  2. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    Experimental uncertainty analysis is a technique that analyses a derived quantity, based on the uncertainties in the experimentally measured quantities that are used in some form of mathematical relationship ("model") to calculate that derived quantity.

  3. Family-wise error rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family-wise_error_rate

    Thus, by assuring , the probability of making one or more type I errors in the family is controlled at level . A procedure controls the FWER in the weak sense if the FWER control at level α {\displaystyle \alpha \,\!} is guaranteed only when all null hypotheses are true (i.e. when m 0 = m {\displaystyle m_{0}=m} , meaning the "global null ...

    Here are the key steps involved in the THERP method: Task Analysis: The first step is to break down the overall task into discrete steps or stages. Each stage represents a specific activity or action performed by the human operator.

  5. Empirical probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_probability

    In probability theory and statistics, the empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, [1] i.e. by means not of a theoretical sample space but of an actual experiment.

  6. Experiment (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment_(probability...

    In probability theory, an experiment or trial (see below) is any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, known as the sample space. [1] An experiment is said to be random if it has more than one possible outcome, and deterministic if it has only one.

  7. Plackett–Burman design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plackett–Burman_design

    Plackett–Burman designs are experimental designs presented in 1946 by Robin L. Plackett and J. P. Burman while working in the British Ministry of Supply. [1] Their goal was to find experimental designs for investigating the dependence of some measured quantity on a number of independent variables (factors), each taking L levels, in such a way as to minimize the variance of the estimates of ...

  8. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  9. Rule of succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_succession

    In probability theory, the rule of succession is a formula introduced in the 18th century by Pierre-Simon Laplace in the course of treating the sunrise problem. [1] The formula is still used, particularly to estimate underlying probabilities when there are few observations or events that have not been observed to occur at all in (finite) sample data.
