2. Pivotal quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivotal_quantity

   Then is called a pivotal quantity (or simply a pivot). Pivotal quantities are commonly used for normalization to allow data from different data sets to be compared. It is relatively easy to construct pivots for location and scale parameters: for the former we form differences so that location cancels, for the latter ratios so that scale cancels.

4. Ancillary statistic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary_statistic

   In statistics, ancillarity is a property of a statistic computed on a sample dataset in relation to a parametric model of the dataset. An ancillary statistic has the same distribution regardless of the value of the parameters and thus provides no information about them.

5. Fiducial inference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial_inference

   The pivotal method is based on a random variable that is a function of both the observations and the parameters but whose distribution does not depend on the parameter. Such random variables are called pivotal quantities. By using these, probability statements about the observations and parameters may be made in which the probabilities do not ...

7. t-statistic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic

   Most frequently, t statistics are used in Student's t-tests, a form of statistical hypothesis testing, and in the computation of certain confidence intervals. The key property of the t statistic is that it is a pivotal quantity – while defined in terms of the sample mean, its sampling distribution does not depend on the population parameters, and thus it can be used regardless of what these ...
