A case in point is the c entral limit theorem\, which has been used to justify all kinds of statist ical approaches even when it doesn't actually work with the sample sizes s een in practice. And statisticians have thought too little about what 'wor k' means. There are hidden assumptions in the CLT that students often do n ot appreciate. This is related to the nonexistence of nonparametric confid ence intervals for population means. Another example is the common practic e of testing data for normality\, then choosing a parametric test vs. a no nparametric test. This practice involves multiple misunderstandings. The p ermutation t-test is another example that will be covered.\n DTSTART:20180917T190000Z DTEND:20180917T200000Z LOCATION:Room 208/09 2nd floor\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Mont real\, H3G 1Y6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:Frank E.
