The population is unobserved. We draw samples and make inferences based on the samples. Each sample has a sample regression function (SRF).

  • Thank you. I have actually been learning more from stats videos here on youtube than from my stats class and textbook.

  • @davidag888 Thank you, I love to hear that!

  • Good graphics and good explanations. It could be more carefully scripted as the video is at odds with its own definitions in a few places. For example, at 4:01 " ... sample regression function with its own parameters and ..." should be "... with its own parameter estimates." Given that the video explicitly introduces the population parameter / sample statistic distinction, the terms should be used consistently.

  • @cumberland67 - yes, agreed, thank you for your precision in regard to "estimates" - David

  • no, OLS does not require slicing the dots in half, that is incorrect. Sum of least squares.

  • God bless this man for this video and his effort. Some people do care about education and science.

  • Looks like I'm not the only one looking up stats vids the day before the final lol...obviously an awesome idea to upload these, they're way more captivating than my textbook. Cheers

  • really great explanation....

  • Great video! I just want to point out that the United States Census most certainly *does* count the *entire* population. It is not a sample, except in the sense that it misses a couple percent of people who are homeless. Every single man, woman, and child, legal and illegal, is counted by the Census.

  • Great!

  • Sad that my Statistic's final is tomorrow, these videos would of came in handy if I only found them a weak earlier!

  • Apparently, the Venn diagram represents is an example of the Platonic realm of the Forms. We should consult the demiurge for the answers to the parameters.

  • thank you for showing us the power of knowledge!! your vid might save my job,thank you so so much

  • i am so annoyed i only found this on the morning of my econometrics exam. Thanks for the vid man
