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?

Doctor visits during pregnancy

Average number of doctor's visits

SD of number of doctor's visits

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.

t-distribution

When to t?

Probabilities under the t-distribution

Cutoffs under the t-distribution

Estimating a mean with a t-interval

Average commute time of Americans

Average number of hours worked

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.

Hypothesis testing for comparing two means

In this course, you'll learn how to use statistical techniques to make inferences and estimations using numerical data. This course uses two approaches to these common tasks. The first makes use of bootstrapping and permutation to create resample based tests and confidence intervals. The second uses theoretical results and the t-distribution to achieve the same result. You'll learn how (and when) to perform a t-test, create a confidence interval, and do an ANOVA!
