  2. Negative hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hypergeometric...

    In probability theory and statistics, the negative hypergeometric distribution describes probabilities for when sampling from a finite population without replacement in which each sample can be classified into two mutually exclusive categories like Pass/Fail or Employed/Unemployed. As random selections are made from the population, each ...

  3. Hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of successes (random draws for which the object drawn has a specified feature) in draws, without replacement, from a finite population of size that contains exactly objects with that feature, wherein each draw is either a success or a failure.

  4. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    Sampling done without replacement is no longer independent, but still satisfies exchangeability, hence most results of mathematical statistics still hold. Further, for a small sample from a large population, sampling without replacement is approximately the same as sampling with replacement, since the probability of choosing the same individual ...

    Originally conceived in 1988 by John W. Eaton as a companion software for an undergraduate textbook, Eaton later opted to modify it into a more flexible tool. Development began in 1992 and the alpha version was released in 1993. Subsequently, version 1.0 was released a year after that in 1994.

  6. Mutual exclusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_exclusivity

    The probability of drawing a red and a club in two drawings without replacement is then 26/52 × 13/51 × 2 = 676/2652, or 13/51. With replacement, the probability would be 26/52 × 13/52 × 2 = 676/2704, or 13/52. In probability theory, the word or allows for the possibility of both events happening

  7. Burr distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_distribution

    In probability theory, statistics and econometrics, the Burr Type XII distribution or simply the Burr distribution [2] is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. It is also known as the Singh–Maddala distribution [ 3 ] and is one of a number of different distributions sometimes called the "generalized log ...

  8. Estimation of distribution algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_of_distribution...

    The main difference between EDAs and most conventional evolutionary algorithms is that evolutionary algorithms generate new candidate solutions using an implicit distribution defined by one or more variation operators, whereas EDAs use an explicit probability distribution encoded by a Bayesian network, a multivariate normal distribution, or ...

  9. Exchangeable random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_random_variables

    Suppose marbles are drawn without replacement until the urn is empty. Let be the indicator random variable of the event that the -th marble drawn is red. Then {} =, …, + is an exchangeable sequence. This sequence cannot be extended to any longer exchangeable sequence.
