Statistical Inference

Statistical inference is the process of deducing properties of an underlying distribution by analysis of data.

Confidence Intervals


A confidence intervals is an interval estimate for a distribution's mean \((\mu)\). It is parameterized by a confidence level, which determines how frequently the confidence interval will contain the true distribution mean.

  1. Choose a probability distribution to sample from.

  2. Choose a sample size \((n)\) and confidence level \((1-\alpha)\).


  3. Start sampling to generate confidence intervals.

  4. Start Sampling

p-Values


The p-value is the probability that a statistical summary, such as mean, would be the same as or more extreme than an observed result given a probability distribution for the statistical summary.

  1. Choose a probability distribution for the statistical summary.

  2. Decide what type of p-value to compute.

  3. Type in an observed result to visualize the p-value.

  4. \(p\) =

  5. Switch input from observation to a p-value and visualization computes the critical value....

Hypothesis Testing


Not Yet Implemented. Check out the following link for an example of the visualization: Hypothesis Testing

  1. Choose an effect size \((d)\).

  2. Choose type of hypothesis test and set the rejection region by dragging and dropping the critical value(s).

  3. Start sampling... Type I error... Type II error...

  4. \(H_{0}\) true \(H_{A}\) true
    accept \(1-\alpha\) \(\beta\)
    reject \(\alpha\) \(1-\beta\)
