AP Statistics 临死前的挣扎（一个懒人）

绪论

因为我懒，所以熬夜。

概率 - Probability

大数定律 - Law of large number (概率的基石)

If we observe more and more repetitions of any chance process, the proportion of times that a specific outcome occurs approaches a single value.

概率 - Probability

$$P(A) = \frac {\text {number of outcomes corresponding to event }A}{\text{total number of outcomes in sample space}}$$

样本空间 - Sample Space

所有可能的结果组成的集合。Set of all possible outcomes.

概率模型 - Probability Models

样本空间 $S$ 以及每个结果说对应的概率。

Probability Rule

• Legitimate values: $$0 \leq P(A) \leq 1$$
• Probability for sample space: $$\sum_i P_i = 1$$
• Complement Rule $$P(A^C) = 1 - P(A)$$

条件概率 - Conditional Probability

Definition: $P(B|A)$ represent the probability that event B happens given that event A happened.

Computation:

$$P(A|B) = \frac {P(A \cup B)} {P(B)}$$ $$P(B|A) = \frac {P(A \cup B)} {P(A)}$$

独立事件 - Independence

两个事件相互独立的定义：如果一个事件的发生不会改变另一个事件发生的概率，那么这两个事件相互独立。

如果两个是事件是独立的，如下关系成立：

$$P(A\cap B) = P(A)P(B)$$ $$P(A|B) = P(A)$$ $$P(B|A) = P(B)$$

Mutually Exclusive

如果一个事件发生了，导致另一个事件必定不可能发生，那么这样的两个事件就是Mutually Exclusive.

If one has happened, the other must not happen at all.

Mutually Exclusive & Independence

如果两个事件是Mutually Exclusive，那么他们必定不可能是Independent的。反之亦然。

$$P(A\cap B) = 0$$

An important conclusion

$$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\cap B)$$

P.S. When $A$ and $B$ are sets,

$$\operatorname{card}(A \cup B) = \operatorname{card}(A) + \operatorname{card}(B) - \operatorname{card}(A \cap B)$$

Two-way Tables

Study two categorical variables.

组合 - Combination

Definition: $n$ 个里面选 $m$ 个

$$C_n^m = \binom {n}{m} = \displaystyle\frac {n!}{m!(n-m)!}$$

计算器：menu -> 概率 -> 组合，e.g. nCr(5, 3) = 10.

重复独立概率 - Repeated Independent Probability

例子：一个人投篮命中率 $70\%$ ，连续投 $5$ 次，恰好命中 $3$ 次的概率：

$$\binom{5}{3} \times 0.7^3 \times 0.3 ^ 2$$

干一件事，成功率是 $p$ ，连续干了 $n$ 次，恰好成功 $m$ 次的概率：

$$\binom{n}{m} \times p^m \times (1 - p)^{n - m}$$

随机变量 - Random Variable

Definition: A numerical varaible that describes the outcomes of a chance process is called a random variable.

概率分布 - Probability Distribution

Definition: The probability model for a random varaible is its probability distribution.

离散型随机变量 - Discete Random Variable

Definition: A discrete random variable $X$ takes a fixed set of possible values. The probability distribution of discrete random variable $X$ lists the values $x_i$ and their probabilities $p_i$.

离散型随机变量的期望 - Mean of Discrete Random Variable

Definition: The mean of any discrete random variable is an average of the possible outcomes, with each weighted by its probability.

$$\mu_x = E[X] = \sum_i x_ip_i$$

P.S. 又称Expected Value，即”期望”。

离散型随机变量的方差 - Variance of Discrete Random Varaible

$$\operatorname{Var}[X] = \sum_i (E[x] - x_i) ^ 2 p_i$$

离散型随机变量的标准差 - Standard Deviation of Discrete Random Variable

$$\sigma_X = \sqrt {\operatorname{Var[X]}} = \sqrt {\sum _ i (E[x] - x_i) ^ 2 p_i}$$

一个重要的公式

$$\operatorname{Var}[X] = E[X^2] - E^2[X]$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&\operatorname{Var}[X] \\ =&\sum_i(E[X] - x_i) ^ 2 p_i \\ =&E[(E[X] - X)^2] \\ =&E[E^2[X] - 2XE[X] + X^2] \\ =&E^2[X] - 2E^2[X] + E[X^2] \\ =& E[X^2] - E^2[X] \end{aligned}$$

P.S. 关于$E[X^2]$，根据定义：

$$E[X^2] = \sum_i x_i^2p_i$$

随机变量的线性变换 - Linear Transformation of Random Variables

$$\begin{aligned} X &\rightarrow aX + b \\ E[X] &\rightarrow aE[X] + b \\ \operatorname{Var}[X] &\rightarrow a^2\operatorname{Var}[X] \\ \sigma_X &\rightarrow |a|\sigma_X \end{aligned}$$

随机变量的结合 - Combining Ramdom Variables

但两个随机变量 $X$, $Y$ 互相独立时：

$$E[X+Y] = E[X] + E[Y]$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&E[X+Y] \\ (\text{since }X\text{ and }Y\text{ are independent})=&\sum_i\sum_j(x_i + y_j) p_{xi} p_{yj} \\ =&\sum_i\sum_j x_ip_{xi} p_{yj} + \sum_i\sum_j y_j p_{xi} p_{yj} \\ =&\sum_ix_ip_{xi}\sum_j p_{yj} + \sum_j y_j p_{yj} \sum_ip_{xi} \\ =&\sum_ix_ip_{xi} + \sum_j y_j p_{yj} = E[X] + E[Y] \end{aligned}$$ $$\operatorname{Var}[X+Y] = \operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y]$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&\operatorname{Var}[X+Y] \\ =&E[(X+Y)^2] - E^2[X+Y] \\ =&E[X^2 + 2XY + Y^2] - (E[X] + E[Y])^2 \\ =&E[X^2] + 2E[XY] + E[Y^2] - E^2[X] - 2E[X]E[Y] - E^2[Y] \\ =&(E[X^2] - E^2[X]) + (E[Y^2] - E^2[Y]) + 2E[XY] - 2E[X]E[Y] \\ =&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y] + 2E[XY] - 2E[X]E[Y] \\ (\text{since }X\text{ and }Y\text{ are independent})=&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y] + 2\sum_i\sum_j(x_iy_i)p_{xi}p_{yj} - 2\sum_ix_ip_{xi} \sum_jy_jp_{yj} \\ =&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y] \end{aligned}$$ $$\sigma_{X+Y} = \sqrt {\sigma_X^2 + \sigma_Y^2}$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&\sigma_{X+Y} \\ =&\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[X+Y]} \\ =&\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y]} \\ =&\sqrt{\sigma_X^2 + \sigma_Y^2} \end{aligned}$$ $$E[X-Y] = E[X] - E[Y]$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&E[X-Y] \\ (\text{since }X\text{ and }Y\text{ are independent})=&\sum_i\sum_j(x_i - y_j) p_{xi} p_{yj} \\ =&\sum_i\sum_j x_ip_{xi} p_{yj} - \sum_i\sum_j y_j p_{xi} p_{yj} \\ =&\sum_ix_ip_{xi}\sum_j p_{yj} - \sum_j y_j p_{yj} \sum_ip_{xi} \\ =&\sum_ix_ip_{xi} - \sum_j y_j p_{yj} = E[X] - E[Y] \end{aligned}$$ $$\operatorname{Var}[X-Y] = \operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y]$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&\operatorname{Var}[X-Y] \\ =&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[-Y] \\ =&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y] (-1)^2 \\ =&\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y] \end{aligned}$$ $$\sigma_{X-Y} = \sqrt {\sigma_X^2 + \sigma_Y^2}$$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&\sigma_{X+Y} \\ =&\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[X-Y]} \\ =&\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}[X] + \operatorname{Var}[Y]} \\ =&\sqrt{\sigma_X^2 + \sigma_Y^2} \end{aligned}$$

Binomial Settings

Definition: A binomial setting arises when we perform several independent trials of the same chance process and record the number of times that a particular outcome occurs. The four conditions for a binomial settings are:

• Binary: The possible outcomes of each trial can be classified as “success” or “failure”
• Independent: Trials must be independent, that is, knowing the result of one trail must not have any effect on the result of any other trial.
• Number: The number of trials $n$ of the chance process must be fixed in advance.
• Success: On each trial, the possibility $p$ must be the same.

要求：

• 结果只有两种，成功或失败
• 每次的事件是独立的
• 固定的次数
• 每次成功概率一样

Binomial Random Variable

Definition: The count $X$ of success in a binomial setting is a binomial random variable

二项分布 - Binomial Distribution

Definition: The probability distribution of $X$ (a binomial random variable) is a binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$.

Binomial Probability

如果一个随机变量 $X$ 是而二项分布随机变量，那么 $P(X=k)$指的就是”exactly $k$ succuesses in $n$ trials”。可以记作：

$X\sim B(n,p)$

$$P(X=k) = \binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k }$$

二项分布的计算器计算

menu -> 统计 -> 分布 -> 二项CDF -> 计算 $P(a \leq X \leq b)$

二项分布的Mean和Standard Deviation

$X \sim B(n,p)$，

期望：

$$\mu_x = E[X] = np$$

推导：

$$E[X] = E[X_1 + X_2 + \cdots X_n] = E[X_1] + E[X_2] + \cdots + E[X_n] = np$$

方差：

$$\operatorname{Var}[X] = np(1-p)$$

推导：

$$\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{Var}[X] \\ =& \operatorname{Var}[X_1 + X_2 + \cdots + X_n] \\ =& \operatorname{Var}[X_1] + \operatorname{Var}[X_2] + \cdots + \operatorname{Var}[X_n] \\ =& n\operatorname{Var}[X_i] \\ =& n((0 - E[X]) ^ 2 (1-p) + (1 - E[X])^2p) \\ =& n(p^2 (1 - p) + (1 - p) ^ 2 p) \\ =& np(1-p) \end{aligned}$$

标准差：

$$\sigma_X = \sqrt {\operatorname{Var}[X]} = \sqrt{np(1 - p)}$$

Geometric Settings

Definition: A geometric setting arises when we perform independent trials of the same chance process and record the number of trials until a particular outcome occurs. The four conditions for a geometric setting are:

• Binary: The possible outcomes of each trial can be classified as “success” or “failure”
• Independent: Trials must be independent, that is, knowing the result of one trail must not have any effect on the result of any other trial.
• Trials: The goal is to count the number of trials until the first success occurs.
• Success: On each trial, the possibility $p$ must be the same.

要求：

• 结果只有两种，成功或失败
• 每次的事件是独立的
• 目标：统计第一次成功时总共用的次数
• 每次成功概率一样

Geomtric Random Variable

Definition: The number of trials $Y$ that it takes to get a success in a geometric setting is a geometric random variable.

几何分布 - Geometric Distribution

Definition: The probability distribution of $Y$ (which is a geometric random variable) is a geometric distribution with parameter $p$, the probability of success on any trial.

Geometric Probability

$Y \sim G(p)$

$$P(Y = k) = p(1 - p)^{k - 1}$$

几何分布的Mean和Standard Deviation

期望：

$$E[Y] = \mu_Y = \frac {1}{p}$$

标准差：

$$\sigma_Y = \frac {\sqrt {1 - p}} p$$

连续性随机变量 - Continuous Random Variable

概率密度曲线 - Density Curve

• is always on or above the horizontal axis $$f(x) \geq 0$$
• has area exactly 1 underneath it: $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t)\mathrm dt = 1$$

对于连续性随机变量，只有区间的概率才有意义，单点的概率趋向于零，且有：

$$P(a < X < b) = P(a \leq X < b) = P(a < X \leq b) = P(a \leq X \leq b)$$

（拓展）概率分布函数：

$$F(x) = \int_{-\infty} ^ {x} f(t) \mathrm dt$$

且概率密度函数是概率分布函数的导数

$$f(x) = F'(x)$$ $$P(a < X \leq b) = F(b) - F(a) = \int_a^b f(x)\mathrm dx$$

正态分布 - Normal Distribution

• 自然界中比较正常、自然随机的变量一般都服从正态分布。
• 随机变量$X$服从均值为$\mu$，标准差为$\sigma$的正态分布，记作 $$X \sim \mathcal N(\mu, \sigma)$$

正态分布的图像

• Unimodal - 单峰
• Symmetric - 对称
• Bell-shaped - 钟形曲线

经验法则 - The Empirical Rule

• $68\%$ 的数据在 $\mu \pm \sigma$ 范围内
• $95.4\%$ 的数据在 $\mu \pm 2\sigma$ 范围内
• $99.7\%$ 的数据在 $\mu \pm 3\sigma$ 范围内

标准正态分布

• Definition: 标准正态分布就是以$0$为均值$1$为标准差的正态分布。
• 标准正态分布可以说是$z-score$形成的正态分布
  • 既然原来的数据是正态分布的，$z-score = \displaystyle\frac {x - \mu}{\sigma}$只是对原来数据进行了线性转换，所以还是服从正态分布的。
  • $z-score$的意义是看数据的大小偏离了均值多少个标准差，所以很明显，$z-score$的均值应该是$0$，标准差是$1$（可以通过定义证明，但同样可以通过感性来理解）

标准正态分布表

使用：算出$z-score$查表，就能知道$P(X \leq x_i) = P(z \leq z_i)$

注：标准正态分布表算的概率是小于某个值的概率。

几种不同的情况：

$$P(X < x_i) = P(z < z_i)$$ $$P(X > x_i) = 1 - P(X < x_i) = 1 - P(z < z_i)$$ $$P(x_1 < X < x_2) = P(X < x_2) - P(X < x_1)$$ $$\text{Inverse: }z_i = \frac {x_i - \mu}{\sigma} \Rightarrow x_i = z_i\sigma + \mu$$

正态分布例题 - Normal Distribution Calculation Example

Women’s heights are $\mathcal N(64, 2.5)$. What percentage of women are shorter than $62$.

$\textit{ Sol. }$ Let a random variable $X$ denotes the womens’s height, $X$ satisfies Normal Distribution. $X \sim \mathcal N(64, 2.5)$. The porportion of women’s heights under $62$ is shown above. (应该在上面画一张图)

$$P(X < 62) = P(z < \frac {62 - 64} {2.5}) = 21.19 \%$$

Approximately there are $21.19\%$ of women are shorter than $62$.

正态分布的题目技巧

如果题目中并没有给出均值或者标准差，不妨试试看标准正态分布，求出$z-score$来进行接下来的计算。

抽样分布 - Sampling Distributions

Population VS. Sample

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Population} & \text {Sample} \\ \text{mean}~~~~~~&\mu &\bar x \\ \text{variance}~~~~~~&\sigma ^ 2&s^2 \\ \text{standard deviation}~~~~~~&\sigma & s \\ \text{proportion}~~~~~~&p & \hat p \end{aligned}$$

Definition: the value of s statistic varies in repeated random sampling is called sampling variability.

Parameter VS. Statistic

Definition:

• Prarmeter: (unknown) number that describes a characteristic of a population.
• Statistic: (obtained) number that describes a characteristic of a sample drawn from the population.

Parameter描绘总体，Statistic描述样本。

Sampling Distribution

Definition: The Sampling Distribution of a statistic is the distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same size from the same population.

简单的来说，这就是每次抽取的样本的统计量的值所构成的分布。举个例子，现在在对一群人做平均升高的统计，每次抽出300个人，算出平均值，记录下来。如果这样随机抽了10000次，这一千次算出来的平均身高就成为: the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

Sample Distribution, Population Distribution, Sampling Distribution

• Sample Distribution: 指的是在单一一次抽样当中，抽样出的数据形成的分布
• Population Distribution: 指的是总体的分布
• Sampling Distribution: 每一次抽样当中得到的statistic放在一起形成的分布（是统计量形成的分布）

Biased and unbiased estimators

Definition: a statistic used to estimate a parameter is an unbiased estimator if the mean of sampling statistic equals the true value of population parameter.

翻译成人话就是说如果一个统计量是一个不biased，那么

$$E[\bar x] = \frac {\bar x_1 + \bar x_2 + \cdots + \bar x_n} n = \mu_x$$ $$E[\hat p] = \frac {\hat p_1 + \hat p_2 + \cdots + \hat p_n} n = p$$

这里的$\bar x$和$\hat p$只是举例，可以换成别的统计量。

Variability of a Statistic

Definition: The variability of a statistic is described by the spread of its sampling distribution. This spread is determined primarily by the size of the random sample. Larger samples give smaller spread. Variability of sampling statistics should be smaller.

翻译成人话：每次抽样数量的多少会影响到Sampling Distribution, 每次抽样得越多，Variability越小，越好。

目标：

• unbiased
• small variability

The Centural Limit Theorem

Draw an SRS of size $n$ from any population with mean $\mu$ and finite standard deviation $\sigma$. The CLT says that when $n$ is large ($n \geq 30$), the sampling distribution of the sample mean $\bar x$ is approximately Normal.

CLT: 在每次抽样的个数变大之后，均值的分布逐渐由不规律转换为正态分布。

Sampling Distribution of a Sample Mean

1. Population follow Normal Distribution: $X \sim \mathcal N(\mu, \sigma) \Rightarrow \bar x \sim\mathcal N(\mu, \displaystyle\frac {\sigma}{\sqrt n})$ $$\begin{aligned} \textit{Proof. } ~~~~~~\mu_{\bar x} &= E\Big[\frac{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{n}\Big] \\ &= \frac {1}{n} E[x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n] \\ &= \frac 1 n (E[x_1] + E[x_2] + \cdots + E[x_n]) \\ &= \frac 1 n n \mu = \mu \\ \operatorname{Var}[\bar x] &= \operatorname{Var}\Big [ \frac {x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{ n} \Big] \\ &= \frac 1 {n ^2} [\operatorname{Var}[x_1] + \operatorname{Var}[x_2] + \cdots + \operatorname{Var}[x_n]] \\ &= \frac {1 }{n^2} [\sigma^2 + \sigma^2 + \cdots + \sigma ^ 2] = \frac {\sigma^2} n \\ \sigma_{\bar x} &= \sqrt {\operatorname{Var}[\bar x]} = \frac \sigma {\sqrt n} \end{aligned}$$
2. Population distribution is skewed / unknown, with $n \geq 30$, $\bar x \sim\mathcal N(\mu, \displaystyle\frac {\sigma}{\sqrt n})$ (According to CLT).

The Sampling Distribution of a Difference Between Two Means

若原分布是正态分布或者$n_1 \geq 30, n_2\geq 30$（根据CLT），那么

$$\bar {x_1} - \bar {x_2} \sim \mathcal N(\mu_1 - \mu_2, \sqrt {\frac {\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac {\sigma_2^2}{n_2}})$$

证明略（可以通过和上面差不多的方法得到证明）。

Sampling Distribution of $\hat p$

每次抽样，得到抽样的数量的分布可以理解为一个二项分布，这个二项分布除以每次抽样得人数，就形成了一个比例的分布。当满足如下条件时：

$$\begin{aligned} \text {large count condition: }~np \geq 10,&~n(1-p)\geq 10 & \text{保证形成正态分布} \\ n \leq& ~10\%~ N &\text {保证抽样形成二项分布} \end{aligned}$$

有：设$X$表示每次抽样数量的随机变量

$$X \sim \mathcal B(n, p) \Rightarrow \hat p \sim \mathcal N(\mu_{\hat p} = p, \sigma_{\hat p} = \sqrt {\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}})$$

推导：

$$E[\hat p] = E\Big [ \frac X n \Big ] = \frac 1 n E[X] = \frac 1 n np = p$$ $$\operatorname{Var}[\hat p] = \operatorname{Var}\Big [ \frac X n \Big] = \frac {1} {n^2} \operatorname{Var}[X] = \frac {1}{n^2} np(1-p) = \frac{p(1-p)}{n}$$ $$\sigma_{\hat p} = \sqrt {\operatorname{Var}[\hat p]} = \sqrt {\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$$

这里面的Fact是：二项分布在$n$逐渐变大时，趋向于正态分布。

而$\hat p = \displaystyle\frac{X}{n}$

得到的结论：$\hat p$也趋向于正态分布

The Sampling Distribution of a Difference Between Two Proportions

If

$$n_1 p_1 \geq 10, ~n_1(1 - p_1) \leq 10$$ $$n_2 p_2 \geq 10, ~n_2(1 - p_2) \leq 10$$ $$n_1 \leq 10\% N_1, ~n_2 \leq 10\%N_2$$

Then

$$\hat p_1 - \hat p_2 \sim \mathcal N(p_1 - p_2, \sqrt {\frac {p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac {p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}})$$

关于正态分布的一个重要结论

两个独立的正态分布的任意线性组合仍然服从正态分布（现无法证明）

Point Estimator

点估计，需要满足Unbiased and Low Variability：

• Unbiased: 无偏差的，即统计出的值（statistic）和真实的值（parameter）一致
• Low Variability: 更好地情况需要方差更小（可以通过增加sample size）

答题技巧：

• Unbiased和Low Variability都要提到

Confidence Interval / Interval Estimation

因为点估计要满足那些个条件，所以引入了区间估计

$$\text {estimate} \pm \text {margin of error}$$

$\text {margin of error}$的大小是一个$\text {trade off}$.

Definition: To interpret a $C\%$ confidence interval for an unknown parameter, say, “We are $C\%$ confident that in the long run the interval from $\text {estimate} - \text {margin of error}$ to $\text {estimate} + \text {margin of error}$ would succeed in $\color{red}{capturing}$ the actual value of the [population parameter in context].”

If the estimator is unbiased, then $E[\hat x] = x$

注意：

• 不是probability
• 主语是interval, 谓语是capture
• 估计的是population parameter，而不是sample statistic.

Confidence Level: $1 - \alpha$

举个例子，$95\%$ confidence的interval，$1 - \alpha = 0.95$

临界值 - Critical Value

记作$z^*$或者$z_{\frac \alpha 2}$，可以理解为，在$[-z^*, z^*]$范围内，”区间”可以包含population parameter。 且$P(z < -z^*) = P(z > z^*) = \displaystyle \frac \alpha 2$，$P(-z^* < z < z^*) = 1 - \alpha$。

有了这个临界值之后，我们就可以通过变换来求出每次sample所对应的”区间”：因为$z^*$是处于一个标准正态分布$\mathcal N(\mu = 0,\sigma = 1)$，在临界处与population parameter差了$z^*$个标准差。

$$\text{confident interval} = \text {sample statistic} \pm z^* \times \text{standard deviation of statistic}$$

以均值这个统计量为例：

$$\text{confident interval of mean} = \text {sample statistic} \pm z^* \times \sigma_{\bar x} = \text {sample statistic} \pm z^* \times \frac {\sigma}{\sqrt n}$$

术语：

• $\text {standard error} = \text{standard deviation of statistic}$
• $\text {margin of error} = z^* \times \text{standard deviation of statistic}$

所以还可以写成：

$$\text{confident interval} = \text {sample statistic} \pm \text {critical value} \times \text{standard error}$$

对于大多数统计量而言，如果要降低$\text {margin of error}$，有两种方法

• 降低置信区间 $C\% \downarrow$
• 增加每次的抽样数 $n \uparrow$

同样，我们把$z$表达出来也可以写出：

$$-z^* < \frac {x - \mu}{\sigma_x} < z^*$$

其中$x$为样本的值（statistic），$\mu$为总体均值，$\sigma$为总体标准差，那么

$$x - \sigma_x z^* < \mu < x + \sigma_x z^*$$

$t$分布 - $t$ Distribution

在我们在根据样本做预测时，我们的统计量会会呈现出一种新的分布，被称为$t$ distribution. 其中

$$t = \frac {x - \mu}{s_x}$$

其中，$s_x$为是这个统计量的标准差，其可以转化为关于抽样数据标准差$s$的式子（上面提到过，不同的统计量不同），且有

$$s = \frac {\sum _{i = 1} ^ n (x_i - \bar x)^2}{n - 1}$$

这里的自由度（$\text{degree of freedom}$）是$n-1$，由于找不到很严格的说明方法（只是我太菜了看不懂罢了），有一个形象的理解：

一个系统中有$n$个变量，我们要通过抽样得一部分数据来预测population parameter，我们会发现在确定了$n-1$个数据之后，最后一个数据和系统的paramter是密切相关的，可以自由设置的值只有$n-1$个，$\text{df} = n - 1$

其实我也觉得很胡扯，但没办法（哭，考试还是得考的嘛

$t$分布的特点

• It is symmetric with a single peak at $0$.
• It has much more data on the tails.
• It has a similar shape like normal distribution, but a greater spread and a lower peak.

When $n \rightarrow \infty$, $t \rightarrow z$.

用样本的标准差估计的置信区间

因为我们做估计的时候，永远也不可能获得population的标准差，只可能得到sample的标准差，此时就要用自由度为$n-1$的$t$值：

$$\text {critical value }t^* = t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}^{n - 1}}$$ $$-t^* < \frac {x - \mu}{s_x} < t^*$$ $$x - s_x t^* < \mu < x + s_x t^*$$

置信区间：$x \pm s_xt^*$

$$\text{confident interval} = \text {sample statistic} \pm t^* \times \text{standard deviation of statistic}$$

置信区间的条件

• Random: The data should come from a well-designed random sample or randomized experiment.
• Normal: The sampling distribution is exactly Normal if the population distribution is Normal. In the cases that the population distribution is not normal, the Centural Limit Theorem (CLT) tells us that the sampling distribution of sample mean will be approximately normal if $n$ is large ($n \geq 30$). (For proportions, $np \geq 10, n(1 - p) \geq 10$)
• Independent: Individual observations Individual observations are independent if $n \leq \frac 1 {10} N$. This is called $10\%$ condition.

单样本Mean的置信区间

Population distribution is normal or sample space is large ($n \geq 30$), with $n \leq 10\% N$,

$$\bar x \sim \mathcal N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n})$$

When $\sigma$ is known

$$\text{Confidence Interval: } \bar x \pm z^*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$$

When $\sigma$ is unknown

$$\text{Confidence Interval: } \bar x \pm t^*_{n - 1}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$$

双样本Mean的置信区间

Both population distribution is normal or both sample size is large ($n_1 \geq 30, n_2 \geq 30$), with $n_1 \leq 10\% N_1, n_2 \leq 10\% N_2$,

$$\bar {x_1} - \bar {x_2} \sim \mathcal N(\mu_1 - \mu_2, \sqrt {\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}})$$

When $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ is known

$$\text {Confidence Interval: }(\bar{x_1} - \bar{x_2}) \pm z^*\sqrt {\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}$$

When $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ is unknown

$$\text {Confidence Interval: } (\bar{x_1} - \bar{x_2}) \pm t^*_{df}\sqrt {\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}$$

in which

$$df = \frac{(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2})}{\frac{1}{n_1 - 1}(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1})^2 + \frac{1}{n_2 - 1}(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2})}$$

例题

FRQ One of the two fire stations in a certain town responds to calls in the northern half of the town, and the other fire station responds to calls in the southern half of the town. One of the town council members believes that the two fire stations have different mean response times. Response time is measured by the differnce between the timwe an emergency call comes into the fire station and the time the first fire truck arrives at the scene of the fire. Data were collected to investigate whether the council member’s beliefis correct. A random sample of $50$ calls selected from the northern fire station had a mean response time of $4.3$ minutes with a standard deviation of $3.7$ minutes. A random sample to $50$ calls selected from the southern fire station had a mean response time of $5.3$ minutes with a standard deviation of $3.2$ minutes. Construct and interpret a $95$ percent confidence interval for the difference in mean response times between the two fire stations.

Step 1: State The two-sample $t$ interval for $\mu_N - \mu_S$, the difference in population mean response times, is $(\bar x_N - \bar x_S) \pm t^* \sqrt {\displaystyle\frac{s_N^2}{n_N} + \displaystyle\frac{s_S^2}{n_S}}$, where $\mu_N$ denotes the mean response for calls from the northern fire station and $\mu_s$ denotes the mean response for calls from the southern fire station.

Step 2: Plan Conditions

• Random: A random sample of 50 calls was selected from the northern fire station, and random sample of 50 calls selected from the southern station
• Independent: The calls of the northern are independent from the calls of the southern.
• Normal (稍微详细写一点): The use of the two-sample $t$ interval is reasonable beacause both sample sizes are large ($n_N = 50 > 30$ and $n_S = 50 > 30$), and by Centural Limit Theorem, the sampling distributions for the two sample means are approximately normal. Therefore the sampling distribution of the difference of the sample means $\bar x_N - \bar x_S$ is approximately normal.

Step 3: Do

$\text{The Degree of freedom}= 96$

$$\begin{aligned} &(4.3 - 5.3) \pm 1.985 \sqrt {\frac{3.7^2}{50} + \frac{3.2^2}{50}} \\ &-1.0 \pm 1.985 \times 0.6918 \\ &(-2.37,0.37) \end{aligned}$$

Step 4: Interpretation Based on these samples, one can be $95$ percent confident that the difference in the population mean response times (northern - southern) is between $-2.37$ minutes and $0.37$ minutes.

这里面的数据其实是靠反推得到的：首先先用计算器计算出「双样本t区间」得到「df」，再用「df」得到「$t^*_{df}$」

The One-Sample for Matched-Pairs Sample

这是一个巨大的陷阱：这里的「Matched-Pairs」指的是一组匹配的数据，几个数据是一个pair，那么这种数据是单样本数据

对于这样的单样本数据，（如果我们要看pair里面的差的分布，使用$d = x_1 - x_2$，并且看的是$\bar d$的分布而非$\bar x_1 - \bar x_2$

$$\text{Confidence Interval: } \bar {x_d} \pm t^*_{n - 1} \frac{s_d}{\sqrt n}$$

单样本Prop的置信区间

Using the normal approximation as long as $n\hat p \geq 10, n(1 - \hat p) \geq 10$, and independent, $n \leq 10\% N$,

$$\hat p \sim \mathcal N(p, \sqrt \frac{p(1 - p)}{n})$$

用$\hat p$估计替代$p$，而且在Prop里只有$z$分布：

$$\text{Confidence Interval: }\hat p \pm z^* \sqrt \frac {\hat p(1 - \hat p)}{n}$$

双样本Prop的置信区间

Using the normal approximation as long as $n_1\hat p_1 \geq 10, n_1(1 - \hat p_1) \geq 10, n_2\hat p_2 \geq 10, n_2(1 - \hat p_2) \geq 10$, and independent, $n_1 \leq 10\% N_1, n_2 \leq 10\% N_2$,

$$\hat p_1 - \hat p_2 \sim \mathcal N(p_1 - p_2, \sqrt {\frac {p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac {p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}})$$

用$\hat p_1$估计替代$p_1$，$\hat p_2$估计替代$p_2$，而且在Prop里只有$z$分布：

$$\text {Confidence Interval: } (\hat p_1 - \hat p_2) \pm z^* \sqrt {\frac {\hat p_1(1 - \hat p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{\hat p_2(1 - \hat p_2)}{n_2}}$$

Hypothesis Test

Introduction

Hypothesis test statistical idea: flasifiability 可证伪性

这不重要

显著性实验 - Significance Test

Definition: A significance test is a formal procedure for comparing observed data with a claim whose truth we want to assess. This claim is a statement about a parameter, like the population proportion $p$ or the population mean $\mu$. We express the results of a significance test in terms of a probability that measures how well the data and the claim agree.

人话：现有一个关于population parameter的claim，我们要测试它到底真实到什么程度。

Null Hypothesis & Alternative Hypothesis

要推翻的理论：Null Hypothesis ($H_0$)

支持的理论：Alternative Hypothesis ($H_a$)

Test Statistic

Definition: A test statistic measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis $H_0$ were true, in standardized units. That is

$$\text{test statistic} = \frac{\text{statistic} - \text{parameter}}{\text{standard deviation of statistic}}$$

人话：抽样得statistic相对于，以$H_0$的parameter为$\mu$，自身的标准差为$\sigma$，的$z$值。

显著程度 - Significance Level $\alpha$

The significance level ($\alpha$) defined for a study is the probability of the study rejecting the null hypothesis, given that it were true.

人话：我们做的实验得到的数据有多大的概率推翻原假设

Stating Hypothesis (left-tailed test)

When

$$H_0 : \text {parameter = claimed value}$$ $$H_a : \text {parameter} < \text {claimed value}$$

If

$$\text {test statistic} < -z_{\alpha}$$

then $H_0$ can be rejected.

Stating Hypothesis (right-tailed test)

When

$$H_0 : \text {parameter = claimed value}$$ $$H_a : \text {parameter} > \text {claimed value}$$

If

$$\text {test statistic} > z_\alpha$$

then $H_0$ can be rejected.

Stating Hypothesis (two-tailed test)

When

$$H_0 : \text {parameter = claimed value}$$ $$H_a : \text {parameter} \neq \text {claimed value}$$

If

$$|\text {test statistic}| > z_{\frac {\alpha}{2}}$$

then $H_0$ can be rejected.

标准差$\sigma$未知的情况

和CI问题相同，使用$t$分布来替代$z$分布，使用$s$代替$\sigma$，上述过程中的所有Inverse-z替换成Inverse-t.

注意自由度$df$

$P-\text {Values}$

$t$值和$z$值不方便，不直接，不直观，所以引入了$P-\text {Values}$.

Definition: P-value is the probability that we observe a test statistic value at least as extreme as the one computed from the sample, if $H_0$ were true.

人话：P-value描述的是，比现在的值还要极端的值还有多少

计算方法：计算$t$分布或$z$分布的CDF

• left-tailed: $P(z < \text {test statistic})$或者$P(t < \text {test statistic})$
• right-tailed: $P(z > \text {test statistic})$或者$P(t > \text {test statistic})$
• two-tailed: $P(|z| > |\text {test statistic}|)$或者$P(|t| > |\text {test statistic}|)$

$P-\text {Values}$得到的结论

$$P-\text{Values} < \alpha \rightarrow \text {reject }H_0 \rightarrow \text {conclude }H_a \text {(in context)}$$ $$P-\text{Values} \geq \alpha \rightarrow \text {fail to reject }H_0 \rightarrow \text {cannot conclude }H_a \text {(in context)}$$

Type I and Type II Errors

拒真错误 - Type I Error

Definition: 当$H_0$为真，reject $H_0$.

有$\alpha$的概率产生拒真错误

想要减少Type I Error，需要减少$\alpha$

受伪错误 - Type II Error

Definition: 当$H_0$为假，fail to reject $H_0$.

想要减少Type II Error，需要增加$\alpha$

Power - $1 - \beta$

Definition: 当$H_0$为假，成功reject的概率就是Power，为$1 - \beta$.

自然，我们可得：Type II Error的概率为$\beta$

增加Power的方法：

• 增加$\alpha$
• 增加Sample Size

HT问题的Conditions

和CI问题的Conditions差不多，还是三个条件：

• Random: The data should come from a well-designed random sample or randomized experiment.
• Independent: Individual obervations are independent if $n \leq \displaystyle\frac{1}{10}N$
• Normal:
  • Normal if the original distribution is Normal.
  • Normal according to Central Limit Theorem when $n \geq 30$.
  • Normal when approximating by Binomial Distribution and $np \geq 10$, $n(1 - p) \geq 10$.
  • 在题目中没有提及且是小样本的情况下：
    1. 画Dot Plot
    2. Since the graph reveal no obvious skewness or outliers, we assume that the distribution is approximately normal.

The One-Sample $z$ Test

When conditions are met, we can test a claim about a poulation mean $\mu$ using a one-sample $z$ test.

one-sample $z$ statistic:

$$z = \frac {\bar x - \mu_0}{\frac {\sigma}{\sqrt n}}$$

The One-Sample $t$ Test

When conditions are met, we can test a claim about a population mean $\mu$ using a one-sample $t$ test.

one-sample $t$ statistic:

$$t = \frac {\bar x - \mu_0}{\displaystyle\frac {s_x}{\sqrt n}}$$

$df = n - 1$

Two-Sample $z$ Test for The Difference Between Two Means

Suppose the Random, Normal and Independent conditions are met. To test the hypothesis $H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = \text {hypothesis value}$, compute the $z$ statistic

$$z = \frac {(\bar x_1 - \bar x_2) - (\mu_1 - \mu_2)}{\displaystyle\sqrt {\frac{\sigma_1 ^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2 ^2}{n_2}}}$$

Two-Sample $t$ Test for The Difference Between Two Means

Suppose the Random, Normal and Independent conditions are met. To test the hypothesis $H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = \text {hypothesis value}$, compute the $t$ statistic

$$t = \frac {(\bar x_1 - \bar x_2) - (\mu_1 - \mu_2)}{\displaystyle\sqrt {\frac{s_1 ^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2 ^2}{n_2}}}$$

Paired-Data $t$ / $z$ Test

和CI中的Paired Data一样，这也是陷阱，需要用相同的方式去处理

The One-Sample $z$ Test for a Proportion

Choose an SRS of size $n$ from a large population that contains an unknown proportion $p$ of successe. To test the hypothesis $H_0 : p = p_0$, compute the $z$ statistic

$$z = \frac {\hat p - p_0}{\displaystyle\sqrt\frac{p_0(1 - p_0)}{n}}$$

注意：在做比例的CI时，使用的是$\hat p$（因为$p$未知）

Two-Sample $z$ Test for the Difference Between Two Proportions

Suppose the Random, Normal, and Independent conditions are met. To test the hypothesis $H_0 : p_1 - p_2 = 0$, first find the pooled proportion $\hat p_C$ of successes in both samples combined

$$\hat p_C = \frac {\hat p_1 n_1 + \hat p_2 n_2}{n _ 1 + n _ 2}$$

Then compute the $z$ statistic

$$z = \frac {(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2) - 0}{\sqrt {\displaystyle\frac{\hat p_C(1 - \hat p_C)}{n_1} + \displaystyle\frac{\hat p_C(1 - \hat p_C)}{n_2}}}$$

解释：在做区间估计的时候，我们用$\hat p$来替代$p$。在这边我么只是假设了$p_1 = p_2$，但是没有假设$p_1$和$p_2$是多少。如果我们照搬以前的办法，使用$\hat p_1$和$\hat p_2$来替代的话，会发现这会与我们的假设$p_1 = p_2$矛盾，所以定义一个$\hat p_C$。

例题

FRQ Investigators at the U.S. Department of Agriculture wished to compare methods of determining the level
of $E$ coli bacteria contamination in beef. Two different methods (A and B) of determining the level of contamination were used on each of ten randomly selected specimens of a certain type of beef. The data obtained, in millimicrobes/liter of ground beef, for each of the methods are shown in the table below.

这里省略了一堆数据

Is there a significant difference in the mean amount of $E$. coli bacteria detected by the two methods for this type of beef? Provide a statistical justification to support your answer.

Step 1: State

$$H_0 : \mu_d = 0$$ $$H_a : \mu_d \neq 0$$

where $\mu_d$ is the mean difference (method A - method B) in the level of E. coli bacteria contamination in beef detected by the two methods.

Thus, we are gonna use the Paired $t$-test, where

$$t = \frac {\bar x_d - 0}{\displaystyle\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n_d}}}$$

Step 2: Plan

Conditions:

• Since the observations are obtained on 10 randomly selected specimens, it is reasonable to assume that the 10 data pairs are independent of one another.
• The population distribution of differences is normal. (画图，说为什么Normal)

The computed differences are:

$$-0.3, 0.5, 0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 0.7, 1.2, 0.2, -0.1, -1.0$$

Step 3: Do

$$\bar x_d = 0.29$$ $$s_d = 0.629727$$ $$t = \frac{0.29}{0.629727 / \sqrt {10}} = 1.46$$ $$d.f. = 9$$ $$P-\text {value} = 0.179$$

Step 4: Intepretation

Since the $P$ -value is greater than $0.05,$ we cannot reject $H_{0} .$ We do NOT have statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean amount of $E$. coli bacteria detected by the two methods for this type of beef. In other words, there does not appear to be a significant difference in these two methods for measuring the level of $E$. coli contamination in beef.

Inference for Categorical Data: Chi-Square

卡方统计量 - The Chi-Square Statistic

Definition: The Chi-Square Statistic is a measure of how far the observed counts are from the expected counts. The formula for the statistic is

$$\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(\text {observed} - \text {expected})^2}{\text {expected}}$$

The Chi-Square Distributions and P-Values

The chi-square distributions are a family of distributions that take only positive values and are skewed to the right.

A particular chi-square distribution is specified by giving its degrees of freedom.

The chi-square goodness-of-fit test uses the chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom = $k - 1$, in which $k = \# categories$

The Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test

Null Hypothesis & Alternative Hypothesis

$$H_0 : \text {The specified distribution of the categorical variable is correct.}$$ $$H_a : \text {The specified distribution of the categorical variable is not correct.}$$

人话：要反驳一个categorical variable的分布

Conditions

• Random: The data come from a random sample or a randomized experiment
• Independent: Individual observations are independent if $n \leq \displaystyle\frac {1}{10}N$. This is called $10\%$ condition.
• Large Sample Size: All expected counts are at least $5$.

注：这里是Expected Counts大于五。

The Chi-Square GOF Test

Suppose the conditions are met. Start by finding the expected count for each category assuming that $H_0$ is true. Then calculate the chi-square statistic. The P-value is the area to the right of chi-square distribution with $k - 1$ degrees of freedom.

使用计算器计算：menu -> Statistic -> Stat Tests -> $\chi^2$ GOF

Observed List: 一个数组，在TI-nspire中可以表示为$\{n1, n2, n3, ...\}$

Expected List: 一个数组，同上

Degree of Freedom: 自由度，$k - 1$

The Chi-Square Test for Association / Independence

Null Hypothesis & Alternative Hypothesis

$$H_0 : \text{There is no association between two categorical variables in the population of interest.}$$ $$H_a : \text{There is an association between two categorical variables in the population of interest.}$$

人话：看两件事相不相关

Conditions

• Random: The data come from a random sample or a randomized experiment
• Large Sample Size: All expected counts are at least $5$.

注：这里是Expected Counts大于五。

Calculations

$$\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(\text {observed} - \text {expected})^2}{\text {expected}}$$

in which the expected value is given by

$$P(row_i \cap col_j) = P(row_i) \times P(col_j) \text { since assumed independent}$$ $$\Rightarrow \text {total} \times \text {total} \times P(row_i \cap col_j) = [P(row_i) \times \text {total}] \times [P(col_j) \times \text {total} ]$$ $$\Rightarrow \text {expected}_{ij} = \frac {\text {row-total}_i \times \text {col-total}_j}{\text {total}}$$

The degree of freedom is

$$\text {df} = (\#row - 1)(\#col - 1)$$

使用计算器计算：menu -> Statistics -> Stat Tests -> $\chi^2$ 2-way Test

Matrix: 创建矩阵（menu -> Matrix & Vector -> Create -> Matrix）

Inference for Quantitative Data: Slope

Least Regression Line的斜率$b$也是一个统计量，所以也可以做CI和HT问题。这里直接给出众多公式：

Least Regression Line

Line Predicted from the sample:

$$\hat y = a + bx$$

Line for the population:

$$\hat y = \alpha + \beta x$$

Sampling Distribution of a Slope

• The Mean of the sampling distribution of $b$ is $\mu_b = \beta$
• The Standard Deviation of the sampling distribution of $b$ is $$\sigma_b = \frac {\sigma}{\sigma_x \sqrt n}$$
• The Standard Error of $b$ is $$SE_b = \frac {s}{s_x \sqrt {n - 1}}$$
  $s$是$b$的标准差，$s_x$是原始数据中$x$的标准差。

Confidence Interval

$$b \pm t^* SE_b$$

这里的$df$是$n-2$

Hypothesis Test

Test Statistic

$$t = \frac {b - \beta _ 0}{SE_b}$$

A Group that is not assigned of any treatment.

Control Group 的好处

A control group gives the researchers a comparison group to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments (medication, therapy, etc.), in comparison with normal effect (context) of control group on the response variable (context).

Randomized Blocked Design

把对象根据不同的feature进行分组，然后在组内进行random的抽取

Randomized Blocked Design 的好处

lower 组内的 Variability

是否可以Single-Blind / Double-Blind

单盲（single blind）

• 只有研究者了解分组情况，研究对象不知道自己是试验组还是对照组。
• 这种盲法的优点是研究者可以更好地观察了解研究对象，在必须时可以及时恰当地处理研究对象可能发生的意外问题，使研究对象的安全得到保障。
• 缺点是避免不了研究者方面带来的主观偏倚，易造成试验组和对照组的处理不均衡。

双盲（Double Blind）

双盲试验，是指在试验过程中，测验者与被测验者都不知道被测者所属的组别（实验组或对照组），分析者在分析资料时，通常也不知道正在分析的资料属于哪一组。旨在消除可能出现在实验者和参与者意识当中的主观偏差和个人偏好。在大多数情况下，双盲实验要求达到非常高的科学严格程度。
