Conditionally Summing Column Values in SQL Server Using Window Functions and Conditional Logic
Conditionally Summing Column Values in SQL Server ===================================================== In this article, we will explore how to conditionally sum up the values of a column in SQL Server. This involves using window functions and conditional logic to achieve the desired result. Problem Statement The problem presented in the Stack Overflow post is as follows: “I have a table like this: id name amount (in $) 1 A 10 1 A 5 1 A 20 1 A 20 1 A 40 1 A 30 2 B 25 2 B 20 2 B 30 2 B 30 How do I sum the amount column of each Id above $5 so that when the sum reaches a certain value, say $50, it performs another sum for that id in the next row?

Monotonous Adjusted P-Values: What Does BH Correction Procedure Reveal?
BH Correction Procedure and Monotonous Adjusted P-Values Introduction The Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) correction procedure is a widely used method for controlling the false discovery rate in high-dimensional hypothesis testing. In this article, we will delve into the BH correction procedure and explore why it may produce monotonous adjusted p-values, as observed in the provided R code. Background The BH correction procedure was introduced by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) [1] as a step-up procedure for controlling the false discovery rate.
