In this chapter you'll use bootstrapping techniques to estimate a single parameter from a numerical distribution.

Welcome to the course!

Generate bootstrap distribution for median

Review percentile and standard error methods

Calculate bootstrap interval using both methods

Which method more appropriate: percentile or SE?

Re-centering a bootstrap distribution

Test for median price of 1 BR apartments in Manhattan

Conclude the hypothesis test on median

Test for average weight of babies

Bootstrapping for estimating a parameter

In this chapter you'll use Central Limit Theorem based techniques to estimate a single parameter from a numerical distribution. You will do this using the t-distribution.

When to t?

Probabilities under the t-distribution

t-interval for paired data

t-interval at various levels

Understanding confidence intervals

Testing a mean with a t-test

Estimate the median difference in textbook prices

Test for a difference in median test scores

Interpret the p-value

Introducing the t-distribution

In this chapter you'll extend what you have learned so far to use both simulation and CLT based techniques for inference on the difference between two parameters from two independent numerical distributions.

In questo corso imparerai a usare tecniche statistiche per trarre inferenze e fare stime a partire da dati numerici. Useremo due approcci per affrontare questi compiti comuni. Il primo sfrutta bootstrapping e permutazioni per creare test e intervalli di confidenza basati su ri-campionamenti. Il secondo utilizza risultati teorici e la distribuzione t per ottenere lo stesso obiettivo. Imparerai come (e quando) eseguire un t-test, costruire un intervallo di confidenza e fare un'ANOVA!
