| Description | In this chapter we start a more general discussion of statistical inference. So far we have only been thinking about inference for the mean based on a large sample. But what if we are not interested in the mean but another parameter? Or what if we don't have a large sample? Throughout Chapter 4 we assumed that the sample mean is a good estimator for the population mean. But what do we mean by “estimator” and why is X ¯ a “good” estimator for E(X)? All these questions will be answered in later chapters. Here we will think further about the basic building block for statistical inference: the statistical model.
