      In general, the one using root(n-1) is more correct than root(n) because it makes the estimator unbiased. I put root(n) here because that’s what you get with the MLE for estimating the variance of normally distributed data.

A hypothesis test especially in your sampling sizes is gonna be large. diff between root of n and n-1 is gonna be in the 0.000x probably. Also how does it make it unbiased?! from an undergrad of Aswath Damodaran, my understanding was that bias is an error from human judgement. How can it be reduced if not eliminated by subtracting 1?

    Just a quick note, on 4:27 you said that all random variables have a pdf, but that is not always true. The easiest example is a cdf which is not differentiable, then the pdf can not exist. Much more complicated examples can be constructed, but the previous is a quick one.

    I really intend no offense, Very Normal, but you give off the distinct impression of someone who has studied very little about the basics of frequentist and Bayesian statistics, as you make a number of false or inaccurate statements (particularly about frequentism). Let me list just a few: - Priors: frequentist analyses absolutely can (and do) incorporate prior knowledge and possible values of a parameter of interest. These are just not called "priors"; they are called "auxiliary data sets" and are free from subjective choices of which variables to use (which Bayesian analyses suffer from). - Frequentist analyses also produce a range of likely values of a parameter of interest. See "confidence intervals" - The phrase "Bayesian statistics" DOES NOT come from Bayes theorem. Bayes theorem is a general statement that is valid for any system of probability that satisfies the Kolmogorov axioms. "Bayesian statistics" derives its name from Bayes who pioneered the interpretation of probability to mean degree of belief. - The "D" in "PDF" stands for "density", not "distribution" Frequentist and Bayesian analyses really do much of the same things; the difference, fundamentally, is in the interpretation of the word "probability" and whether or not a result should depend on subjective choices just as much as data, or on data alone.
