Principles of Statistical Inference

چکیده
Statistical theory aims to provide a foundation for studying the collection and interpretation of data that does not depend on the particular details of the substantive field in which the data is being considered. This gives a systematic way to approach new problems, and a common language for summarizing results; ideally the foundations and common language ensure that statistical aspects of one study, or of several studies on closely related phenomena, can in broad terms be understood by the non-specialist. We discuss some principles of statistical inference, to outline how these are, or could be, used to inform the interpretation of results, and to provide a greater degree of coherence for the foundations of statistics.

متن کاملReconciling Frequentist Properties with the Likelihood Principle
SUMMARY For the general problem of parametric statistical inference, several frequentist principles are formulated, including principles which apply to the problems of hypothesis testing, set estimation, predictive inference and conditional inference. These principles give a frequentist interpretation to measures of uncertainty and they guarantee that, whatever the true parameter value, statist...

متن کاملProcrustean statistical inference of deformations
A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...
