Population; sample; parameter; statistic; point estimate
Interval estimate: Example for normal data
Interpretation of an interval estimate
Hypothesis tests; null hypothesis; alternative hypothesis; test statistic;
Significance level = P(reject H0 when it is true); Power( ) = P(reject H0 when it is false)
Example for normal data
Parametric vs. nonparametric methods
Classes of methods: i) Binomial
ii) Permutation methods: Under H0, all permutations of the observations between groups are equally likely. Generally used in along with ranks or scores.
iii) Bootstrap methods: Mimic sampling from the population by taking samples with replication from the data.
iv) Smoothing methods: Using local averaging, for example.
v) Non-least squares methods: L1 estimation, M estimation, etc.
