It seems clear that both age and gender have an e ect on someone’s survival, how do we come up with a model that will let us explore this relationship? Even if we set Died to 0 and Survived to 1, this isn’t something we can transform our way out of - we need something more. One way to think about the problem - we can treat Survived and Died as

Multiple Hypothesis Testing: The F-test

test, say, the hypothesis that some variable has no effect on the dependent variable. All we do is calculate a t-statistic for this null hypothesis and our data and see if that test statistic is unlikely under the null distribution (the Student’s t-distribution). Unfortunately, when we have more complicated hypotheses, this test no longer works.

We will fail to reject the null (commit a Type II error) if we get a Z statistic greater than -1.64. 3. This -1.64 Z-critical value corresponds to some X critical value (Xcritical), such that 30 ( 1.64) | 0.95 ...
