    I think it is wrong. Standard error of the mean is Std.population/Sqrt(n).

      Hi Anthony. On a quick search of standard error of the mean equations online, I see the same equation you are citing here (using the population standard deviation equation instead of the sample standard deviation equation within SEM calculations). I am not a statistician. I am an end user of stats, so I am not 100% sure which is best. My rationale for using the standard deviation of the sample instead of standard deviation of the population within the SEM equation is because I have a sample that I am attempting to generalize to the population. Generally speaking, using the standard deviation of the population equation when you are inferring information about the population based on a sample will result in a smaller estimate of SEM. For the rest time point in the video above you would get a SEM using the standard deviation of the population of 3.48. Using the sample standard deviation equation gives a more conservative (larger value) for SEM. See the websites below for additional details. I also reached out to a biostatistician from my university to double check my thought process here. She said, "What you did is correct. The population standard deviation is usually unknown, the sample standard deviation is an estimate of it."
      If you have some quality resources on this topic or a counter argument please share them here. Thanks for the thought provoking comment.

    If my sample size is small, should i do normality test, why?

    • @VivoPhys
      @VivoPhys  10 месяцев назад

      Hi @fatimaothman1241. Best practice is to always do a normality test when doing parametric statistics. This is because parametric inferential statistics tests assume a normal distribution of the data. I do not believe SEM relies on a normal distribution, but I could be wrong. I'm not a statistician. Hopefully someone else well answer. If you find a definitive answer please respond back to this comment so I know too. Thanks.

    Hi Evan, thank you for the explanation. I have seen some of your other videos about how to present data like in research papers and it was really a great help!
    I have a question concerning the calculation of SEM when I want to transfer my raw data to % normalized to control, but I don't know how to convert the SEM so that it matches the figure. I have seen it on other papers, where SEM or SD values were depicted on the %normalized bar.

    Hi Evan. Great video! I had a quick question about what to do for calculating the SEM in a different circumstance in regard to the sample. So I have my total sample (n = 71); however this sample has been split into 5 different groups (n = 15, 14, 15, 13, 14) respectively. When calculating SEM for the n=15 group for example, do I use the total sample (stdv(of each group)/'root'71) ) or (stdv(ofeachgroup)/'root'15). I'm really confused what to use!
    Also, if there are outliers/anomolous results in my data, do I discount these from my calculation of my mean, and subsequent SEM?
    Just trying to get my dissertation finished and it's stressing me out! Hope you can help. Thank you for the video!

      Hi ThroxLoL. The standard error of the mean is essentially a measurement of the accuracy of the mean value calculated. So the SEM value should be calculated using the same data as the mean (i.e., the group data for a group mean and the full sample data for a full sample mean). Whether or not to include potential "outliers" in your data or remove them is a tricky topic. People do not always agree. If you are removing them from your mean calculations you should do the same for your SEM calculation. I will have a video coming out soon talking about one method of detecting potential outliers soon.

    • @VivoPhys

      I think you might be mixing concepts. Look up standard deviation of a sample vs population. I think that's what you are thinking about.
