  2. Deviation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviation_(statistics)

    The absolute value of the deviation indicates the size or magnitude of the difference. In a given sample, there are as many deviations as sample points. Summary statistics can be derived from a set of deviations, such as the standard deviation and the mean absolute deviation, measures of dispersion, and the mean signed deviation, a measure of ...

  3. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, E is the expectation operator, μ 3 is the third central moment, and κ t are the t-th cumulants. It is sometimes referred to as Pearson's moment coefficient of skewness , [ 5 ] or simply the moment coefficient of skewness , [ 4 ] but should not be confused with Pearson's other skewness ...

  4. Deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviation

    Standard deviation, which is based on the square of the difference; Absolute deviation, where the absolute value of the difference is used; Relative standard deviation, in probability theory and statistics is the absolute value of the coefficient of variation; Deviation of a local ring in mathematics; Deviation of a poset in mathematics

  5. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    The difference between the height of each man in the sample and the observable sample mean is a residual. Note that, because of the definition of the sample mean, the sum of the residuals within a random sample is necessarily zero, and thus the residuals are necessarily not independent.

  6. Negative probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_probability

    Some problems in machine learning use graph- or hypergraph-based formulations having edges assigned with weights, most commonly positive.A positive weight from one vertex to another can be interpreted in a random walk as a probability of getting from the former vertex to the latter.

  7. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    The mean and the standard deviation of a set of data are descriptive statistics usually reported together. In a certain sense, the standard deviation is a "natural" measure of statistical dispersion if the center of the data is measured about the mean. This is because the standard deviation from the mean is smaller than from any other point.

  8. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    The red population has mean 100 and variance 100 (SD=10) while the blue population has mean 100 and variance 2500 (SD=50) where SD stands for Standard Deviation. In probability theory and statistics, variance is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean of a random variable.

  9. Kurtosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis

    For a sample of n values, a method of moments estimator of the population excess kurtosis can be defined as = = = (¯) [= (¯)] where m 4 is the fourth sample moment about the mean, m 2 is the second sample moment about the mean (that is, the sample variance), x i is the i th value, and ¯ is the sample mean.
