Foundations of Data Science
The t-statistic is a value derived from the Student's t-distribution that quantifies the difference between a sample mean and a population mean, normalized by the standard error of the sample mean. This statistic is essential in hypothesis testing, particularly when determining if the means of different groups are statistically significantly different from one another, making it a critical component in the analysis of multiple linear regression.
