%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Questions %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{questions}
\question {\bf Reading assignment: Do not submit answers to this
question! }
Read chapter 1. up to 2.4 (including) of Samuels/Wittmer/Schaffner.
Pay special attention to the following questions.
\begin{enumerate}
\item What types of scientific evidence do the authors list? How
strong are these evidences?
\item What are the different types of data encountered in
statistical analysis?
\item What is a population? What is a random sample? What are
sampling errors? What are nonsampling errors?
\item What is a descriptive statistic?
\item What property do robust statistics have?
\end{enumerate}
\question Install python and a suitable editor on your computer.
\begin{parts}
\part For installing python, I recommend the anaconda
distribution: \url{http://continuum.io/downloads}. It does not
matter whether you install python 2.7 or 3.4. I will use python
3.4 syntax.
\part As editor I recommend either sublime text (for people new to
programming) or pycharm (for people with programming
experience). I do not recommend to use a text editor that comes
with your operating system (like word pad). Text processing
programs like Mircosoft Word or Libre-Office {\bf won't work at
all}. Programming needs a little more than just typing text and
you will make your life unnecessarily hard by using an editor not
suited for it.
\part Find out how to run a python program on your operating
system and how to install new python packages. Install the
packages {\tt pandas} and {\tt seaborn}.
\end{parts}
\question To publish scientific results, you will usually need
to use statistical methods. Some journals provide you with a brief
description of how they expect you to apply statistical methods. One
example can be found in the author guidelines of the journal
Nature
\begin{center}
\url{http://www.nature.com/neuro/pdf/sm_checklist.pdf}
\end{center}
Please read the ‘checklist’ and answer the following questions:
\begin{parts}
\part[2] Why is it important that statistical methods are applied
correctly?
\begin{solution}
When not applied correctly, the results of statistical methods
might not support your hypothesis and can lead to false
conclusions.
\end{solution}
\part[2] Name two common descriptive statistics and what you have
to specify for them in nature.
\begin{solution}
\begin{itemize}
\item A clearly defined number $n$ of data points should be
specified. If the sample is small, plot points instead of
using descriptive statistics. Errorbars should be clearly
defined.
\item measure of center: mean, median
\item measure of variability: standard deviation, range
\end{itemize}
\end{solution}
\part[3] Name one statistical test that you have heard of or
used. If you were to apply any of them, what would you have to
specify to follow the Nature guidelines?
\begin{solution}
{\bf Student's T-Test} for testing whether the mean of two
populations is the same
\begin{itemize}
\item a clearly defined $n$ for the test
\item a justification for the sample size used
\item a clear description of the statistical method: since the
t-test is very common, stating that a two independent sample
t-test was used should be sufficient.
\item Justify that the data meets the definition: the two
populations should be normally distributed with the same
variance; the data was sampled independently from the two
populations being compared.
\item Is the variance in the different groups different.
\item was it one-sided or two-sided
\end{itemize}
\end{solution}
\part[3] Why are you asked to justify each incidence in which
you exclude some of the data that you collected? What could be a
valid reason to exclude a data point?
\begin{solution}
Excluded data points might make a sample from a population not
representative anymore, and can therefore alter the outcome and
conclusions of a study. They might be excluded if there is a
good reason to believe that they are not part of the population
under investigation.
\end{solution}
\end{parts}
\question {\bf Robust statistics} In 1888, P. Topinard published
data on the brain weights of hundreds of French men and women. Here
are ten brain weights (in Gramm) of female brains from the dataset
\begin{center} [1125, 1027, 1112, 983, 1090, 1247, 1045, 983, 972, 1045]
\end{center}
Open a new file ``brain\_weight.py'' with you text editor to write
the following python program (please hand in the plots and the program).
\begin{parts}
\part[2] Create a list that contains the above brain weights.
\part[2] Create a new list that contains the following ten means:
Each mean is computed from the original list after removing one
element (hint use slicing and adding lists for that; we did this
in the lecture already). {\bf Warning:} I {\em do not} expect you
to use {\tt for}-loops. Only use them if you know them already. If
you do use them, be prepared to explain your code to me to get
credits for this task.
\part[2] Create yet another list that does the same, only for the
median.
\part[2] Make a boxplot with the different means and medias (like
in the lecture). To show the plot at the end of the program
you need to put a {\tt plt.show()} at the end of the program. If
you want to save the plot, put the command {\tt
plt.gcf().savefig('YOUR\_NAME\_homework01.pdf')} before that. Label
the y-axis by using the function {\tt plt.ylabel('FILL IN YOUR LABEL')}
\part[2] What can you observe and what does that tell you about
the robustness of the statistic?
\end{parts}
\begin{solution}
\begin{verbatim}
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np
sns.set_context("paper", font_scale=1.5, rc={"lines.linewidth": 2.5})
w = [1125, 1027, 1112, 983, 1090, 1247, 1045, 983, 972, 1045]
brain_means = [ np.mean(w[1:]), np.mean(w[:1] + w[2:]), np.mean(w[:2] + w[3:]), \
np.mean(w[:3] + w[4:]), np.mean(w[:4] + w[5:]), np.mean(w[:5] + w[6:]), \
np.mean(w[:6] + w[7:]), np.mean(w[:7] + w[8:]), np.mean(w[:8] + w[9:]),\
np.mean(w[:9]) ]
brain_medians = [ np.median(w[1:]), np.median(w[:1] + w[2:]), np.median(w[:2] + w[3:]), \
np.median(w[:3] + w[4:]), np.median(w[:4] + w[5:]), np.median(w[:5] + w[6:]), \
np.median(w[:6] + w[7:]), np.median(w[:7] + w[8:]), np.median(w[:8] + w[9:]),\
np.median(w[:9]) ]
sns.boxplot([brain_means, brain_medians], names=['means', 'medians'])
plt.ylabel('brain weight [g]')
plt.gcf().savefig('fabian_sinz_homework01.pdf')
plt.show()
\end{verbatim}
\end{solution}
