  2. Empirical probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_probability

    In probability theory and statistics, the empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, [1] i.e. by means not of a theoretical sample space but of an actual experiment.

  3. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.

  4. Empirical measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_measure

    In probability theory, an empirical measure is a random measure arising from a particular realization of a (usually finite) sequence of random variables. The precise definition is found below. The precise definition is found below.

  5. Monty Hall problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem

    [49] [13] In accordance with this, most sources for the topic of probability calculate the conditional probabilities that the car is behind door 1 and door 2 to be ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ respectively given the contestant initially picks door 1 and the host opens door 3.

  6. Glivenko–Cantelli theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glivenko–Cantelli_theorem

    A class is called a universal Glivenko–Cantelli class if it is a GC class with respect to any probability measure on (,). A class is a weak uniform Glivenko–Cantelli class if the convergence occurs uniformly over all probability measures P {\displaystyle \mathbb {P} } on ( S , A ) {\displaystyle ({\mathcal {S}},A)} : For every ε > 0 ...

  7. Statistical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_model

    More generally, we can calculate the probability of any event: e.g. (1 and 2) or (3 and 3) or (5 and 6). The alternative statistical assumption is this: for each of the dice, the probability of the face 5 coming up is ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ (because the dice are weighted ).

  8. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.

  9. Empirical Bayes method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_Bayes_method

    Empirical Bayes methods are procedures for statistical inference in which the prior probability distribution is estimated from the data. This approach stands in contrast to standard Bayesian methods , for which the prior distribution is fixed before any data are observed.
