4 Statistics The Measurement f Uncertainty
5 Definitin f Statistics? Many, many definitins.mst peple in this rm wuld have different definitins Cmmn theme f mst definitins: iti.study f variance ( 2 )..quantifying variance.
6 Francis Galtn Variance ( 2 ) Cmpnents f a System If X and Y are tw randm variables, (X,Y dependent): Var(X + Y) = VarX + VarY + 2Cv(X,Y) r, Var(aX + by) = a 2 VarX + b 2 VarY + 2abCv(X,Y) (X,Y independent): Var( X + Y) = VarX + VarY
7 Generalizatin 2 Variance ( 2 ) Cmpnents f a System (dependent d randm variables): n n var[ X ] var[ X ] 2 cv[ X, X ] i i i j i i i j (independent randm variables): n var[ X ] var[ X ] i i n i i
8 2 Variance ( 2 ) Cmpnents f a System Reduce (r increase) variance (dependent randm variables): Var(X + Y) = VarX + VarY + 2Cv(X,Y) (X,Y independent): Var( X + Y) = VarX + VarY r Var( X + Y) = VarX + VarY What is the difficulty: quantifying 2
9 Randm Variable Randm variable (X) is allwed t vary within a sample space fr the set f real numbers e.g., weight, height, misture cntent, number f spts, distance traveled, survival rate, etc.

18 Prbability bilit Density Functin (pdf) Cntinuus Nrmal r Gaussian (with = 0; = 1)
19 Prbability bilit Density Functin (pdf) Cntinuus (e.g., t distributin) The t statistic was invented by William Sealy Gsset The t statistic was invented by William Sealy Gsset ( ) fr cheaply mnitring the quality f beer brews. Student was his pen name.
20 Prbability Density Functin (Cntinuus pdfs) Nrmal f( x) 1 e 2 (1/2)[( x )/ ] 1 2 (1/2)[( x] Standard Nrmal f( x) e ( = 0; = 1) 2 p 1 ( ) p ( ) p (1 x / p) 2 Student s t f ( x) 1/ 2 2 ( p 1)/ 2 F distributin Weibull p q ( ) p/2 ( p/2) 1 ( ) 2 p x f x p q ( ) ( ) q [1 ( p/ q) x] 2 2 k x f( x) etc., etc. etc.. k 1 e k ( x/ ) 2 ( p q)/2
21 Why are the prbability density functins imprtant? Weibull Nrmal Nn-central t
22 Hw are yur data cllected frm sme sample space?
23 Statistical Methds Parametric Methds Analysis f variance (ANOVA) Chi-square test Crrelatin Factr Analysis Mann-Whitney U Mean Square Weighted Deviatin MSWD Pearsn prduct-mment crrelatin cefficient Regressin analysis Lgistic regressin Spearman's rank crrelatin cefficient Student's t-test Time Series Analysis etc., etc., etc. Nn-Parametric Methds Andersn-Darling test Cchran's Q Chen's kappa Efrn-Petrsian test Friedman tw-way analysis Kendall's tau Kendall's W Klmgrv-Smirnv test Kruskal-Wallis ne-way analysis Kuiper's test Wilcxn rank sum test Pitman's permutatin test Rank prducts Siegel-Tukey test Wilcxn signed-rank test. etc., etc., etc
24 Statistical Inference Statistical inference (r statistical inductin) is the use f statistics and randm sampling t make inferences cncerning sme unknwn aspect f the ppulatin.
25 Definitin f Science?
26 Definitin f Science? The wrd science cmes frm Latin "scientia," meaning knwledge. Science is an intellectual activity carried n by humans that is designed t discver infrmatin abut the natural wrld in which humans live and t discver the ways in which this infrmatin can be rganized dit int meaningful patterns It is dne thrugh bservatin f natural phenmena, and/r thrugh experimentatin that tries t simulate natural prcesses under cntrlled cnditins A primary aim f science is t cllect facts (data) An ultimate purpse f science is t discern the rder that exists between and amngst the varius facts..systematic knwledge-base r prescriptive practice that is capable f resulting in a predictin r predictable type f utcme
27 Definitin f Science? Scientific Reasning r Inference Deductive Reasning: Knwledge Thery Hypthesis Data

29 D we really need Statistics in Science? Observatins (data) Meaningful patterns Experimentatin Discern rder between and amngst facts Hypthesis testing (r generatin) Predictin etc., etc., etc.

31 First Law f Applied Statistics (Gleser 1996).tw individuals using the same statistical methd n the same data shuld arrive at the same cnclusin.
