  2. Glossary of probability and statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_probability...

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

  4. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and...

    In other words, the terms random sample and IID are synonymous. In statistics, "random sample" is the typical terminology, but in probability, it is more common to say "IID." Identically distributed means that there are no overall trends — the distribution does not fluctuate and all items in the sample are taken from the same probability ...

  5. Variable and attribute (research) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_and_attribute...

    How high, or how low, is determined by the value of the attribute (and in fact, an attribute could be just the word "low" or "high"). [1] For example see: Binary option ) While an attribute is often intuitive, the variable is the operationalized way in which the attribute is represented for further data processing .

  6. Completeness (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, completeness is a property of a statistic computed on a sample dataset in relation to a parametric model of the dataset. It is opposed to the concept of an ancillary statistic . While an ancillary statistic contains no information about the model parameters, a complete statistic contains only information about the parameters, and ...

  7. Leverage (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics and in particular in regression analysis, leverage is a measure of how far away the independent variable values of an observation are from those of the other observations. High-leverage points , if any, are outliers with respect to the independent variables .

  8. Statistical parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_parameter

    A "parameter" is to a population as a "statistic" is to a sample; that is to say, a parameter describes the true value calculated from the full population (such as the population mean), whereas a statistic is an estimated measurement of the parameter based on a sample (such as the sample mean).

  9. Probability theory - Wikipedia

    That is, the probability function f(x) lies between zero and one for every value of x in the sample space Ω, and the sum of f(x) over all values x in the sample space Ω is equal to 1. An event is defined as any subset E {\displaystyle E\,} of the sample space Ω {\displaystyle \Omega \,} .
