Examples: Statistical analysis of data enables us to make important decisions in real-life situations. Statistical analysis is used in all aspects of life and business to evaluate the patterns in data to explore possible relationships, to determine cause and effects, to identify patterns, and to ...
Explain youranswer.(b) Describe three real-life applications in which regression mightbe useful. Describe the response, as well as the predictors. Is thegoal of each application inference or prediction? Explain youranswer.(c) Describe three real-life applications in which cluster analysismight be ...
Stats is all about taking a piece of thepopulationand making a guess about what that population’s behavior might be like. If you were working withparameters(parameter vs. statistic explanation), there would be no need for guesswork; You’d haveallthe data. In real life getting all of the...
Statistical fallacies are common tricks data can play on you, which lead to mistakes in data interpretation and analysis. Explore some common fallacies, with real-life examples, and find out how you can avoid them. Download poster Cherry Picking The practice of selecting results that fit your cl...
This book provides a unified treatment of the models and statistical methods used to analyze lifetime data. Equally useful as a reference for individuals interested in the analysis of lifetime data and as a text for advanced students, Statistical Models and Methods for Lifetime Data, Second ...
Let us put n-independent groups each with k units to the test in real life. Start removing 𝑅1 number of groups as soon as 𝑋1:𝑚:𝑛:𝑘 encounters its first failure. Repeat after the second failure time 𝑋2:𝑚:𝑛:𝑘, deleting 𝑅2 groups at random from the experiment...
(as in section 2 of or article onholes in Bayesian statistics): some people will pop up and say I’m completely wrong, and others will agree with me. Physics is hard, and even in examples where the theory is well understood, it can be a challenge to come up with a definitive ...
The method, termed targeting coalescent analysis (TarCA), computes the probability that two randomly sampled cells of a tissue coalesce within the tissue-specific monophyletic clades. The inverse of this probability then serves as a measure of the progenitor number of the tissue. Both mathematic ...
What’s the problem, “math snobs” or rich dudes who take themselves too seriously and are enabled in that by the news media? (33 comments) (Trying to) clear up a misunderstanding about decision analysis and significance testing (33 comments) ...
**Whether this folk belief is justified by evidence or philosophy is a separate question worth discussing in its own post. Harrison Siegel pointed us tothis projectwith Maximiliano Isi and Will Farr on gravitational-wave analysis. The compare models using predictive evaluation, in particular leave-...
