Let’s create a dataset and explore its statistical properties.
# Generate a synthetic dataset
n_samples = 1000
# Create correlated variables
np.random.seed(42)
education_years = np.random.normal(12, 3, n_samples)
education_years = np.clip(education_years, 6, 20) # Clip to realistic range
# Experience correlated with education
experience = np.random.normal(education_years * 0.8, 5, n_samples)
experience = np.clip(experience, 0, 40)
# Salary based on education and experience with some noise
salary = 30000 + 5000 * education_years + 3000 * experience + np.random.normal(0, 15000, n_samples)
salary = np.clip(salary, 20000, 200000)
# Age based on education and experience
age = education_years + experience + np.random.normal(18, 3, n_samples)
age = np.clip(age, 22, 65)
# Create categorical variables
departments = ['Engineering', 'Sales', 'Marketing', 'HR', 'Finance']
department = np.random.choice(departments, n_samples, p=[0.3, 0.25, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1])
gender = np.random.choice(['Male', 'Female', 'Other'], n_samples, p=[0.48, 0.48, 0.04])
# Performance rating (1-5)
performance = np.random.choice([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], n_samples, p=[0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.3, 0.15])
# Create DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({
'employee_id': range(1, n_samples + 1),
'age': age,
'education_years': education_years,
'experience': experience,
'salary': salary,
'department': department,

4. Hypothesis Testing
Let’s perform various hypothesis tests to examine relationships in our data.
4.1 Independent Samples T-Test
Testing if there’s a significant difference in salaries between genders.
Null Hypothesis (H₀): μ_male = μ_female (no difference in mean salaries) Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): μ_male ≠ μ_female (there is a difference)
# Filter out 'Other' gender for clearer comparison
male_salaries = df[df['gender'] == 'Male']['salary']

simple_model.fit(X_simple, y)
# Make predictions
y_pred_simple = simple_model.predict(X_simple)
# Calculate metrics
mse_simple = mean_squared_error(y, y_pred_simple)
r2_simple = r2_score(y, y_pred_simple)
print("=== SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION ===")
print(f"Intercept: ${simple_model.intercept_:,.2f}")

Let’s explore some basic Bayesian concepts using a simple example.
7.1 Bayesian Inference Example
Estimating the probability of success in a binomial experiment using Bayesian inference.
Prior: Beta(1, 1) - uniform prior Likelihood: Binomial Posterior: Beta(α + successes, β + failures)
# Bayesian inference example
from scipy.stats import beta
# Parameters
n_trials = 100
observed_successes = 65
observed_failures = n_trials - observed_successes
# Prior parameters (Beta distribution)
alpha_prior = 1
beta_prior = 1
# Posterior parameters
alpha_post = alpha_prior + observed_successes
beta_post = beta_prior + observed_failures
print("=== BAYESIAN INFERENCE EXAMPLE ===")
print(f"Observed successes: {observed_successes}/{n_trials}")
print(f"Prior: Beta({alpha_prior}, {beta_prior})")
print(f"Posterior: Beta({alpha_post}, {beta_post})")
# Calculate posterior statistics
posterior_mean = alpha_post / (alpha_post + beta_post)
posterior_mode = (alpha_post - 1) / (alpha_post + beta_post - 2) if alpha_post > 1 else 0
posterior_var = (alpha_post * beta_post) / ((alpha_post + beta_post)**2 * (alpha_post + beta_post + 1))
print(f"\nPosterior Statistics:")
print(f"Mean: {posterior_mean:.3f}")

# Compare with frequentist approach
