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
