Frequentist inference is a type of statistical inference based in frequentist probability, which treats “probability” in equivalent terms to “frequency”...

Bayesian inference (/ˈbeɪziən/ BAY-zee-ən or /ˈbeɪʒən/ BAY-zhən) is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to calculate a probability...

A statistical hypothesis test is a method of statistical inference used to decide whether the data provide sufficient evidence to reject a particular hypothesis...

causal inference is to formulate a falsifiable null hypothesis, which is subsequently tested with statistical methods. Frequentist statistical inference is...

Fiducial inference is one of a number of different types of statistical inference. These are rules, intended for general application, by which conclusions...

two approaches to statistical inference: model-based inference and design-based inference. Both approaches rely on some statistical model to represent...

learning theory deals with the statistical inference problem of finding a predictive function based on data. Statistical learning theory has led to successful...

generally, statistical models are part of the foundation of statistical inference. A statistical model is usually specified as a mathematical relationship...
