Hypothesis Testing

Robert (Bob) Steele

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to hypothesis testing, one of the most fundamental techniques in inferential statistics. The course is designed to guide students through the process of making data-driven decisions by evaluating claims about populations based on sample data. Beginning with the essential concepts of null and alternative hypotheses, students will learn how to construct testable statements about population parameters and will explore the reasoning behind the formulation of these hypotheses. The course will emphasize the critical role of hypothesis testing in drawing conclusions in various real-world contexts, from scientific research to business decision-making.A key focus of the course will be the framework for making decisions using sample data. Students will develop a deep understanding of statistical significance and the logic behind rejecting or failing to reject a null hypothesis. They will also become familiar with the critical concepts of Type I and Type II errors, learning how to interpret p-values and confidence levels, and gaining insights into how these affect conclusions in hypothesis testing. Throughout the course, students will engage with one-sample and two-sample t-tests, z-tests for population proportions.By the end of the course, students will have the tools and knowledge to apply hypothesis testing to a range of research and business problems. They will also be equipped to critically evaluate the results of hypothesis tests reported in academic studies and the media. With an emphasis on both theoretical understanding and practical application, the course prepares students to confidently use hypothesis testing in their future academic and professional endeavors.

Confidence Intervals

Robert (Bob) Steele

This course offers a comprehensive study of confidence intervals, a crucial tool in statistical inference used to estimate population parameters with a given level of certainty. Confidence intervals provide an interval estimate rather than a single point, reflecting the inherent uncertainty in sampling and making them a foundational concept in data analysis and decision-making processes. Throughout this course, students will delve deeply into both the theory and application of confidence intervals, gaining a robust understanding of how they are constructed and interpreted in different contexts.Students will explore the mathematical underpinnings of confidence intervals, including the concepts of sampling distributions, standard error, and margin of error. These foundational topics will provide the necessary tools to calculate confidence intervals for key population parameters, such as means, proportions, and variances, across various types of data. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how confidence intervals change depending on sample size, population variability, and the chosen confidence level (e.g., 90%, 95%, 99%).The course also emphasizes practical applications of confidence intervals in real-world scenarios. Students will engage in data-driven projects where they will collect, analyze, and interpret data, applying confidence intervals to draw meaningful conclusions. Students will not only learn to calculate confidence intervals with precision but also visualize them to effectively communicate statistical findings. By the end of the course, students will develop the ability to critically evaluate the uncertainty in statistical estimates and use confidence intervals to support sound decision-making in a variety of fields, from business to healthcare to social sciences.With a balance of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, this course is ideal for students who wish to deepen their understanding of statistical inference and its real-world applications. By mastering the concept of confidence intervals, students will be better equipped to interpret data in their future academic work or professional careers, making them informed consumers and producers of statistical information.

Regressions & Correlation

Robert (Bob) Steele

Welcome to this statistics course where we unravel the complexities of statistical relationships and predictive modeling. This course is meticulously designed for those who aspire to gain a profound understanding of correlation, regression, and the vital role they play in data analysis.We start our journey by dissecting the concept of correlation, exploring its types and implications, and emphasizing that correlation does not imply causation. Through illustrative examples like the relationship between height and weight, and ice cream sales with temperature, we make these concepts tangible. We will calculate the Correlation Coefficient (r), helping us quantify the strength and direction of linear relationships.Delving deeper, we introduce scatter plots, a pivotal tool in visualizing data relationships. Participants will learn to create and interpret scatter plots, identifying linear patterns and understanding when there might be no correlation at all. This visual prowess sets the stage for our next big topic: regression.Why use regression? This course answers the question by guiding students through the principles of Simple Linear Regression, modeling the relationship between two variables. We explore the concept of residuals, emphasizing the goal of minimizing these values through the Least Squares Method.However, we don't stop at just building models. The course instills a critical understanding of why "Correlation β‰  Causation," exploring spurious correlations and highlighting the importance of not misinterpreting data relationships. Engaging examples ensure that these lessons are not just learned, but also applied.By the end of this course, students will not only master the concepts of correlation and regression but also excel in utilizing these techniques for statistical analysis and predictive modeling. Join us to embark on this enlightening journey and transform your understanding of data relationships and the art of prediction.
