Study for Statistics Test Level 2 (13)

Today’s study is about

Normality test

This method tests whether a sample is accurately selected from the population.

Quantile-Quantile Plot(Q-Q Plot)

The formula for the empirical distribution function is:

\[ F_n(x) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} I(X_i \leq x) \]

According to the law of large numbers, the empirical distribution function approaches the distribution function of the population.

A Q-Q Plot is a scatter plot that compares the empirical distribution to the ideal distribution.

If the points on the Q-Q plot form a linear pattern, the data conforms to the ideal distribution.

Skewness and Kurtosis

\[ skewness = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( \frac{x_i – \bar{x}}{s} \right)^3 \]

\[ kurtosis = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( \frac{x_i – \bar{x}}{s} \right)^4 – 3 \]

For a normal distribution, both skewness and kurtosis are close to zero.

Goodness of fit test

This test evaluates the goodness of fit between observed and expected frequencies.

Under the null hypothesis

P(Ai)=pi

, the following value conforms to the

χ2

distribution:

\[ \chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O_i – E_i)^2}{E_i} \]

Independence test

The null hypothesis for the independence test is:

\[ E_{ij} = \frac{n_{i \cdot} \times n_{\cdot j}}{n} \]

then,

\[ \chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O_{ij} – E_{ij})^2}{E_{ij}} \]

This conforms to the

χ2

distribution.

Today’s study is complete.
