What are the Axioms of Probability correct answers 1. Probability between 0 and 1 2. Adds up to 1 3. Sum of Independent events by adding them What is the Sample Subspace correct answers Set out Outcomes What is an Event correct answers Subset of the sample space What is the Conditional Probability correct answers What is the Sum Rule correct answers P(A) = Sum P(A, B) What is Bayes Rule correct answers What is a Random Variable correct answers Function from sample space to ...

P value correct answers the true probability that the test statistic would be as far from expected as it is IF the null hypothesis is true Induction or falsification? correct answers Falsification - induction is logically invalid - science must proceed by eliminating false ideas Hypothesis testing: confidence interval correct answers - it is not true that there is a 95% chance that the parameter is in the 95% confidence interval - there is a 95% probability that if you collect another s...

Bayesian Metaphor Correct Answer -Three approaches or metaphors for human cognition - Information processing metaphor - Connectionist Metaphor - Bayesian Metaphor Information processing metaphor Correct Answer -the mind as a serial computer,with memory stores, buffers, executive control, ... Connectionist Metaphor: Correct Answer -the mind as a brain,with parallel distributed processing Bayesian Metaphor Correct Answer -the mind as doing statistical inference Statistics Correct A...

Probability in Bayesian terms (as opposed to classical) correct answers How confident you are that a hypothesis is true Time in Bayesian vs. Classical correct answers Generally you cannot update classical models as time goes on, you can with Bayesian Product Rule correct answers P(A, B) = P(A) * P(B|A) *** Only if A and B are independent Sum Rule correct answers P(A) = P(B) * P(A|B) + P(nB)*P(A|nB) (nB is not B) OR P(A) = Σ P(Bi) * P(A|Bi) Bayes' Rule correct answers P(...

Prior Distribution correct answers

Define thinking correct answers the flexible organisation and manipulation of internal representations helps us to understand the world processes of thinking correct answers physical stimuli - sensory representation - semantic representation - desired goal - plan how are representations formed? correct answers depends rationalism (through a priori knowledge) vs empiricism (through sensory system) constructivists (apriori) vs sensory driven (empiricists) what is perception corre...

My summary got me a 9.0 on the SSR exam, as part of the Brain and Cognition Specialization. By studying with my notes, you won't need to buy or consult the book. I include screenshots from the book and step by step guides on how to ANALYZE and INTEPRET data from SPSS. I also give detailed background information on any analysis, filled with examples to make learning fun, interesting, and effective. The price reflects the hours and effort I have invested into creating this high-quality docume...

in general, the goal of statistics is to correct answers make an inference using observed data,x to make an inference, the data is assumed to have originated from a probability model _________ and our inference is usually expressed in terms of an unobservable parameter ____ of the distribution ___ correct answers f(x|θ) θ f The Frequentist approach to statistics adopts the view that correct answers only the data, x, is random The fundamental principle of Bayesian statistics: everythin...

Bayes' rule correct answers Given some observed data x, the posterior probability that the parameter Θ has the value θ is p(θ|x) = p(x|θ)p(θ)/p(x), where p(x|θ) is the likelihood, p(θ) is the prior probability of the value θ, and p(x) is the marginal probability of the value x. conditional probability correct answers The probability that the value of one random variable Θ has the value θ given that the value of another random variable X has the value x; written as p(Θ=θ|X=x) or p...

Bayes' Rule correct answers P(Ai | B) = P(Ai) * P(B | Ai) / Σ P(Aj) * P(B | Aj) Sample Space correct answers The collection of all possible outcomes for an experiment. Event correct answers A collection of outcomes for the experiment, that is, any subset of the sample space. not A correct answers The event A does not occur. A and B correct answers The event both A and B occur. A or B correct answers The event either A or B both occur. Complementation Rule correct answers P(E)...
