  2. Probability bounds analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_bounds_analysis

    A similar problem one presents in the case of probabilistic logic (see for example Gerla 1994). If the probabilities of the events are characterized by probability distributions or p-boxes rather than intervals, then analogous calculations can be done to obtain distributional or p-box results characterizing the probability of the top event.

  3. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    Algorithms of this nature use statistical inference to find the best class for a given instance. Unlike other algorithms, which simply output a "best" class, probabilistic algorithms output a probability of the instance being a member of each of the possible classes. The best class is normally then selected as the one with the highest probability.

  4. Decision boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_boundary

    Decision boundaries can be approximations of optimal stopping boundaries. [2] The decision boundary is the set of points of that hyperplane that pass through zero. [3] For example, the angle between a vector and points in a set must be zero for points that are on or close to the decision boundary. [4]

  5. Reference class problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_class_problem

    In statistics, the reference class problem is the problem of deciding what class to use when calculating the probability applicable to a particular case.. For example, to estimate the probability of an aircraft crashing, we could refer to the frequency of crashes among various different sets of aircraft: all aircraft, this make of aircraft, aircraft flown by this company in the last ten years ...

  6. Chauvenet's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvenet's_criterion

    The idea behind Chauvenet's criterion finds a probability band that reasonably contains all n samples of a data set, centred on the mean of a normal distribution.By doing this, any data point from the n samples that lies outside this probability band can be considered an outlier, removed from the data set, and a new mean and standard deviation based on the remaining values and new sample size ...

  7. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    The term "histogram" was first introduced by Karl Pearson, the founder of mathematical statistics, in lectures delivered in 1892 at University College London.Pearson's term is sometimes incorrectly said to combine the Greek root γραμμα (gramma) = "figure" or "drawing" with the root ἱστορία (historia) = "inquiry" or "history".

  8. Does Class Size Matter? - AOL

    As such, the ideal class size for early grade schoolers is between 14 and 20 students, while older kids can fare fine in slightly larger classes—a recommendation reflected in the fact that NYC ...

  9. Intraclass correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraclass_correlation

    For example, in a paired data set where each "pair" is a single measurement made for each of two units (e.g., weighing each twin in a pair of identical twins) rather than two different measurements for a single unit (e.g., measuring height and weight for each individual), the ICC is a more natural measure of association than Pearson's correlation.
