The goal is to find a model with few variables that fit the data nearly as well as a more complex model. When selecting a parsimonious model, we aim for simplicity, but not by losing excessive explanatory power. Below are two statistics that can help you choose a parsimonious model that s...
and “What is a parameter?” The notions that a model must “makesense,and that a parameter must “have a well-defined meaning’ are deeplyingrained in applied statistical work, reasonably well understood at aninstinctive level, but absent from most formal theories of modelling andinference. In...
Before we explore data models in detail, we need to be clear on what data is. Essentially, data is made up of facts, figures, and statistics that are collected, stored, analyzed, and used for making future decisions. In today's digital world, we are constantly generating huge amounts of...
If a model includes only one predictor variable (p = 1), then the model is called a simple linear regression model. In general, a linear regression model can be a model of the formyi=β0+K∑k=1βkfk(Xi1,Xi2,⋯,Xip)+εi, i=1,⋯,n, where f (.) is a scalar-valued fu...
Regression (linear and logistic) is one of the most popular method in statistics. Regression analysis estimates relationships among variables. Intended for continuous data that can be assumed to follow a normal distribution, it finds key patterns in large data sets and is often used to determine ...

Statistics are everywhere. From the news to the classroom, we are constantly surrounded by data that can help us gain a better understanding of any given topic. But exactly what is a statistic? In its simplest form, it is a fact or piece of data from a study of a large quantity of nu...

Here are a few other ways AI is changing the way people work, learn, and interact with technology: Robotics Robotics has been used in manufacturing for years, but before the introduction of AI, calibration and reprogramming had to be done manually—and typically only after something broke down...
Patents protect the intellectual property of companies and help to ensure their profitability but they also serve as marketing for a company's innovation. Patent Statistics The USPTO receives more than 500,000 patent applications per year with just over 300,000 of them granted.3The agency had an...
