FDS-S2-02-1-4 Issues in A/B testing

We discuss the issue of statistical versus practical significance, think a little about the ethics of A/B testing, and situate A/B testing in the wider class of statistical inference from 2 samples.

FDS-S2-01-2-5 Maximum likelihood estimation of logistic regression coefficients

We introduce the principle of maximum likelihood, and show how to derive the likelihood as a function of the coefficients for logistic regression. We also mention one topical application of logistic…

FDS-S2-01-2-4 The logistic regression classifier

We show how to make a logistic regression classifier, and, in the context of ethics, consider how transparent logistic regression can be made to people whose lives it affects. We also compare…

FDS-S2-01-2-3 Multiple logistic regression and confidence and intervals

We extend logistic regression to multiple independent variables, and show how we can use the boostrap to estimate confidence intervals for coefficients, and to test hypotheses.

FDS-S2-01-1-4 Issues in hypothesis testing

We consider 3 issues in hypothesis testing: Type I and Type II errors; cherry-picking, p-value hacking etc., and a short discussion about the possibility that hypothesis-driven research can hinder…

FDS-S2-01-1-3 Goodness-of-fit

We'll extend the previous example to a one-way contingency table with multiple categories, in which the chi-squared "goodness-of-fit" statistic is used. We then extend it further to a…
