  2. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    A frequency distribution is constructed. The centroid of the distribution gives its mean. A square with sides equal to the difference of each value from the mean is formed for each value.

  3. Statistical dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_dispersion

    In statistics, dispersion (also called variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed. [1] Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard deviation, and interquartile range. For instance, when the variance of data in a set is large, the data is widely scattered.

  4. Mathematical visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_visualization

    Mathematical visualization is used throughout mathematics, particularly in the fields of geometry and analysis. Notable examples include plane curves , space curves , polyhedra , ordinary differential equations , partial differential equations (particularly numerical solutions, as in fluid dynamics or minimal surfaces such as soap films ...

  5. Explained variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explained_variation

    In statistics, explained variation measures the proportion to which a mathematical model accounts for the variation of a given data set.Often, variation is quantified as variance; then, the more specific term explained variance can be used.

  6. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    The graphs can be used together to determine the economic equilibrium (essentially, to solve an equation). Simple graph used for reading values: the bell-shaped normal or Gaussian probability distribution, from which, for example, the probability of a man's height being in a specified range can be derived, given data for the adult male population.

  7. Data and information visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information...

    A bar graph shows comparisons among discrete categories. One axis of the chart shows the specific categories being compared, and the other axis represents a measured value. Some bar graphs present bars clustered in groups of more than one, showing the values of more than one measured variable. These clustered groups can be differentiated using ...

  8. Principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis

    Principal component analysis (PCA) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique with applications in exploratory data analysis, visualization and data preprocessing.. The data is linearly transformed onto a new coordinate system such that the directions (principal components) capturing the largest variation in the data can be easily identified.

  9. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph in this context is made up of vertices (also called nodes or points ) which are connected by edges (also called arcs , links or lines ).
