New Page: Introduction to Statistical Inference & Induction
Stats4PT - Lesson One
I’m excited to share the next step in our Stats4PT journey: the Introduction to Statistical Inference page is now live!
This page is packed with insights into the foundational concepts of statistical inference, covering everything from confidence intervals to the role of inductive reasoning in clinical decision-making. If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge the gap between research evidence and real-world patient care—or wanted to explore the nuances of sampling, variability, and hypothesis testing—this is the page for you!

Why This Page Matters
Statistical inference lies at the heart of understanding evidence-based practice. Whether you're analyzing research, teaching the next generation of clinicians, or making day-to-day clinical decisions, these tools are essential for interpreting data and navigating uncertainty. They are essential not just to understand research, these tools are valuable in your experiential reflections as you attempt to learn and grow in your practice expertise.
On this page, you’ll find:
A hands-on dice exercise to explore sampling distributions and variability.
Practical explanations of confidence intervals and their connection to hypothesis testing.
A critical realist perspective on linking evidence to underlying mechanisms and structures.
Reminder: The Stats4PT Home Page
Don’t forget, all the pages in this series are organized and accessible from the Stats4PT Home Page—your central hub for learning about statistics through a clinical lens. If you haven’t already, bookmark it for easy access to all the content as we release it.
