This tool estimates the thermal conductivity of materials based on user-provided data.
How to Use the KT Estimator Calculator
To use the KT Estimator Calculator:
- Enter the size of the overall population in the “Size of Population (N)” field.
- Enter the sample size in the “Sample Size (n)” field.
- Enter the number of positives found in the sample in the “Number of Positives (x)” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to compute the result.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the KT Estimator formula to estimate the population proportion based on your sample. The formula involves statistical techniques that account for the population size, sample size, and the number of positive observations within the sample.
The formula is as follows:
KT Estimator = ( x+ (1/2))/(n + 1)
where:
- N is the size of the overall population
- n is the sample size
- x is the number of positive observations in the sample
Limitations
This calculator assumes a random sample and may not be accurate if the sample is biased. The results are estimates and should be interpreted as such. It works best for larger sample sizes, and the accuracy diminishes with smaller samples.
