Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding free practice problems for a second-year engineering statistics course, covering topics such as distributions, likelihood, hypothesis testing, and basic regression. Participants also share their experiences and seek additional resources or problems to enhance their understanding.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a need for free practice problems due to financial constraints and mentions specific topics covered in their course.
  • Another participant suggests that searching online can yield results and encourages sharing favorite statistics problems.
  • A different participant humorously recommends finding Papoulis' book, implying it may be challenging but beneficial.
  • Another post introduces a request for help in building a trading decision framework using statistical measures, asking for enumeration of concepts and approaches related to price oscillators.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on specific resources for practice problems, and multiple suggestions and requests for assistance are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

Some posts indicate a lack of foundational knowledge in statistics, which may affect the ability to engage with more complex problems or concepts. The discussion includes varying levels of familiarity with statistical measures and tools.

Who May Find This Useful

Students in engineering statistics courses, individuals seeking practice problems, and those interested in applying statistical concepts to trading or decision-making frameworks.

out of me being too poor/cheap to buy my stats txt book, I'm running out of problems to do while studying for exams.
anybody know of any good websites that may have some practice problems for a second year engineering stats course. we just covered the basics. distributions, likelihood, hypothosis testing, basic regression.
Or if you just want to share your favourite stats problem :-p that'd be great too!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hmm seemed to have found some on my own...google is your friend!
still. any favourite problems people have. i'd be glad to hear 'em :)
 
Try to find Papoulis' book in a library or something. Headaches guaranteed!
 
hi, Having forgotten basic Statistics, I am not finding time to brush up basic concepts to put them to a compelling use. Actual I need to build a short-term or Intra-day trading "decision framework" for a set of Stocks based on statistical measure concepts, I can provide you with the historical intra-day numbers for a year or so and need to derive "decision values" based on a Statistical knowledge base. Can you help me with this, it will be simple and straight forward, to start with I will need an enumeration of Statistical measure "concepts" that could be used to build the model using Spread sheets- BTW,are you proficient in Spread sheets ? I will also need some approaches using which "price oscillators" can be defined for a small set of stocks and use this in the decision making framework. I hope you can comprehend me? As regards your need for Reference, I suppose this should suffice : http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/
