Abstract: This note introduces the concept of probability and probability distribution which is the backbone of statistical inference theory. Definition of probability, joint, marginal, and conditional probability distributions are provided and properties of probability distributions are outlined. Various sampling distributions which are used by econometricians are discussed in brief. ... More

Abstract: This note discusses "direct" and "indirect" employment effects of agro-related industries i.e. food-processing, agro-based other than food-processing, and agri-input industries. It often deals with the relative importance and "direct" employment intensity (i.e. employment per Rs. 1 lakh of capital) for these types of industries vis-a-vis other manufacturing industries based ...

Abstract: Sampling distribution is a very important technique that helps us to quantify the “precision” of a statistical inferential procedure by analyzing the distribution (hence variability) of sample summaries about the corresponding population parameter. In this module, we will discuss the sampling distribution of the sample mean and proportion in detail. ... More

Abstract: The note underlines the utility of industrial market potential index. Starting from a simple model, a procedure for developing an index of industrial market potential is finally arrived at. Development of the index would require selection of production statistics, and input and output coefficients. For some products the index has ... More

Abstract: In this module, we will discuss the procedure of testing statistical hypotheses which is an important arm of statistical inference. This procedure revolves around the specification of two hypotheses (each a statement about the parameter) and them selecting one of those based on some well defined statistical technique. In doing ... More

Abstract: The case describes preliminary analysis done on the data collected in Phase II of the research described in Case (A) (MAR0276(A)). It can be used for understanding and evaluating the preliminary data analysis. Use of some non parametric statistical techniques could be demonstrated for making inferences about different segments ... More
