Inference for Categorical Data in R

In this chapter you will learn how to perform statistical inference on a single parameter that describes categorical data. This includes both resampling based methods and approximation based methods for a single proportion.

This chapter dives deeper into performing hypothesis tests and creating confidence intervals for a single parameter. Then, you'll learn how to perform inference on a difference between two proportions. Finally, this chapter wraps up with an exploration of what happens when you know the null hypothesis is true.

This part of the course will teach you how to use both resampling methods and classical methods to test for the indepence of two categorical variables. This chapter covers how to perform a Chi-squared test.

The course wraps up with two case studies using election data. Here, you'll learn how to use a Chi-squared test to check goodness-of-fit. You'll study election results from Iran and Iowa and test if Benford's law applies to these datasets.
