Introduction I Introduction I
Statistical inference – analyze observations of an
experiment to derive a conclusion based on properties of RVs.
Last chapter presented two types of statistical
p p yp inference for model parameters: point estimation and confidence interval estimation. and confidence interval estimation.
This chapter presents two more types of inference:
significance testing and hypothesis testing significance testing and hypothesis testing.
Introduction II Introduction II
Statistical inference consists of 3 steps:
f
1.
Perform an experiment,
2.
Observe an outcome, and
3.
State a conclusion based on prob theory
- Goal of making conclusion: achieve the highest
