What are the Chances? Probability and Uncertainty in Statistics
Learn how to measure and describe confidence in statistical findings with this course. Explore probability rules, variables, and probability distributions. Discover how to conduct hypothesis tests and interpret uncertainty. Gain the skills to discuss statistical findings and interpret estimates.
This course focuses on how analysts can measure and describe the confidence they have in their findings. The course begins with an overview of the key probability rules and concepts that govern the calculation of uncertainty measures. We’ll then apply these ideas to variables (which are the building blocks of statistics) and their associated probability distributions. The second half of the course will delve into the computation and interpretation of uncertainty. We’ll discuss how to conduct a hypothesis test using both test statistics and confidence intervals. Finally, we’ll consider the role of hypothesis testing in a regression context, including what we can and cannot learn from the statistical significance of a coefficient. By the end of the course, you should be able to discuss statistical findings in probabilistic terms and interpret the uncertainty of a particular estimate.
