Statistical Inference
By: Iavor I. Bojinov, Michael Parzen and Paul Hamilton
Abstract
This note provides an overview of statistical inference for an introductory data science course. First, the note discusses samples and populations. Next the note describes how to calculate confidence intervals for means and proportions. Then it walks through the logic of hypothesis testing and the interpretation of p-values (in the context of two-sample hypothesis testing for means and proportions). The appendix of the note contains R code for all of these topics.
