The goodness-of-fit of a statistical model describes how well it fits a set of observations. Measures of goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy between observed values and the values expected under the model in question Goodness-of-fit means how well a statistical model fits a set of observations Pearson’s c²-Tests Chi-Square Tests for Discrete Models The Pearson's chi-square test enables to compare two probability mass functions of two distribution. If the difference value (Error) is greater than the critical value, the two distribution are said to be different or the first distribution does not fit (well) the second distribution. If the difference if smaller that the critical value, the first distribution fits well the second distribution (Pearson's ) Chi-Square test Pearson's chi-square is used to assess two types of comparison: tests of goodness of fit: it establishes whether or not an observed frequency distribution differs from a theoretical distribution. tests of independence. it assesses whether paired observations on two variables are independent of each other. For example, whether people from different regions differ in the frequency with which they report that they support a political candidate. If the chi-square probability is less or equal to 0.05 then we say that both distributions are equal (goodness-of-fit) or that the row variable is unrelated (that is, only randomly related) to the column variable (test of independence). Chi-Square Distribution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-square_distribution Chi-Square Distribution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-square_distribution (Pearson's ) Chi-Square test The chi-square test, in general, can be used to check whether an empirical distribution follows a specific theoretical distribution. Chi-square is calculated by finding the difference between each observed (O) and theoretical or expected (E) frequency for each possible outcome, squaring them, dividing each by the theoretical frequency, and taking the sum of the results. For n data outcomes (observations), the chi-square statistic is defined as: c n21 n i 1 Oi E i 2 Ei Oi = an observed frequency for a given outcome; Ei = an expected (theoretical) frequency for a given outcome; n = the number of possible outcomes of each event; (Pearson's ) Chi-Square test A chi-square probability of 0.05 or less is the criteria to accept or reject the test of difference between the empirical and theoretical distributions. Chi-Square test: General Algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-chi-square_distribution We say that the observed distribution (empirical) fits well the expected distribution (theoretical) if: c 02 ca2*,k 1c which means p c 02 ca2*, k 1c 1 a where 2* ccritical ca2*,k 1c idfChiSquare k 1 c , a • (k – 1 – c) is the degree of freedom, where k is the number of possible outcome and c is the number of estimated parameters. 1-a is the confidence level (basically, we use a = 0.05) Chi-Square test: Example Uniform distribution in [0 .. 9] PASS (KS-Test) Kolmogorov – Smirnov Test for Continuous Models In statistics, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (K–S test) quantifies a distance between the empirical distribution function of the sample and the cumulative distribution function of the expected distribution, or between the empirical distribution functions of two samples. It can be used for both continuous and discrete models Basic idea: compute the maximum distance between two cumulative distribution functions and compare it to critical value. If the maximum distance is smaller than the critical value, the first distribution fits the second distribution If the maximum distance is greater than the critical value, the first distribution does not fit the second distribution Kolmogorov – Smirnov test In statistics, the Kolmogorov – Smirnov test is used to determine whether two one-dimensional probability distributions differ, or whether an probability distribution differs from a hypothesized distribution, in either case based on finite samples. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic measures the largest vertical distance between an empirical cdf calculated from a data set and a theoretical cdf. The one-sample KS-test compares the empirical distribution function with a cumulative distribution function. The main applications are testing goodness-of-fit with the normal and uniform distributions. Kolmogorov–Smirnov Statistic Let X1, X2, …, Xn be iid random variables in with the CDF equal to F(x). The empirical distribution function Fn(x) based on sample X1, X2, …, Xn is a step function defined by: number of element in the sample x Fn x n The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic for a given function F(x) is D n sup Fn x F x x Kolmogorov–Smirnov Statistic The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic for a given function F(x) is D n sup Fn x F x x Facts By the Glivenko-Cantelli theorem, if the sample comes from a distribution F(x), then Dn converges to 0 almost surely. In other words, If X1, X2, …, Xn really come from the distribution with CDF F(X), the distance Dn should be small Example Dmax Example: Grade Distribution? We would like to know the distribution of the Grades of students. First, determine the empirical distribution Second, compare to Normal and Poisson distributions Data Sample: 50 Grades in a course and computed the empirical distribution Mean = 63 Standard Deviation = 15 Example: Grade Distribution? D n sup Fn x F x x Frequency X grade = Number of grades X grade Empirical Distribution = F X grade =p X X grade = Frequency X grade Sample Size Example: Grade Distribution? Dmax,Poisson= 0.153 Dmax,Normal= 0.119 D n sup Fn x F x x Kolmogorov–Smirnov Acceptance Criteria Rejection Criteria: We consider that the two distributions are not equal if the empirical CDF is too far from the theoritical CDF of the proposed distribution This means: We reject if Dn is too large. But the question is: What does large mean? For which values of Dn should we accept the distribution? Kolmogorov–Smirnov test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov-Smirnov_test In the 1930’s, Kolmogorov and Smirnov showed that 2 2 lim P n n Dn t 1- 2 (-1)i -1 e -2i t i 1 So, for large sample sizes, you could assume P n D n t 1- 2 (-1)i -1 e -2i 2 t2 i 1 2 (-1)i -1 e -2i alevel test: find the value of at such t a i 1 .

This function is a linear combination of one or more model parameters, called regression coefficients. A linear regression equation with one independent variable represents a straight line. The results are subject to statistical analysis. The Method of Least Squares The equation of the best-fitting line is calculated using a set of n pairs (xi, yi). We choose our estimates a and b to estimate a and b so that the vertical distances of the points from the line, are minimized.

In general statistical usage, correlation or co-relation refers to the departure of two variables from independence. In this broad sense there are several coefficients, measuring the degree of correlation, adapted to the nature of the data. Correlation Analysis • The strength of the relationship between x and y is measured using the coefficient of correlation: Correlation coefficient : r S xy S xx S yy • • The sign of r indicates the direction of the relationship; • r near 0 indicates no linear relationship, • r near 1 or -1 indicates a strong linear relationship. A test of the significance of the correlation coefficient is identical to the test of the slope b.
