Dr. Laurie's Introduction to Statistical Methods
Abstract
First Published in 2017. In this book Dr. Laurie Graham Dodge shares some important fundamnetals of introductory statistics. At its core, statistics is a branch of mathematics. It's a collection of tools that help us organize and make sense of information. Unfortunately, most tools are interesting only if we have an interesting use for them. One of the authors’ major goals in writing this book is to provide you with interesting examples that illustrate many of the important uses of statistics.

“Inferential statistics can be used to make generalizations about larger groups of populations from data gathered from a smaller sample of the larger group and can determine the probability that any differences found between groups was caused by chance (Dodge, 2017; Urdan, 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
