Ppt for 1.1 introduction to statistical inferencevasu Chemistry
This document provides an introduction to statistical inference. It defines statistics as dealing with collecting, analyzing, and presenting data. The purpose of statistics is to make accurate conclusions or predictions about a population based on a sample. There are two main types of statistics: descriptive statistics, which describes data, and inferential statistics, which helps make predictions and generalizations from data. Statistical inference involves analyzing sample data and making conclusions about the population using statistical techniques, as it is impractical to study entire populations. The key concepts of population, sample, parameters, statistics, and sampling distribution are introduced.
This document discusses discriminant analysis, which is a statistical technique used to classify observations into predefined groups based on independent variables. It can be used to predict the likelihood an entity belongs to a particular class. The document outlines the objectives, purposes, assumptions, and steps of discriminant analysis. It provides examples of using it to classify individuals as basketball vs volleyball players or high vs low performers based on variables.
The document discusses factor analysis as an exploratory and confirmatory multivariate technique. It explains that factor analysis is commonly used for data reduction, scale development, and evaluating the dimensionality of variables. Factor analysis determines underlying factors or dimensions from a set of interrelated variables. It reduces a large number of variables to a smaller number of factors. The key steps in factor analysis include computing a correlation matrix, extracting factors, rotating factors, and making decisions on the number of factors.
This document summarizes a lecture on using moment inequalities to estimate preference parameters from discrete choice models. It discusses how this approach differs from standard empirical models by working directly with the inequalities that define optimal behavior. The approach assumes the utility from the actual choice should be larger than the utility from a considered but discarded counterfactual choice. Parameter values that satisfy these inequalities on average are accepted. The document then provides a single agent example to illustrate this approach.
USE OF PLS COMPONENTS TO IMPROVE CLASSIFICATION ON BUSINESS DECISION MAKINGIJDKP
This paper presents a methodology that eliminates multicollinearity of the predictors variables in
supervised classification by transforming the predictor variables into orthogonal components obtained
from the application of Partial Least Squares (PLS) Logistic Regression. The PLS logistic regression was
developed by Bastien, Esposito-Vinzi, and Tenenhaus [1]. We apply the techniques of supervised
classification on data, based on the original variables and data based on the PLS components. The error
rates are calculated and the results compared. The implementation of the methodology of classification is
rests upon the development of computer programs written in the R language to make possible the
calculation of PLS components and error rates of classification. The impact of this research will be
disseminated, based on evidence that the methodology of Partial Least Squares Logistic Regression, is
fundamental when working in a supervised classification with data of many predictors variables.
Discriminant analysis is a statistical technique used to classify individuals or cases into groups based on a set of predictor variables. It can be used to determine which variables discriminate between two or more naturally occurring groups and to classify new observations into one of the existing groups. The key steps involve developing a discriminant function using a linear combination of predictors, evaluating the accuracy of classification, and determining the relative importance of predictors in discriminating between groups. Discriminant analysis requires certain assumptions about the data such as normality and equality of group variances to be valid.

This document introduces key concepts in statistics. It defines statistics as the science of collecting, describing, and interpreting data. Descriptive statistics involves collecting and describing sample data, while inferential statistics involves making conclusions about populations from samples. It discusses populations, samples, variables, and different types of variables. It also covers methods of data collection and different sampling techniques. Finally, it distinguishes between probability and statistics, noting that probability answers questions assuming knowledge of population properties, while statistics uses sample information to draw conclusions about populations.
Statistics deals with the collection, organization, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of numerical data. Descriptive statistics summarize and describe data without generalizing, while inferential statistics makes generalizations from data. There are various methods for collecting data, including direct interviews, indirect questionnaires, observation, experimentation, and registration from agencies. Data can be presented textually, in tables, or graphically in charts and graphs. Population refers to all data for a phenomenon, while a sample is a subset that aims to represent the population.
Statistics involves collecting, describing, and analyzing data. There are two main areas: descriptive statistics which describes sample data, and inferential statistics which draws conclusions about populations from samples. A population is the entire set being studied, while a sample is a subset of the population. Variables are characteristics being measured, and can be either qualitative (categorical) or quantitative (numerical). Data is collected through experiments or surveys using sampling methods to obtain a representative sample from the population. There is usually variability in data that statistics aims to measure and characterize.
Statistics are used by organizations to measure and analyze business performance. American Express uses statistics such as total returns to shareholders, numbers of cardholders by age group, and cardholder spending by age to analyze business units, identify targeted customer groups, and inform marketing campaigns. Statistics on labor force characteristics by gender help conclude that male monthly incomes are typically higher than females, though this does not necessarily mean males spend more.

There are various methods for collecting data, including direct interviews, indirect questionnaires, observation, experimentation, and registration. Data can be presented textually, in tables, or graphically. Population is the total set of data, while a sample is a subset. A census collects all data while a survey uses a sample. Variables can be quantitative or qualitative, discrete or continuous. Measurement scales include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio levels. Sources of error include sampling errors from the sampling process and non-sampling errors from other factors.

QNT 275 Week 4 Apply: Connect Week 4 Case
Part 1
Three hundred consumers between 21 and 49 years old were randomly selected. After sampling a
new wine cooler, each was asked to rate the appeal of the phrase: "Not sweet like wine coolers,
not filling like beer, and more refreshing than wine or mixed drinks" as it relates to the new wine
cooler. The rating was made on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 representing "extremely appealing" and
with 1 representing "not at all appealing".
As a manager overseeing the development of the concept, you bottle the wine cooler and placed it
into distribution in one test store.
Your manager has asked you to assess the data and determine the most likely customer based on
the ratings. Additionally, your manager would like you to review sales in the test store.
Use the Week 3 Data Set to create and calculate the following in Excel®
:
1. Estimate the probability that a randomly selected 21 to 49 year old consumer:
o Would give the phrase a rating of 5
o Would give the phrase a rating of 3 or higher
o Is in the 21-24 age group
o Is a male who gives the phrase a rating of 4
o Is a 35 to 49 year old who gives the phrase a rating of 1
20. o Based on the probabilities for the ratings of 4 and 5, which age/gender
demographic would be the best target audience for the new concept?
2. Create a probability distribution using the data which shows how many cartons of the
wine cooler were bought per customer in a month.
o Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of your probability distribution.
o Calculate the probability that exactly 3 six packs will be bought in a month.
o Calculate the probability that between 4 and 8 six packs will be bought in a
month.
o Calculate the probability that at least 5 six packs will be bought in a month.
o Calculate the probability that no more than 5 six packs will be bought in a
month.
3. Create a relative frequency distribution based on the wine cooler drinking temperatures.
o Create 6 bins with the same interval in each.
o Create a histogram
4. Considering the mean and standard deviation for the ideal drinking temperature:
o Calculate z values then refer to Table 6.1 - Cumulative Areas Under the Standard
Normal Curve
o Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being less than 45 degrees.
o Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being greater than 60 degrees.
o Calculate the percentage of wine coolers served at the ideal temperature, between
49 and 55 degrees.

Note: You have only 1 attempt available to complete assignments.
Part 1
You manage Human Relations for your company. One of your sales managers
has retired, leaving an opening. You are considering two different
employees for the position. Both are highly qualified so you have decided
to evaluate their sales performance for the past year.
Use the Week 4 Data Set to create and calculate the following in
Excel®:
1. Determine the range of values in which you would expect to find the average weekly sales for the
entire sales force in your company 90% of the time.
Calculate the impact of increasing the confidence level to 95%?
Calculate the impact of increasing the sample size to 150, assuming the same mean and standard
deviation, but allowing the confidence level to remain at 90%?
2. Based on the calculated confidence interval for weekly sales on the sample of 50 reps at a 90%
confidence level:
21. Calculate both Reps’ average weekly performance and highlight if it is greater than the
population mean.
3. You want to determine whether there is a statistically different average weekly sales between
Sales Rep A and Sales Rep B.
Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow you to determine whether
their sales performance is statistically different or not.
Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent samples to compare the average
weekly sales of the two candidates.
Calculate the p-value?
4. Considering that individual you did not promote:
Determine whether this person’s average weekly sales are greater than the average weekly sales
for the 50 sales reps whose data you used to develop confidence intervals.
Create Null and Alternative Hypothesis statements that would allow you to determine whether
the new Sales Manager’s weekly average sales are greater than the sample of Sales Reps.
Use a significance level of .05 to conduct a t-test of independent samples to compare the average
weekly sales of both.
Calculate the p-value?
