  2. Continuous or discrete variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Continuous_or_discrete_variable

    In contrast, a variable is a discrete variable if and only if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between this variable and a subset of , the set of natural numbers. [8] In other words, a discrete variable over a particular interval of real values is one for which, for any value in the range that the variable is permitted to take on, there ...

  3. Iris flower data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_flower_data_set

    The data set is approximated by the closest tree with some penalty for the excessive number of nodes, bending and stretching. Then the so-called "metro map" is constructed. [4] The data points are projected into the closest node. For each node the pie diagram of the projected points is prepared. The area of the pie is proportional to the number ...

  4. Data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_set

    A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data. In the case of tabular data, a data set corresponds to one or more database tables, where every column of a table represents a particular variable, and each row corresponds to a given record of the data set in question. The data set lists values for each of the variables, such as for example ...

  5. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    Benford's law, which describes the frequency of the first digit of many naturally occurring data. The ideal and robust soliton distributions. Zipf's law or the Zipf distribution. A discrete power-law distribution, the most famous example of which is the description of the frequency of words in the English language.

  6. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics)

    In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. [1] If X is a discrete random variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function takes its maximum value (i.e., x=argmax x i P(X = x i)). In other words, it is the value that is most likely to be sampled.

  7. Discrete uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_uniform_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the discrete uniform distribution is a symmetric probability distribution wherein each of some finite whole number n of outcome values are equally likely to be observed. Thus every one of the n outcome values has equal probability 1/n. Intuitively, a discrete uniform distribution is "a known, finite number ...

  8. Probability mass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_mass_function

    The graph of a probability mass function. All the values of this function must be non-negative and sum up to 1. In probability and statistics, a probability mass function (sometimes called probability function or frequency function [1]) is a function that gives the probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value. [2]

  9. Categorical distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_distribution

    The posterior distribution in general describes the parameter in question, and in this case the parameter itself is a discrete probability distribution, i.e. the actual categorical distribution that generated the data. For example, if 3 categories in the ratio 40:5:55 are in the observed data, then ignoring the effect of the prior distribution ...
