Calculating the expected range of normal samples
Calculating the expected range of normal samples using Python and numerical integration.
Calculating the expected range of normal samples using Python and numerical integration.
Explores the probability of extreme 'six sigma' events using the Student t distribution, showing it's not monotonic and depends heavily on degrees of freedom.
A detailed proof walkthrough of the De Moivre–Laplace theorem, the earliest version of the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution.
A statistical analysis of estimating a normal distribution using binary (yes/no) predictions from multiple scientists, applied to a temperature forecasting problem.
A technical analysis verifying a statistical calculation from an XKCD comic, involving normal distribution probabilities and R code.
A critique of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, arguing it's often misused due to the Central Limit Theorem and is rarely the scientifically relevant question.
