2. List of unsolved problems in statistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

   There are many longstanding unsolved problems in mathematics for which a solution has still not yet been found. The notable unsolved problems in statistics are generally of a different flavor; according to John Tukey, [1] "difficulties in identifying problems have delayed statistics far more than difficulties in solving problems."

3. Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidelines_for_Assessment...

   The foundations for this framework are the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [1] [2] [3] (NCTM) in 2000. A second report focused on statistics education at the collegiate level, the GAISE College Report, was published in 2005. Both reports were endorsed by the ASA. [4]

4. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

   A statistical hypothesis test is a method of statistical inference used to decide whether the data sufficiently supports a particular hypothesis. A statistical hypothesis test typically involves a calculation of a test statistic. Then a decision is made, either by comparing the test statistic to a critical value or equivalently by evaluating a ...

5. List of statistical tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statistical_tests

   Statistical tests are used to test the fit between a hypothesis and the data. [1] [2] Choosing the right statistical test is not a trivial task. [1] The choice of the test depends on many properties of the research question. The vast majority of studies can be addressed by 30 of the 100 or so statistical tests in use. [3] [4] [5]

6. Monte Carlo method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

   Sawilowsky [56] distinguishes between a simulation, a Monte Carlo method, and a Monte Carlo simulation: a simulation is a fictitious representation of reality, a Monte Carlo method is a technique that can be used to solve a mathematical or statistical problem, and a Monte Carlo simulation uses repeated sampling to obtain the statistical ...

7. Least squares - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

   The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function Conic fitting a set of points using least-squares approximation. In regression analysis, least squares is a parameter estimation method based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (a residual being the difference between an observed value and the fitted value provided by a model) made in the results of each ...
