back to Statistics/Theory -- Statistics/Applied Statistics, like all mathematical disciplines does not generate valid conclusions from nothing. Every [Mathematical Theorem]? requires a set of assumptions or hypotheses? from which its conclusions are derived. [Mathematical Proof]?s are procedures for transforming hypotheses into conclusions. The most common statistical assumptions are: #independence of observations from each other (see Statistical Independence) #independence of observational error from potential confounding effects #exact or approximate normality of observations (see Normal Distribution) #linearity of graded responses to quantitative stimuli (see Linear Regression) Dick Beldin |
