In this final topic, we consider using the estimated regression line to estimate the mean response at a given value of the explanatory (x) variable. The standard error… -

In this lesson, the assumption of the normality of errors, and hence the normality of the responses is added to the simple linear regression model. The consequences are… -
From Jane Harvill
In this lesson, two models for paired data are introduced that are also called simple linear regression models. In the previous lesson, the estimators we derived… -
From Jane Harvill
Methods for estimating the coefficients in the simple linear regression model are investigated. The least squares method is a purely mathematical approach, requiring no… -
From Jane Harvill
In analysis of variance, we looked at how one factor (a discrete or a categorical variable) influenced the means of a response variable. We now turn to simple linear… -
From Jane Harvill
Linear combinations of means, and in particular contrasts, play an important role in analysis of variance (ANOVA). Through understanding and analyzing contrasts,… -

In this lesson, we consider the "Classic ANOVA Hypothesis." Assumptions on the cell means model are described and used to devise an F test for the hypothesis. -
From Jane Harvill
Up until now, we have modeled random variables with a probability mass function or a probability density function. We then discussed in detail the theory behind… -

In this lesson, some approximate and asymptotic versions of confidence sets are explored. The purpose here is to illustrate some methods that will be of use in more… -
From Jane Harvill
The lesson describes a few methods for deriving some tests in complicated problems in which no optimal test (such as the uniformly most powerful test) exists or is… -
From Jane Harvill
There are several properties to be considered when considering a point estimator from an asymptotic perspective. In this lesson, the concepts of consistency and… -
From Jane Harvill
Loss function for confidence sets (or credible sets) combines the maximum coverage probability and shortest interval criteria into one function - the loss function. The… -
From Jane Harvill
The goal of obtaining a smallest confidence set with a specified coverage probability can also be attained using Bayesian criteria. If we have a posterior distribution… -
From Jane Harvill
Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between confidence sets and tests of hypotheses, there is some correspondence between the optimality of tests and the… -
From Jane Harvill
There are a number of methods for finding an interval estimator. In the frequentist domain, the three methods previously discussed are inverting the acceptance region…
