Linear model

Abstract

Fundamental to observing phenomena, hypothesizing explanations, and arguing their differential credibility is the recognition and quantification of distinctions. Are things different? If so, how different are they? The question, Can we distinguish by their weight the two groups of fish caught on different dry flies?, is an example. We have discussed several test statistics relevant to this question. Now we will examine an approach used by classical statistics to address the same basic question. This approach to hypothesis formation is widely used in the published literature of every natural science, and is not uncommon in the more quantitative publications of social science as well. It will be important for you to understand it, and possibly even use it, in your own work.
