Abstract

Abstract : Statistical inference allows researchers to learn things about a population using only a sample of data from that population. But if it isn't a random sample, inference becomes tricky or outright impossible, as Norbert Hirschauer, Sven Grüner, Oliver Mußhoff, Claudia Becker and Antje Jantsch explain Abstract : Statistical inference allows researchers to learn things about a population using only a sample of data from that population.
