This file as well as the associated Quarto reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/is5. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. We begin by loading packages that will be required for our analyses. ```{r} library(mosaic) library(tidyverse) ``` ## Chapter 16: More About Tests and Intervals ### Section 16.1: Interpreting P-Values #### What to Do with a Low P-Value #### What to Do with a High P-Value No need for tables: we can calculate everything in R! ```{r} #| fig.width: 7 # curve on page 511 xqnorm(p = .467, mean = 0, sd = 1, verbose = FALSE) ``` ### Section 16.2: Alpha Levels and Critical Values ```{r} #| fig.width: 7 # Figure 16.1, page 513 xpnorm(q = c(-1.96, 1.96), mean = 0, sd = 1, verbose = FALSE) ``` ### Section 16.3: Practical vs. Statistical Significance ### Section 16.4: Errors #### Power #### Effect Size #### A Picture Worth $\frac{1}{P(z > 3.09)}$ Words When in doubt, draw a picture! ```{r} #| fig.width: 7 #| fig.heigh: 4 #| warning: false # Figure 16.2, page 520 gf_dist("norm", mean = 0, sd = 1, fill = ~ cut(x, c(-Inf, 2, 100, Inf)), geom = "area", alpha = .5 ) |> gf_dist("norm", mean = 4, sd = 1, fill = ~ cut(x, c(-Inf, -100, 2, Inf)), geom = "area", alpha = .5 ) |> gf_labs(x = "p", y = "") |> gf_vline(xintercept = 2) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = .75, y = .42, label = "Fail to Reject H0")) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = 2.95, y = .42, label = "Reject H0")) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = 0, y = .15, size = 3, label = "Suppose H0 is true")) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = 1.35, y = .01, size = 2.5, label = "Type 2 Error")) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = 2.6, y = .01, size = 2.5, label = "Type 1 Error")) |> gf_refine(annotate(geom = "text", x = 4, y = .15, size = 3, label = "Suppose H0 is not true")) + guides(fill = FALSE) # To remove the legend ```
