Statistical Tests

Develop the basic methodology of hypothesis testing for statistical analysis of experimental and simulation studies. Through lectures and exercises using Python, explore the fundamentals of probability theory, population statistics, and statistical methods including p-values, t-test, U-test, Welch test, confidence intervals, single and multivariate analyses, and correlations. Extend these concepts with discussion of information theory, mutual information, and experimental design.

Prerequisites or Prior Knowledge

Students are expected to have basic knowledge of elementary mathematics such as differentiation, integration, and elementary linear algebra. However, whenever necessary, mathematical details will be explained.
