  2. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    This number can be seen as equal to the one of the first definition, independently of any of the formulas below to compute it: if in each of the n factors of the power (1 + X) n one temporarily labels the term X with an index i (running from 1 to n), then each subset of k indices gives after expansion a contribution X k, and the coefficient of ...

  3. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    for k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n, where =!! ()! is the binomial coefficient. The formula can be understood as follows: p k q n−k is the probability of obtaining the sequence of n independent Bernoulli trials in which k trials are "successes" and the remaining n − k trials

  4. Phi coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_coefficient

    In statistics, the phi coefficient (or mean square contingency coefficient and denoted by φ or r φ) is a measure of association for two binary variables.. In machine learning, it is known as the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) and used as a measure of the quality of binary (two-class) classifications, introduced by biochemist Brian W. Matthews in 1975.

  5. Quantities of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantities_of_information

    Mutual information is closely related to the log-likelihood ratio test in the context of contingency tables and the multinomial distribution and to Pearson's χ 2 test: mutual information can be considered a statistic for assessing independence between a pair of variables, and has a well-specified asymptotic distribution.

  6. Degrees of freedom (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom...

    Then, at each of the n measured points, the weight of the original value on the linear combination that makes up the predicted value is just 1/k. Thus, the trace of the hat matrix is n/k. Thus the smooth costs n/k effective degrees of freedom. As another example, consider the existence of nearly duplicated observations.

  7. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

    Hence the constant "k" is the product of x and y. The graph of two variables varying inversely on the Cartesian coordinate plane is a rectangular hyperbola. The product of the x and y values of each point on the curve equals the constant of proportionality (k). Since neither x nor y can equal zero (because k is non-zero), the graph never ...

  8. Mathematical and theoretical biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_and...

    Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...

  9. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    However, glossaries like this one are useful for looking up, comparing and reviewing large numbers of terms together. You can help enhance this page by adding new terms or writing definitions for existing ones. This glossary of calculus is a list of definitions about calculus, its sub-disciplines, and related fields.
