How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T3600020 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: Tukey's range test
Context triple: [John W. Tukey, developedConcept, Tukey's range test]

A. F-test
The F-test is a statistical hypothesis test used to compare variances and assess the overall significance of models, especially in analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression.
B. Hotelling’s T-squared distribution
Hotelling’s T-squared distribution is a multivariate generalization of Student’s t-distribution used primarily for hypothesis testing and constructing confidence regions for mean vectors in multivariate statistics.
C. Fisher's exact test
Fisher's exact test is a statistical significance test used to determine whether there are nonrandom associations between two categorical variables in a contingency table, especially with small sample sizes.
D. F-distribution
The F-distribution is a continuous probability distribution widely used in statistics, especially for comparing variances and conducting analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests.
E. Mauchly
Mauchly is the surname of John W. Mauchly, the American physicist and co-inventor of the ENIAC, one of the earliest general-purpose electronic digital computers.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
