DEFINITION. Statistics is a branch of mathematics used to summarize, analyze, and interpret a group of numbers or observations. We begin by introducing two general types of statistics: • Descriptive statistics: statistics that summarize observations. • Inferential statistics: statistics used to interpret the meaning of descriptive statistics.
14 lis 2023 · Statistical independence is the central concept in probability theory that distinguishes probability theory from real analysis. The notion of independent events is closely related to conditional probability. Consider an event A with probability \ (P (A)\).
3 lut 2022 · An independent variable is the variable you manipulate or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)
23 kwi 2022 · We will define independence for two events, then for collections of events, and then for collections of random variables. In each case, the basic idea is the same.
Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes. Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect ...

Inferential statistics are a formalized body of techniques that infer the properties of a larger collection of data from the inspection of that collection. They build on these statistics as they infer the properties of samples to various populations.
