This presentation was given by Aneta Siemiginowska at the 4th International X-ray Astronomy School (2005), held at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA.
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression, sample size requirements for approximate normality of the MLE’s, confidence intervals, likelihood ratio statistic, score test statistic, deviance, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic, the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic, parameter estimates, scaled/unscaled estimates, residuals, grouped binomials, and model building strategies.
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: 2x2 contingency tables, fixing columns and rows, MLE, and previous topics within the context of contingency tables (variance, confidence intervals, standard error approximation, likelihood ratio, etc.).
This presentation is a part of a series of lessons on the Analysis of Categorical Data. This lecture covers the following: Wald test, score test, likelihood-ratio test, large sample confidence intervals, and the F distribution.
This is a graduate level introduction to statistics including topics such as probabilty/sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, ANOVA, and regression. Perfect for students and teachers wanting to learn/acquire materials for this topic.
A song that may be used in discussing the meaning and interpretation of the confidence level for a confidence interval. The lyrics were written by Mary McLellan from Aledo High School in Aledo, Texas as one of several dozen songs created for her AP statistics course. The song may be sung to the tune of the Beatles 1965 hit song Can’t Buy Me Love, written by Paul McCartney. Also, an accompanying video may be found at
