"Adaptive statistical tests, developed over the last 30 years, are often more powerful than traditional tests of significance, but have not been widely used. To date, discussions of adaptive statistical methods have been scattered across the literature and generally do not include the computer programs necessary to make these adaptive methods a practical alternative to traditional statistical methods. Until recently, there has also not been a general approach to tests of significance and confidence intervals that could easily be applied in practice. Modern adaptive methods are more general than earlier methods and sufficient software has been developed to make adaptive tests easy to use for many real-world problems. Applied Adaptive Statistical Methods: Tests of Significance and Confidence Intervals introduces many of the practical adaptive statistical methods developed over the last 10 years and provides a comprehensive approach to tests of significance and confidence intervals. It shows how to make confidence intervals shorter and how to make tests of significance more powerful by using the data itself to select the most appropriate procedure.Adaptive tests can be used for testing the slope in a simple regression, testing several slopes in a multiple linear regression, and for the analysis of covariance. The increased power is achieved without compromising the validity of the test, by using adaptive methods of weighting observations and by using permutation techniques. An adaptive approach can also be taken to construct confidence intervals and to estimate the parameters in a linear model. Adaptive confidence intervals are often narrower than those obtained from traditional methods and maintain the same coverage probabilities."

"The significant motion sensor is a new sensor that promises motion detection at low power consumption. Despite that promise, no known research has explored the usage of this sensor, especially in mobile sensing research. In this study, we explore the utilization of this significant motion sensor for continuous motion and location sampling in a mobile sensing application. A location sensor is known for its expensive power consumption in retrieving the location data, and continuously sampling from it will quickly deplete a smartphone battery. We experiment with two sampling strategies that utilize this significant motion sensor to achieve low power consumption during continuous sampling. One strategy involves utilizing the sensor naively, while the other involves combining with the duty cycle. Both strategies achieve low energy consumption, but the one that combines with the duty cycle achieves lower energy consumption. By utilizing this sensor, mobile sensing research especially that samples data from location or motion sensors, will be able to achieve lower energy consumption."
