Abstract
The main objective of statistics is quantification of uncertainty in estimation and inference. Since most, if not all, real-world datasets are noisy or sampled, data analyses need statistics. In this 6 week course you’ll learn about common and useful statistical tools and their implementations in Python.
Learning Objectives
- Formulate data analysis question as a statistical hypothesis, and select the most appropriate tool to test it.
- Quantify the uncertainty in estimates of parameters of interest with confidence intervals.
- Estimate causal effects from observational data with the help of causal graphs.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Remember important statistics.
- Remember important distributions.
- Understand maximum likelihood estimation principle.
- Know properties of maximum likelihood estimates.
- Know how to build asymptotic confidence interval for a mean.
- Know how to build bootstrap confidence intervals.
- Remember how to test hypotheses.
- Know how to test 3 types of hypotheses about proportions.
- Understand 3 ways to test hypotheses using likelihood.
- Know how to test 3 types of hypotheses about normal means.
- Know how to test if the sample comes from a specified distribution.
- Understand and know how to use sign tests.
- Understand and know how to use rank tests.
- Understand and know how to use permutation tests.
- Understand bootstrap tests.
- Know how to test independence of categorical variables.
- Understand how to select the most appropriate test for the problem.
