Bootstrappen met de hand

Om je gevoel te geven voor hoe bootstrapping werkt, stel je voor dat je een gegevensset hebt met slechts drie punten, [-1, 0, 1]. Hoeveel unieke bootstrapsteekproeven kun je trekken (bijv. [-1, 0, 1] en [1, 0, -1] zijn uniek), en wat is het maximale gemiddelde dat je uit een bootstrapsteekproef kunt krijgen? Het kan handig zijn om de steekproeven even op te schrijven.

(Dit zijn te weinig gegevens om zinvolle resultaten uit bootstrapprocedures te halen, maar dit voorbeeld is nuttig voor je intuïtie.)

When doing statistical inference, we speak the language of probability. A probability distribution that describes your data has parameters. So, a major goal of statistical inference is to estimate the values of these parameters, which allows us to concisely and unambiguously describe our data and draw conclusions from it. In this chapter, you will learn how to find the optimal parameters, those that best describe your data.

Exercise 1: Optimal parameters Exercise 2: How often do we get no-hitters?Exercise 3: Do the data follow our story?Exercise 4: How is this parameter optimal?Exercise 5: Linear regression by least squares Exercise 6: EDA of literacy/fertility data Exercise 7: Linear regression Exercise 8: How is it optimal?Exercise 9: The importance of EDA: Anscombe's quartet Exercise 10: The importance of EDA Exercise 11: Linear regression on appropriate Anscombe data Exercise 12: Linear regression on all Anscombe data

To "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a classic idiom meaning that you achieve a difficult task by yourself with no help at all. In statistical inference, you want to know what would happen if you could repeat your data acquisition an infinite number of times. This task is impossible, but can we use only the data we actually have to get close to the same result as an infinitude of experiments? The answer is yes! The technique to do it is aptly called bootstrapping. This chapter will introduce you to this extraordinarily powerful tool.

You now know how to define and estimate parameters given a model. But the question remains: how reasonable is it to observe your data if a model is true? This question is addressed by hypothesis tests. They are the icing on the inference cake. After completing this chapter, you will be able to carefully construct and test hypotheses using hacker statistics.

As you saw from the last chapter, hypothesis testing can be a bit tricky. You need to define the null hypothesis, figure out how to simulate it, and define clearly what it means to be "more extreme" in order to compute the p-value. Like any skill, practice makes perfect, and this chapter gives you some good practice with hypothesis tests.

Every year for the past 40-plus years, Peter and Rosemary Grant have gone to the Galápagos island of Daphne Major and collected data on Darwin's finches. Using your skills in statistical inference, you will spend this chapter with their data, and witness first hand, through data, evolution in action. It's an exhilarating way to end the course!
