Two main statistical methods are used in data analysis: #Descriptive statistics, which summarize data from a sample using indexes such as the mean or standard deviation, and #Inferential statistics, which draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation (e.g., observational errors, sampling variation).

3) #Inferential statistics
In inductive statistics, we infer from the #sample to the entire #population, e.g. by #hypothesis testing and #regression analysis. Here, a good sample is of course very important!

#DYK that preverbal #infants may possess a core set of #logical operations that empower them with sophisticated #inferential abilities?
🧠A 🆕 study from @ceu has demonstrated how #rational thought begins in preverbal infants.
