Bootstrapping: described and illustrated Comparing
... The essence of bootstrapping: We begin by assuming a quantitative variable, for which we want to characterize or describe using numerous different statistics (means, medians, trimmed means, variances, sds, skewness, etc.). Our goal is to make inferences about ‘parent population’ parameters using con ...

Independent Samples T
... Comparing Two Groups Independent Samples t-tests: Earlier, our focus was on the mean. We used the mean of the sample (statistic) to infer a range for what our population mean (parameter) might be (confidence interval) or whether it was like some guess or not (significance test). Now, our focus is o ...

... has particular importance because it implies that even if data are sampled from a non-normal distribution, the sampling distribution of the mean (or sum) is normal as N becomes large (Hays, 1994). Thus, “normal theory” test statistics regarding means (or sums) can be applied if sample sizes are “suf ...
