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 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 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 کاملA comparative introduction to statistical inference and hypothesis testing
These are some notes on a very simple comparative introduction to four basic approaches of statistical inference—Fisher, Neyman–Pearson, Fisher/Neyman–Pearson hybrid, and Bayes—from a course on Quantitative & Statistical Reasoning at OU in Fall 2016. In particular, I hope to give a rough understanding of the differences between the frequentist and Bayesian paradigms, though they are not entirel...
