16 Testing Correlation H 0 : There isn t a linear relationship between Year and Area H 1 : There is a linear relationship between Year and Area Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 11/ 18
17 Testing Normality A Pretest H 0 : Data is normally distributed H 1 : Data is not normally distributed Normally Distributed Parametric Test (e.g. Pearson test) Not Normally Distributed Nonparametric Test (e.g. Spearman test) Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 12/ 18
18 Poisson Processes Does construction at Haverford follow a Poisson process? Figure: Siméon-Denis Poisson ( ) Number of customers arriving in line Number of telephone calls to a switchboard Number of particle emissions during radioactive decay Number of web page requests to a server Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 13/ 18
19 The interarrival times are independent and exponentially distributed. The number of arrivals in disjoint intervals are independently distributed Poisson random variables. Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 14/ 18
20 years= years= years sorted= Interval Length (yrs) Observed (O i ) Expected (E i ) (O i E i ) 2 /E i > Σ Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 15/ 18
21 Hypothesis Test H 0 : Interarrival times of Haverford s buildings are exponentially distributed. H 1 : Interarrival times of Haverford s buildings are not exponentially distributed, i.e. construction does not follow a Poisson process. Significance level: α =.05 Rejection region: reject H 0 if χ 2 3 > Test statistic: χ 2 3 =.795 p-value:.851 Conclusion: Fail to reject H 0. Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 16/ 18
22 Binned Years Observed (O i ) Expected (E i ) (O i E i ) 2 /E i Σ Hypothesis Test H 0 : The number of buildings built every 49 years follows a Poisson distribution. H 1 : The number of buildings built every 49 years does not follow a Poisson distribution., i.e. construction does not follow a Poisson process. Significance level: α =.05 Rejection region: reject H 0 if χ 2 3 > Test statistic: χ 2 3 = p-value:.570 Conclusion: Fail to reject H 0. Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 17/ 18
23 Conclusions & Extensions Conclusions: Statistically speaking, construction at Haverford does follow a Poisson process. Future construction is not influenced by past construction Time to the next building is independent of the elapsed time since the last building. There are lots of practical things Statistics enables you to do! Extensions: Compare construction with economic events. Incorporate the map use geographical information in the analysis Test for iidness and clumping possibly new research topics?! Arthur Berg A Statistical Journey through Historic Haverford 18/ 18
