Bootstrapping – Theory and Practice with R

Fri, September 25, 2020 10:30 AM - Fri, September 25, 2020 12:00 PM at Zoom

Is bootstrapping magic? Can you really generate a sampling distribution for nearly any statistical property by thrashing your data with a golf club? How might that be useful? Bootstrapping is a conceptually simple idea for using sampling with replacement to characterize the mean, variance, skew, you name it, for statistics involving your data. In this short workshop I will introduce the basic theory behind bootstrapping and show how to use it in R. Golf club not included, but everything else is.

 

Participants should have some formal training in statistics – if you have applied regression analysis, you should be set on theory for this workshop. In addition you should have some background using R for basic data analysis and be comfortable running scripts and portions of scripts in an R environment such as R-Studio. This is an intermediate level workshop.  RSVP by September 24, 2020 (Thursday).
