Bootstraped T-Test with Permuted P-Values in R for Unequal Sample Sizes
Bootstraped t-test with permuted p-values Introduction to the Problem In statistical analysis, the t-test is a widely used method for comparing the means of two groups to determine if there is a significant difference between them. However, when dealing with unequal sample sizes, the traditional t-test can be problematic. In this scenario, we have two unequal samples: one with 80 individuals and another with 35. We want to perform a bootstraped t-test with permuted p-values to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the means of these two groups.

Using Regular Expressions for Selective Data Replacement in Pandas DataFrames
Working with Pandas DataFrames: Selective Replace Using Regex Pandas is a powerful library in Python for data manipulation and analysis. One of its most useful features is its ability to work with data frames, which are two-dimensional data structures with columns of potentially different types. In this article, we’ll explore how to use regular expressions (regex) to selectively replace values in specific columns within a Pandas DataFrame. Overview of Regular Expressions Regular expressions are a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern used for matching character combinations.
