Study Notes

General Linear Model

Incorporates multiple statistical models, including t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and others
Errors (U) are typically assumed to follow a multivariate normal distribution

Components of the General Linear Model

The matrix Y represents the dependent variable or response variable

Extensions of the General Linear Model

Generalizes to the case of more than one dependent variable, known as multivariate multiple regression

Alternative Models

If errors do not follow a multivariate normal distribution, alternative models such as generalized linear models or non-parametric models may be used

Estimation in Statistics

Estimation is the process of making an informed guess about a population parameter based on a sample of data
Often done using point estimates or interval estimates
If an estimate exceeds the actual result, it is known as an overestimate
Involves using sample data to estimate the value of a population parameter
Example: estimating the average height of a population based on a sample of people's heights
