It includes statistics on elementary and describes the models and assumptions used to develop and secondary schools and postsecondary degree-granting the national and state projections. The enrollment models use institutions. This report provides revisions of projections enrollment data and population estimates and projections from shown in Projections of Education Statistics to 2021 and NCES and the U.S. Census Bureau. The models are based on projections of enrollment, graduates, teachers, and the mathematical projection of past data patterns into the future. expenditures to the year 2022. The models also use projections of economic variables from IHS Global Insight, an economic forecasting service. In addition to projections at the national level, the report includes projections of public elementary and secondary The projections presented in this report are based on the school enrollment and public high school graduates to the 2010 census and assumptions for the fertility rate, internal year 2022 at the state level.

  • Use of Statistical Tables
    TUTORIAL | SCOPE USE OF STATISTICAL TABLES Lucy Radford, Jenny V Freeman and Stephen J Walters introduce three important statistical distributions: the standard Normal, t and Chi-squared distributions PREVIOUS TUTORIALS HAVE LOOKED at hypothesis testing1 and basic statistical tests.2–4 As part of the process of statistical hypothesis testing, a test statistic is calculated and compared to a hypothesised critical value and this is used to obtain a P- value. This P-value is then used to decide whether the study results are statistically significant or not. It will explain how statistical tables are used to link test statistics to P-values. This tutorial introduces tables for three important statistical distributions (the TABLE 1. Extract from two-tailed standard Normal, t and Chi-squared standard Normal table. Values distributions) and explains how to use tabulated are P-values corresponding them with the help of some simple to particular cut-offs and are for z examples. values calculated to two decimal places.

  • On the Meaning and Use of Kurtosis
    Psychological Methods Copyright 1997 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 1997, Vol. 2, No. 3,292-307 1082-989X/97/$3.00 On the Meaning and Use of Kurtosis Lawrence T. DeCarlo Fordham University For symmetric unimodal distributions, positive kurtosis indicates heavy tails and peakedness relative to the normal distribution, whereas negative kurtosis indicates light tails and flatness. Many textbooks, however, describe or illustrate kurtosis incompletely or incorrectly. In this article, kurtosis is illustrated with well-known distributions, and aspects of its interpretation and misinterpretation are discussed. The role of kurtosis in testing univariate and multivariate normality; as a measure of departures from normality; in issues of robustness, outliers, and bimodality; in generalized tests and estimators, as well as limitations of and alternatives to the kurtosis measure [32, are discussed.

In this supplemental chapter we develop the theory of order statistics in order to prove The Median Theorem. This is a beautiful result in its own, but also extremely important as a substitute for the Central Limit Theorem, and allows us to say non- trivial things when the CLT is unavailable. Chapter 1 Order Statistics and the Median Theorem The Central Limit Theorem is one of the gems of probability. It’s easy to use and its hypotheses are satisfied in a wealth of problems. Many courses build towards a proof of this beautiful and powerful result, as it truly is ‘central’ to the entire subject. Not to detract from the majesty of this wonderful result, however, what happens in those instances where it’s unavailable? For example, one of the key assumptions that must be met is that our random variables need to have finite higher moments, or at the very least a finite variance. What if we were to consider sums of Cauchy random variables? Is there anything we can say? This is not just a question of theoretical interest, of mathematicians generalizing for the sake of generalization. The following example from economics highlights why this chapter is more than just of theoretical interest.

  • Testing Hypotheses

However, in 2005, the price for a Igallon of regular gasoline reached $3.00 and remained high for a long time afterward. The impact of unpredictable fuel prices is still felt across the nation, but the burden is greater among distinct social economic groups and geographic areas. Lower-income Americans spend eight times more of their disposable income on gasoline than wealthier Americans do.1 For example, in Wilcox, Alabama, individuals spend 12.72% of their income to fuel one vehicle, while in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, people spend 1.52%. Nationally, Americans spend 3.8% of their income fueling one vehicle. The first state to reach the $3.00-per-gallon milestone was California in 2005. California’s drivers were especially hit hard by the rising price of gas, due in part to their reliance on automobiles, especially for work commuters. Analysts predicted that gas prices would continue to rise nationally. Declines in consumer spending and confidence in the economy have been attributed in part to the high (and rising) cost of gasoline. In 2010, gasoline prices have remained higher for states along the West Coast, particularly in Alaska and California.

Despite its seeming simplicity, it has complex interdependencies between its procedural components. In this paper, we discuss the underlying logic behind statistical hypothesis testing, the formal meaning of its components and their connections. Our presentation is applicable to all statistical hypothesis tests as generic backbone and, hence, useful across all application domains in data science and artificial intelligence. Keywords: hypothesis testing; machine learning; statistics; data science; statistical inference 1. Introduction We are living in an era that is characterized by the availability of big data. In order to emphasize the importance of this, data have been called the ‘oil of the 21st Century’ [1]. However, for dealing with the challenges posed by such data, advanced analysis methods are needed.

The Inaugural Coase Lecture An Introduction to Regression Analysis Alan O. Sykes* Regression analysis is a statistical tool for the investigation of re- lationships between variables. Usually, the investigator seeks to ascertain the causal effect of one variable upon another—the effect of a price increase upon demand, for example, or the effect of changes in the money supply upon the inflation rate. To explore such issues, the investigator assembles data on the underlying variables of interest and employs regression to estimate the quantitative effect of the causal variables upon the variable that they influence. The investigator also typically assesses the “statistical significance” of the estimated relationships, that is, the degree of confidence that the true relationship is close to the estimated relationship. Regression techniques have long been central to the field of eco- nomic statistics (“econometrics”).

  • 1 - to Overcoming the Reluctance of Epidemiologists to Explicitly Tackle the Measurement Error Problem
    Statistics → Applications → Epidemiology Does adjustment for measurement error induce positive bias if there is no true association? Igor Burstyn, Ph.D. Community and Occupational Medicine Program, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Tel: 780-492-3240; Fax: 780-492-9677; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article is a response to an off-the-record discussion that I had at an international meeting of epidemiologists. It centered on a concern, perhaps widely spread, that measurement error adjustment methods can induce positive bias in results of epidemiological studies when there is no true association. I trace the possible history of this supposition and test it in a simulation study of both continuous and binary health outcomes under a classical multiplicative measurement error model. A Bayesian measurement adjustment method is used. The main conclusion is that adjustment for the presumed measurement error does not ‘induce’ positive associations, especially if the focus of the interpretation of the result is taken away from the point estimate. This is in line with properties of earlier measurement error adjustment methods introduced to epidemiologists in the 1990’s. An heuristic argument is provided to support the generalizability of this observation in the Bayesian framework. I find that when there is no true association, positive bias can only be induced by indefensible manipulation of the priors, such that they dominate the data. The misconception about bias induced by measurement error adjustment should be more clearly explained during the training of epidemiologists to ensure the appropriate (and wider) use of measurement error correction procedures.

  • Hypothesis Testing: Basic Concepts in the Field of Statistics, a Hypothesis Is a Claim About Some Aspect of a Population
    Hypothesis Testing: Basic Concepts In the field of statistics, a hypothesis is a claim about some aspect of a population. A hypothesis test allows us to test the claim about the population and find out how likely it is to be true. The hypothesis test consists of several components; two statements, the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis, the test statistic and the critical value, which in turn give us the P-value and the rejection region (훼), respectively. The null hypothesis, denoted as 퐻0 is the statement that the value of the parameter is, in fact, equal to the claimed value. We assume that the null hypothesis is true until we prove that it is not. The alternative hypothesis, denoted as 퐻1 is the statement that the value of the parameter differs in some way from the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis can use the symbols <, >, 표푟 ≠. The test statistic is the tool we use to decide whether or not to reject the null hypothesis. It is obtained by taking the observed value (the sample statistic) and converting it into a standard score under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. The P-value for any given hypothesis test is the probability of getting a sample statistic at least as extreme as the observed value. That is to say, it is the area to the left or right of the test statistic. The critical value is the standard score that separates the rejection region (훼) from the rest of a given curve. Types of Errors: A Type I Error is incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis (false negative).
