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

Welcome to the course!

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

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!
