Slide 3 - Another Way to Consider Variability


pearson's correlation is a way we describe the connection between 2 NUMERIC varibales

Slide 8 - • Properties of 𝑟


corellation tells you the direction not the strength

Slide 11 - Linear Regression


linear regression helps to determine target and create models and predict (the ads knowing a girl was pregnant before father did)

y, response, x, explanatory

1 unit increase in x determines in y

Slide 12 - Linear Regression • The slope of a regression...


Slide 13 - Linear Regression


plug in 400 for x since it is the explanatory variable

Slide 14 - Linear Regression


Slide 15 - Types of Random Sampling?


Slide 16 - Types of Random Sampling?


Slide 18 - What differentiates Experimental and...


keyword: sampling frame

keep experimental randomized

observational may be more confounding

Slide 19 - Study Designs


cohort studies have one control where they DONT have outcome/outcome free and prospective

case control is retrospective and the control is based on when they HAVE VS DONT HAVE, essentially throwback thursday

Slide 20 - Study Designs


recall bias

Slide 21 - Which study design allows us to make claims...


experimental designing with random treatment designing helps make claims about causation

Slide 22


blinding: when the experimenter doesn't know the treatment, the person doesn't know the treatment, or/and when the statician doesn't know the treatment

MATCHED AND THING ALREADY OCCURRED= RETROSPECTIVE= CASE CONTROL

Slide 23


Slide 25


we want RANDOM, TREATMENT ASSIGNMENT OF TWO GROUPS WHO ARE SIMILAR, FOR CAUSAL CLAIMS

Slide 26 - Variable Types


Slide 30 - Histograms and Shape of a Distribution • Data...


Slide 32 - Frequency Distributions


frequency is the count relative frequency is the percent

Slide 33


Slide 34 - Measures of Center?


Slide 37 - Which measure of center should I use? • The...


range, iqr, variance, standard deviation

Slide 39 - • Measures of variability are used to describe...


VARIANCE in squared

Slide 41 - • Which measure of variability is a resistant...


Slide 45 - What’s included in the 5 number summary?
