For the inferential statistics to be accurate it is important to make sure that your sample is representative of the population to which it is being generalized. Inferential statistics, on the other hand, allows us to take the data collected from a sample and generalize it to the population from which that sample came. What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics?ĭescriptive statistics can be used only to describe the data collected from a sample. One prediction would be ‘Children aged 11 will be able to solve more difficult logical problems than children aged 6 (or any age younger than 11 really)’. Piaget suggested that children develop logical thinking skills as they grow older. One prediction would be ‘There will be a difference between the number of words remembered by people who read a list of words and visualize each word compared to people who only read the list of words’. Paivio suggested that things are easier to remember if you visualize them (dual-coding theory). One prediction would be ‘The more violent films a person watches, the more aggressively they behave’. One prediction would be ‘People with highly intelligent parents will be more intelligent than those with less intelligent parents’.īandura suggested that people learn their behaviours from watching others (observational learning). Galton suggested that intelligence is hereditary (runs in families). For each one, can you help him to generate a prediction that might arise from the theory. Next possible moves are Up, and Down and clearly Down will lead us to final state leading to heuristic function value equal to 0.Zach wanted to impress Alice, so he asked The Head to find him some famous scientific theories. We chose minimum cost state which is (6). Also, we have previous states (3) and (2) with 6 and 7 respectively. We get costs equal to 5, 2 and 4 for (5), (6) and (7) respectively. Next possible moves can be Left or Right or Down. Also, we will consider (2) obtained before which has cost function equal to 7. (3) leads to cost function equal to 6 and (4) leads to 4. So, we can move Right or Down.Īgain we find the states obtained from (1). We won't move Left as we were previously in that state. The next possible moves can be Left, Right or Down.
We chose the state with minimum cost which is state (1). So states obtained after moving those moves are: 1 _ 3 4 1 3Īgain the total cost function is computed for these states using the method described above and it turns out to be 6 and 7 respectively. Now, the possible states that can be reached from initial state are found and it happens that we can either move _ to right or downwards. Total cost function f(n) is equal to 8 + 0 = 8. So total value for h(n) is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 8. _ is 2 horizontal distance away and 2 vertical distance away. The above value is obtained, as 1 in the current state is 1 horizontal distance away than the 1 in final state. The cost function, g(n) = 0, as we are in the initial state h(n) = 8 So the total cost function f(n) is given by, f(n) = g(n) + h(n), where g(n) is the cost required to reach the current state from given initial stateįirst we find the heuristic value required to reach the final state from initial state. P and q are cell co-ordinates in the final state Where x and y are cell co-ordinates in the current state Let us consider the Manhattan distance between the current and final state as the heuristic for this problem statement. Given an initial state of 8-puzzle game and a final state of to be reached, find the most cost-effective path to reach the final state from initial state. The object is to move to squares around into different positions and having the numbers displayed in the "goal state".
