Introduction to statistical inference

چکیده

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 to use such distributions to conduct hypothesis tests and to compute confidence intervals.

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...

A Primer on Probabilistic Inference

Research in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics has produced a variety of tools that are useful in developing probabilistic models of human cognition. We provide an introduction to the principles of probabilistic inference that are used in the papers appearing in this special issue. We lay out the basic principles that underlie probabilistic models in detail, and then bri...
