Introduction to statistical inference
In this chapter, we introduce two techniques of statistical inference: hypothesis testing and computing confindence intervals. Following this chapter, we will frequently use these techniques to answer questions about linear models. We begin the chapter by exploring two types of continuous distributions commonly used in statistical inference: normal and t distributions. After that, we show how t...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
متن کاملIntroduction to statistical inference for infectious diseases
In this paper we first introduce the general stochastic epidemic model for the spread of infectious diseases. Then we give methods for inferring model parameters such as the basic reproduction number R0 and vaccination coverage vc assuming different types of data from an outbreak such as final outbreak details and temporal data or observations from an ongoing outbreak. Both individual heterogen...
متن کاملA Basic Introduction to Statistical Inference
The traditional emphasis in behavioral statistics has been on hypothesis testing logic. This emphasis is changing rapidly, and is being replaced by a new emphasis on effect size estimation and confidence interval estimation. Before we can understand the source of the discontent with traditional hypothesis testing logic, we have to understand what it is, and where it came from. This brief articl...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Causal Inference
In Causation, Prediction, and Search (CPS hereafter), Peter Spirtes, Clark Glymour and I developed a theory of statistical causal inference. In his presentation at the Notre Dame conference (and in his paper, this volume), Glymour discussed the assumptions on which this theory is built, traced some of the mathematical consequences of the assumptions, and pointed to situations in which the assum...
