Chapter 10
Statistical Inference II
Statistical Inference journey continues. Methods covered in this chapter allow us to conduct new tests for independence and for the goodness of fit (sec. 10.1), test hypotheses without relying on a particular family of distributions (sec. 10.2), make full use of Monte Carlo methods for estimation and testing (sec. 10.3), and account for all the sources of information in addition to the real data (sec. 10.4).
10.1 Chi-square tests
Several important tests of statistical hypotheses are based on the Chi-square distribution. We have already used this distribution in Section 9.5 to study the population variance. This time, we will develop several tests based on the counts of our sampling units that fall in various ...
