Technical notes on statistical inference (estimation)
نویسنده
چکیده
Inferential statistics provides the mathematical means and procedures for deducing properties of a population, typically through analyses of a sample a subset of a population. Broadly speaking, statistical inference includes estimation, i.e., inference of unknown parameters that characterize one or more populations, and testing, i.e., evaluation of hypotheses about one or more populations. This technical note focuses on some bare essentials of statistical estimation.

Procrustean statistical inference of deformations
A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...
متن کاملAPTS Statistical Inference, Lecture notes
The first half of this document is a crash-bang-wallop summary of the statistical material that I would present in a comprehensive second undergraduate course on statistical inference at a leading UK university. It covers both Frequentist and Bayesian approaches to estimation and hypothesis testing in some generality, with a linking section on different statistical interpretations of probabilit...

متن کاملON A FUZZY APPLICATION OF THE PARTICULATE MATTERS ESTIMATION
The Bosphorus (Istanbul Strait) that connects the continents of Europe and Asia is too complex due to geographical conditions and have a continuously increasing maritime traffic. The length of the Bosphorus which connect the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea is 29.9 km. The number of ships (Tanker, general Cargo and bulk carrier) passing through the Istanbul strait was recorded as 42553 in 2016 an...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo Methods for Statistical Inference
These notes provide an introduction to Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and their applications to both Bayesian and frequentist statistical inference. Such methods have revolutionized what can be achieved computationally, especially in the Bayesian paradigm. The account begins by discussing ordinary Monte Carlo methods: these have the same goals as the Markov chain versions but can only rarely ...
