  2. Distribution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The support of the distribution associated with the Dirac measure at a point is the set {}. [12] If the support of a test function does not intersect the support of a distribution T then = A distribution T is 0 if and

  3. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    The median of a normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ 2 is μ. In fact, for a normal distribution, mean = median = mode. The median of a uniform distribution in the interval [a, b] is (a + b) / 2, which is also the mean. The median of a Cauchy distribution with location parameter x 0 and scale parameter y is x 0, the location parameter.

  4. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    This does not look random, but it satisfies the definition of random variable. This is useful because it puts deterministic variables and random variables in the same formalism. The discrete uniform distribution, where all elements of a finite set are equally likely. This is the theoretical distribution model for a balanced coin, an unbiased ...

  5. Statistical dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_dispersion

    In statistics, dispersion (also called variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed. [1] Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard deviation, and interquartile range. For instance, when the variance of data in a set is large, the data is widely scattered.

  6. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Such a continuous distribution is called multimodal (as opposed to unimodal). In symmetric unimodal distributions, such as the normal distribution, the mean (if defined), median and mode all coincide. For samples, if it is known that they are drawn from a symmetric unimodal distribution, the sample mean can be used as an estimate of the ...

  7. Central tendency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

    an arithmetic mean that incorporates weighting to certain data elements. Truncated mean or trimmed mean the arithmetic mean of data values after a certain number or proportion of the highest and lowest data values have been discarded. Interquartile mean a truncated mean based on data within the interquartile range. Midrange

  8. Range (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In descriptive statistics, the range of a set of data is size of the narrowest interval which contains all the data. It is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values (also known as the sample maximum and minimum). [1] It is expressed in the same units as the data.

  9. Notation in probability and statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_in_probability...

    Greek letters (e.g. θ, β) are commonly used to denote unknown parameters (population parameters). [3]A tilde (~) denotes "has the probability distribution of". Placing a hat, or caret (also known as a circumflex), over a true parameter denotes an estimator of it, e.g., ^ is an estimator for .
