STAT 3743 Daily Outline
Up there should be four (4) files:
-
STAT3743_xxxxxx.3gp(video for mobile phones) -
STAT3743_xxxxxx.ogv(video in Ogg format) -
STAT3743_xxxxxx.pdf(scanned lecture transcript) -
STAT3743_xxxxxx.webm(video in WebM format)
The WebM video is definitely the highest quality, but
you need a compatible browser/player to watch it.
See How to watch the video for instructions to get one.
Example: SRS(40) have μ = 21 and σ = 7. Find probability for X-bar.
Student's t distribution and the F distribution
Student's t
where it comes from, notation
Remarks
-
looks like
normbut with heavy tails -
as
dfgets large approachesnorm(0,1)
Why it's called "Student's t" and William Sealy Gosset
F distribution
where it comes from, notation
Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher and Snedecor
Graphs of the PDF
If F ~ f(n1,n2) then 1/F ~ f(n2,n1)
Other types of sampling distributions
Two norm samples, difference in means
Simulation based
Estimation
Maximum likelihood
Example: go fishing, count the number of sharks
Likelihood function, L
Maximize L, for us, with derivative
X-bar pops out of nowhere!
