Applied Statistics - Week 2

The following chapters and computer exercises are considered read, understood, and solved by the end of the week.

Lectures:
  • Chi Square test.
  • Binomial, Poisson, and Gaussian distributions.
  • 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
        Chi Square Test - several examples: ChiSquareTest_SeveralExamples.py
  • Binomial, Poisson, and Gaussian: BinomialPoissonGaussian.py
  • TableMeasurements: TableMeasurement.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.
