Statistical Inference with SCILAB
... A population constitutes the collection of all conceivable results of a random process, while a sample is a sub-set of a population. Typically, it is very difficult or impractical to evaluate the entire population for a given parameter. Therefore, we select one or more samples out of the population ...

... The coefficient vector is b = (X′X)-1X′y = (-.0727985, .235622, -.00364866)′. The total sum of squares is y′y = .63652, so we can obtain e′e = y′y - b′X′y. X′y is given in the top row of the matrix. Making the substitution, we obtain e′e = .63652 - .63291 = .00361. To compute R2, we require Σi (xi - ...

Bootstrapping (statistics)
In statistics, bootstrapping can refer to any test or metric that relies on random sampling with replacement. Bootstrapping allows assigning measures of accuracy (defined in terms of bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error or some other such measure) to sample estimates. This technique allows estimation of the sampling distribution of almost any statistic using random sampling methods. Generally, it falls in the broader class of resampling methods.Bootstrapping is the practice of estimating properties of an estimator (such as its variance) by measuring those properties when sampling from an approximating distribution. One standard choice for an approximating distribution is the empirical distribution function of the observed data. In the case where a set of observations can be assumed to be from an independent and identically distributed population, this can be implemented by constructing a number of resamples with replacement, of the observed dataset (and of equal size to the observed dataset).It may also be used for constructing hypothesis tests. It is often used as an alternative to statistical inference based on the assumption of a parametric model when that assumption is in doubt, or where parametric inference is impossible or requires complicated formulas for the calculation of standard errors.
