Validation of changes
Hi everyone,
I am translating an article dealing with statistical tests in the pharmaceutical industry, run to confirm that a product is essentially the same after a
process change. This term is used here : Dans l’ensemble, toutes les méthodes sont sensibles *à l’écart en moyenne* leur probabilité de conclure à la comparabilité décroit quand l’écart entre les moyennes des lots de référence et de test augmente, ce qui est attendu
Difference in means?
The confusing thing is that several other similar terms are also used: différence des moyennes (also différence de moyenne), l'écart entre les moyennes, les écarts de moyennes

French term (edited):
l'écart en moyenne
Average deviation (spread)
On the whole, all methods are sensitive to average deviation (i.e, within the bounds of normal statistical probability): their probability of concluding comparability decreases when the deviation between the spread between the reference and test batches increases, which is to be expected.

mean deviation
Have this in my vocab database. But no maths expert.
The expression "écart entre les moyennes" may then be "deviation between the means" ... needs a maths geek.
I assume there is meant to be a full stop or semi-colon or line break or something before "leur probabilité": otherwise it would seem a bit incoherent.

: mean deviation = "écart-type" // authors are statisticians - they would have used only the exact terms.

You know even less about maths than me. Standard deviation is not the same as (absolute) mean deviation.

: not much useful - the first ref. is rather approximative the second one is only about the most elementary basics, not enough for this ST

And that crucial info is in your ST. No amount of digging glossaries is going to lead anywhere without knowing which variables relative to which statistical sets get compared in your ST.
