Sampling Distribution

#theory #math #statistics #distributions #sampling #normaldistribution

  • It is the distribution of sample statistic like mean for example
    • Sample 5 numbers from data and calculate the mean is an example of sample statistic
    • Sample 20 numbers from data and calculate the mean is another example
    • Make it multiple times and, you have the sampling distribution
  • It is bell-shaped
    • This phenomenon is called [[lh9b-central-limit-theorem]]
  • Variability error on the sampling distribution: SE=$\frac{S}{\sqrt{n}}$
    • To compute SE can be expensive, for that, we use [[s6vc-bootstrapping]]#
      • Bigger samples give less SE
      • It is different from standard deviation
