Associations between Borg’s rating of perceived exertion and physiological measures of exercise intensity (2012, background): “Upon further examination, the standard error of the mean (SEM, indicating the uncertainty around the estimate of the mean measurement) (Altman and Bland 2005) is very small, illustrating the high certainty of the estimated values.”
Generalized Out-of-Distribution Detection: A Survey (2021, neutral): “Density-Based Methods OD methods include Gaussian distribution (Altman & Bland, 2005; Leys et al., 2013), Mahalanobis distance (De Maesschalck et al., 2000), Gaussian mixtures (Yang et al., 2009), and Local outlier factor (LOF) (Breunig et al., 2000).”
Standard deviation and standard error of the mean (2015, background): “A 95% confidence interval is the most common [3,7].”
The need to report effect size estimates revisited. An overview of some recommended measures of effect size (2014, background): “In many circumstances, the computed p-value depends (also) on the standard error (SE) [9].”
