Applied Statistics - Week 2

The following chapters (including exercises in the book!) and computer exercises are considered read, understood, and solved by the end of the week.

Lectures:
  • Chi Square test.
  • Systematic Errors.

    Reading:
  • Chapter 4.4 (again!).
  • Chapter 5.1 and 5.2 (but not the proofs).
  • Chapter 6: 6.1 and 6.4 on Chi Square.

    Computer exercises:
  • Chi Square Test: ChiSquareTest.py
  • Coffee Usage (example of fitting data): CoffeeUsage.py
         Coffee Usage solution example: CoffeeUsage_solution.py

    Python coding test example:
    Tuesday I tried to show a simple example of how to start a Python code (reading the Auditorium A table measurements), and this can be found here: test.py.

    Comments:
    We will also touch briefly the use of simulation in statistics, which turns out to be one of the modern days important contributions to statistics.
