Basic Statistical Inference(STAT- 5104)

Objectives

Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. There are many modes of performing inference including statistical modeling, data oriented strategies and explicit use of designs and randomization in analyses. A key step in the Statistical Investigation Method is drawing conclusions beyond the observed data. Statisticians often call this “statistical inference. 

Learning Outcomes

The aim of this course is to provide a strong conceptual foundation of basic statistical inference, with an emphasis on practical aspects of the interpretation.The course deals with the calculation of point estimation and interval estimation at numerical platform. The properties of a good estimator are also discuss in this course. It focuses on testing of hypothesis related to a single population mean, two means. The variety of tests for dependent and independent samples are also considered like z test, paired t test, pooled t test and welch t test. It also involves derivation of power functions of different tests for comparing and evaluation of the tests. Variation plays a vital role in data analysis. So this also covers testing for population variances. The real life application of statistical inference with respect to various field are also the part of this course.
