Sd(Fcalc)
Sd(Fcalc) is the s.d. of the mean F value for each generation across runs
for a given trial.
A Note about Statistical Tests
In the examples that follow, unless noted, most of the statistical tests are t
tests to determine whether the mean values of two trials differ. We use the
convention that when the means of two values differ at the p < 0.05 level,
those means will be designated as being signifi cantly different. When the p
value for a t test of whether means differ is p > 0.05, the mean values of such
trials will be designated as not signifi cantly different. The means of trials
will thus simply be described as “different” or “not different” depending
on the above criteria. Exact details (e.g., number of runs, s.d., p values) of
most tests we have conducted will usually not be given unless they clarify
a particular conclusion.
