Statistical assumptions are general assumptions about statistical populations. Statistics , like all mathematical disciplines, does not generate valid conclusions from nothing. In order to generate interesting conclusions about real statistical population s, it is usually required to make some background assumptions. These must be made with care, because inappropriate assumptions can generate wildly inaccurate conclusions.

A statistical parameter is a parameter that indexes a family of probability distribution s. It can be regarded as a numerical characteristic of a Statistical population population or a Statistical model model . ref Everitt, B.S. 2002 The Cambridge Dictionary of Statistics. CUP. ISBN 0 521 81099 X ref Among parametric family parameterized families of distributions are the normal distribution s, the Poisson distribution s, the binomial distribution s, and the exponential distribution s. The family of normal distribution s has two parameters, the mean and the variance if these are specified, the distribution is known exactly. The family of chi squared distribution s, on the other hand, has only one parameter, the number of degrees of freedom. In statistical inference , parameters are sometimes taken to be unobservable, and in this case the statistician s task is to infer what he can about the parameter based on observations of random variables distributed according to the probability distribution in question, or, more concretely stated, based on a random sample taken from the population of interest.

Statistical parsing is a group of parsing methods within natural language processing . The methods have in common that they associate grammar rules with a probability. Grammar rules are traditionally viewed in computational linguistics as defining the valid sentences in a language. Within this mindset, the idea of associating each rule with a probability then provides the relative frequency of any given grammar rule and, by deduction, the probability of a complete parse for a sentence. The probability associated with a grammar rule may be induced, but the application of that grammar rule within a parse tree and the computation of the probability of the parse tree based on its component rules is a form of deduction. Using this concept, statistical parsers make use of a procedure to search over a space of all candidate parses, and the computation of each candidate s probability, to derive the most probable parse of a sentence. The expectation maximization algorithm is one popular method of searching for the most probable parse. Search in this context is an application of the very useful search algorithm in artificial intelligence . By way of example, think about the sentence The can can hold water . A reader would instantly see that there is an object called the can and that this object ... the first interpretation rather than the second and statistical parsers achieve this by ranking the interpretations ... of methods that statistical parsing algorithms frequently use.

notability date February 2012 Statistical regularity is a notion in statistics and probability theory that random events exhibit regularity when repeated enough times or that enough sufficiently similar random events exhibit regularity. It is an umbrella term that covers the law of large numbers , all central limit theorem s and ergodic theorem s. If one throws a die once, it is difficult to predict the outcome, but if we repeat this experiment many times, we will see that the number of times each result occurs divided by the number of throws will eventually stabilize towards a specific value. Repeating a series of trials will produce similar, but not identical, results for each series the average, the standard deviation and other distributional characteristics will be around the same for each series of trials. The notion is used in games of chance , demographic statistics , quality control of a manufacturing process, and in many other parts of our lives. Observations of this phenomenon provided the initial motivation for the concept of what is now known as frequency probability . This phenomenon should not be confused with the Gambler s fallacy , it only concerns regularity in the possibly very long run. Gambler s fallacy does not apply to statistical regularity because the latter considers the whole rather than individual cases.

A unit in a statistical analysis refers to one member of a set of entities being studied. It is the material source for the mathematical abstraction of a random variable . Common examples of a unit would be a single person, animal, plant, or manufactured item that belongs to a larger collection of such entities being studied. Units are often referred to as being either experimental units , sampling units or, more generally, Unit of observation units of observation An experimental unit is typically thought of as one member of a set of objects that are initially equivalent, with each object then subjected to one of several experimental treatments. A sampling unit is typically thought of as an object that has been sampled from a statistical population . This term is commonly used in opinion polling and survey sampling . In most statistical studies, the goal is to generalize from the observed units to a larger set consisting of all comparable units that exist but are not directly observed. For example, if we randomly sample 100 people and ask them which candidate they intend to vote for in an election, our main interest is in the voting behavior of all eligible voters, not exclusively on the 100 observed units. In some cases, the observed units may not form a sample from any meaningful population, but rather constitute a accidental sampling convenience sample , or may represent the entire population of interest. In this situation, we may study the units descriptive statistics descriptively ... in a study, there would be seven data values for each statistical unit. While a unit is often the lowest level at which observations are made, in some cases, a unit can be further decomposed as a statistical assembly . Many statistical analyses use quantitative data that have units of measurement . This is a distinct and non overlapping use of the term unit. See also Research subject Specimen Statistical ...

When two probability distribution s overlap, statistical interference exists. Knowledge of the distributions can be used to determine the likelihood that one parameter exceeds another, and by how much. This technique can be used for dimensioning of mechanical parts, determining when an applied load exceeds the strength of a structure, and in many other situations. This type of analysis can also be used to estimate the probability of failure or the frequency of failure . Dimensional interference Image Interference.jpg right thumb 300px Interference of measurement distributions to determine fit of parts Mechanical parts are usually designed to fit precisely together. For example, if a shaft is designed to have a sliding fit in a hole, the shaft must be a little smaller than the hole. Traditional tolerance engineering tolerances may suggest that all dimensions fall within those intended tolerances. A process capability study of actual production, however, may reveal normal distribution s with long tails. Both the shaft and hole sizes will usually form normal distributions with some average arithmetic mean and standard deviation . With two such normal distributions, a distribution of interference can be calculated. The derived distribution will also be normal, and its average will be equal to the difference between the means of the two base distributions. The variance of the derived distribution will be the sum of the variances of the two base distributions. This derived distribution can be used to determine how often the difference in dimensions will be less than zero i.e., the shaft ..., the statistical interference may be calculated as above.

refimprove date December 2010 In statistics , statistical dispersion also called statistical variability or variation is variability or spread in a Variable mathematics variable or a probability distribution . Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance , standard deviation and interquartile range . Dispersion is contrasted with location or central tendency , and together they are the most used properties of distributions. Measures of statistical dispersion A measure of statistical dispersion is a real number that is zero if all the data are identical, and increases as the data become more diverse. It cannot be less than zero. Most measures of dispersion have the same scale as the quantity being measured. In other words, if the measurements have units of measurement unit s, such as metres or seconds, the measure of dispersion has the same units. Such measures of dispersion include Standard deviation Interquartile range or Interdecile range Range statistics Range Mean difference Median absolute deviation Average absolute deviation or simply called average deviation Distance standard deviation These are frequently used together with scale factor s as estimator s of scale parameter s, in which capacity they are called estimates of scale. Robust measures of scale are those unaffected by a small fraction of outliers. All the above measures of statistical dispersion have the useful property that they are location invariant , as well as linear in scale. So if a random variable X has a dispersion of S sub X sub then a linear transformation Y aX b for real number real a and b should have dispersion S sub Y sub a S sub X ... information entropy entropy .

A statistical model is a formalization of relationships between variables in the form of mathematical equations. A statistical model describes how one or more random variables are related to one or more random variables. The model is statistical as the variables are not Deterministic system deterministically but stochastic ally related. In mathematical terms, a statistical model is frequently thought of as a pair math Y, P math where math Y math is the set of possible observations and math P math the set of possible probability distributions on math Y math . It is assumed that there is a distinct element of math P math which generates the observed data. Statistical inference enables us to make statements about which element s of this set are likely to be the true one. Most statistical tests can be described in the form of a statistical model. For example, the Student s t test for comparing the means of two groups can be formulated as seeing if an estimated parameter in the model is different from 0. Another similarity between tests and models is that there are assumptions involved. Error is assumed to be normally distributed in most models. ref Field, A. 2005 . Discovering statistics using SPSS. Sage, London. ref Formal definition A Statistical model, math mathcal P math , is a collection of Cumulative distribution function probability distribution functions or probability density function s collectively referred to as distributions for brevity .

A statistical population is a set of entities concerning which statistical inference s are to be drawn, often based on a random sample taken from the population. For example, if we were interested in generalizations about crows , then we would describe the set of crows that is of interest. Notice that if we choose a population like all crows , we will be limited to observing crows that exist now or will exist in the future. Probably, geography will also constitute a limitation in that our resources for studying crows are also limited. Population is also used to refer to a set of potential measurement s or values, including not only cases actually observed but those that are potentially observable . Suppose, for example, we are interested in the set of all adult crows now alive in the county of Cambridgeshire , and we want to know the mean weight of these birds. For each bird in the population of crows there is a weight, and the set of these weights is called the population of weights . Subpopulation Expand section date March 2009 A subset of a population is called a subpopulation. If different subpopulations have different properties, the properties and response of the overall population can often be better understood if it is first separated into distinct subpopulations. For instance, a particular medicine may have different effects on different subpopulations, and these effects may be obscured or dismissed if such special subpopulations are not identified and examined in isolation. Similarly, one can often estimate parameters more accurately if one separates out subpopulations distribution of heights among people is better modeled by considering men and women as separate subpopulations, for instance.

Expert subject Geography date August 2009 Statistical geography is the study and practice of collecting, analysing and presenting data that has a geographic or areal dimension, such as census or demographics data. It uses techniques from spatial analysis , but also encompasses geographical activities such as the defining and naming of geographical regions for statistical purposes. For example, for the purposes of statistical geography, the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses the Australian Standard Geographical Classification, a hierarchical regionalisation that divides Australia up into states and territories of Australia states and territories , then statistical divisions, statistical subdivisions, statistical local areas, and finally census collection districts. Background Image Devils Punchbowl Waterfall, New Zealand.jpg thumb 200px right Devil s Punchbowl Waterfall, New Zealand may be studied using geostatistics Geography Geographers study how and why elements differ from place to place, as well as how spatial patterns change through time. Geographers begin with the question Where? , exploring how features are distributed on a physical or cultural landscape, observing spatial patterns and the variation of phenomena. Contemporary geographical analysis has shifted to Why? , determining why a specific spatial pattern exists, what spatial or ecological processes may have affected a pattern, and why such processes operate. Only by approaching the why? questions can social scientists begin to appreciate the mechanisms of change, which are infinite in their complexity.
