		Statistics is the science and practice of developing human knowledge through the use of empirical data.
		It is based on statistical theory which is a branch of applied mathematics.
		The word statistics comes from the modern Latin phrase statisticum collegium (lecture about state affairs), from which came the Italian word statista, which means "statesman" or "politician" (compare to status) and the German Statistik, originally designating the analysis of data about the state.

	The need for a statistical theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Since it is not possible to develop a deterministic theory of turbulence, one wishes to develop a statistical theory based on the average properties of turbulence.
		Most statistical theories of physics are based on the tacit assumption that the different possible averaging procedures are probably ultimately equivalent.
		The goal of the statistical theory of turbulence is to determine such correlation functions in a particular situation.

	Inferring From Data
		Statistical inference is refer to extending your knowledge obtain from a random sample from a population to the whole population.
		In a statistical hypothesis test, the P value is the probability of observing a test statistic at least as extreme as the value actually observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
		The statistical bootstrap, which uses resampling from a given set of data to mimic the variability that produced the data in the first place, has a rather more dependable theoretical basis and can be a highly effective procedure for estimation of error quantities in statistical problems.

		The transition states, similar to those occurring in chemical reaction dynamics, are then used to develop a statistical semi-analytical theory for the rate of escape of asteroids temporarily captured by Mars.
		Theory and numerical simulations are found to agree to better than 1%.
		These calculations suggest that further development of transition state theory in celestial mechanics, as an alternative to large-scale numerical simulations, will be a fruitful approach to mass transport calculations.

	Statistical Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This theory continues to serve as the backbone of general statistical inference across nearly all areas of science.
		Quasi-likelihood methods for modeling the variance-covariance matrix and allowing empirical estimates of sampling variances (Wedderburn 1974) have been developed and are particularly important in product-multinomial models.
		This theory, including Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) is a substantial advance to the general likelihood theory.

		This book is devoted to the statistical theory of learning and generalization, that is, the problem of choosing the desired function on the basis of empirical data.
		Along with a brief introduction, the book consists of three parts, the first being an overview of the statistical theory of learning, the second giving the details of the now widely used support vector machines, and the last one (the most sophisticated mathematically) giving the statistical foundations of learning theory.
		Both of these problems were discovered to be essentially the same, and the author?s task is to use their similarities to construct a general theory of statistical inference and (inductive) learning.

	Control Theory & Statistical Physics
		We have been synthesizing ideas and methods from statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and control theory in order to provide a suitable framework from which to quantitatively better understand complex systems.
		Within statistical mechanics, thermodynamic quantities are effectively interpreted as ensemble averages of observables and the underlying dynamics never explicitly enter into the picture.
		However, within control theory, this paradigm may be simply understood as falling out of an approximation theory.

	Journal of Parapsychology, The: An Acceptance-Rejection Theory Of Statistical Psychokinesis
		The theory attributes the agent with an ability to accept or reject the immanent outcome of a random frail: if the immanent outcome is deemed unfavorable, the agent is attributed with the ability to "choose again" from the same distribution.
		This "acceptance-rejection" theory of Pit gives rise to a mathematical specification of the trial level influence that is identical to that of a classical model due to Schmidt.
		The modern view of PK is that it is an essentially statistical phenomenon, that determinism precludes, and randomicity favors, PK.

	Statistical Theory
		The primary statistical procedures to be employed in the modelling program are Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the t-test.
		These methods of data analysis have been studied and refined by theoretical and applied statisticians for decades and have been shown to be robust in the face of problems associated with water quality variables (for example, non-normality of population distribution and inequality of sample variances; Montgomery and Loftis, 1987).
		Any parametric statistical procedure will be highly sensitive to spatial and temporal autocorrelation, however.

		Statistics is a science of making decisions with respect to the characteristics of a group of persons or objects on the basis of numerical information obtained from a randomly selected sample of the group.
		Statistical inference refers to extending your knowledge obtained from a random sample from the entire population to the whole population.
		Almost all standard statistical analyses are conditioned on the assumption that the population is homogeneous, meaning that its density (for continuous random variables) or probability mass function (for discrete random variables) is unimodal.

		In the second half of the course, on nonparametric statistical theory, we do not assume that the underlying population is of a pre-specified parametric form, and consider such problems as estimating a distribution function, a quantile, or a density function from a sample.
		Measure theory is certainly not necessary, but would be a small bonus.
