence, distribution and sampling that may not hold. Small or biased samples limit reliability.
