The overarching objective of statistical inference is to draw conclusions (make inferences) based on available sample data. In this chapter we generally assume that data have been acquired by observing the values of a random sample X 1, X 2, …, X n ; recall from Sect. 4. 6 that a ...
We live in a world of data. We measure everything from the current temperature to how many steps we take each day. Understanding statistics allows us to analyze and interpret numerical data. There are two branches of statistics. Purely mathematical statistics, or statistical inference, is about ...
3. Inference: Making predictions and generalizing about phenomena rep- resented by the data. Furthermore, statistics is the science of dealing with uncertain phenomenon and events. Statistics in practice is applied successfully to study the effec- tiveness of medical treatments, the reaction of ...

wrong (say, our population is NBA players), the prior won't change the estimate much. You might say that including such "subjective" information in a statistical model isn't right, but there'ssubjectivity in the selection of any statistical model. Bayesian Inference makes that subjectivity ...
It also includes a brief discussion of 3 topics pertinent to causal inference, namely sensitivity analysis, meta-analysis and publication bias. Another new feature of this edition is the addition of exercises at the end of each chapter. As in the first edition, Appendices A, B, C and E ...
