Statistical Inference Methods

Techniques used to draw conclusions about a population based on a sample.

Categorical Data

Data that can be divided into distinct categories.

Quantitative Data

Data that can be measured and expressed numerically.

x² Test for Independence

Binomial Distribution

A probability distribution that summarizes the number of successes in a fixed number of trials.

Multinomial Distribution

x² GOF Test (Goodness of Fit Test)

A statistical test used to determine how well a sample distribution fits a population distribution.

One Proportion Test

A hypothesis test used to determine if a sample proportion is significantly different from a known population proportion.

Linear Regression

A statistical method for modeling the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

Spearman's Rank Correlation

A non-parametric measure of rank correlation, assessing how well the relationship between two variables can be described by a monotonic function.

Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test
