Advanced statistical methods — Bayesian inference with PyMC/MCMC, mixed-effects models, resampling (bootstrap, permutation), spatial statistics, and missing data handling. Use when standard frequentist tests are insufficient or you need full uncertainty quantification.

Advanced Statistics
Overview
This skill extends the basic statistical-analysis skill with advanced methods for complex data structures: hierarchical/multilevel data, Bayesian inference, resampling-based inference, spatial data, and missing data. Use the basic skill first for standard hypothesis tests.
When to Use This Skill
- Data has hierarchical or nested structure (students in schools, repeated measures per subject)
- You want a full posterior distribution, not just a point estimate and p-value
- Small sample sizes where asymptotic normality doesn't hold
- Data has spatial autocorrelation
- Substantial missing data that cannot be ignored
1. Bayesian Inference with PyMC
When to Use Bayesian Analysis
- Small n (< 30 per group) where priors help regularize
- You have genuine prior knowledge about parameter ranges
- You need full uncertainty quantification (not just confidence intervals)
- Hierarchical / multilevel models are needed
Credible Intervals vs. Confidence Intervals
- Credible interval (Bayesian): "There is 95% probability the parameter lies in this range" — direct probability statement about the parameter
- Confidence interval (frequentist): "If we repeated this experiment many times, 95% of such intervals would contain the true parameter" — NOT a probability statement about this specific interval
Prior Predictive Checks
2. Mixed-Effects (Multilevel) Models
When to Use
- Repeated measures per subject (multiple observations per patient, student, etc.)
- Nested data (students in classes in schools)
- Longitudinal data with individual trajectories
Hausman Test (FE vs RE choice for panel data)
3. Resampling Methods
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
Permutation Tests
4. Dimensionality Reduction (Statistical Perspective)
5. Missing Data
Decision guide:
| Mechanism | What it means | Appropriate action | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCAR (missing completely at random) | Probability of missing is unrelated to any data | Complete case analysis is valid (but loses power) | |
| MAR (missing at random) | Probability of missing depends on observed data only | Multiple imputation or FIML | |
| MNAR (missing not at random) | Probability of missing depends on the missing value itself | Sensitivity analysis; selection models |
6. Spatial Statistics
