  2. Kernel smoother - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_smoother

    A kernel smoother is a statistical technique to estimate a real valued function: as the weighted average of neighboring observed data. The weight is defined by the kernel, such that closer points are given higher weights. The estimated function is smooth, and the level of smoothness is set by a single parameter.

  3. Gower's distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gower's_distance

    Data can be binary, ordinal, or continuous variables. It works by normalizing the differences between each pair of variables and then computing a weighted average of these differences. The distance was defined in 1971 by Gower [1] and it takes values between 0 and 1 with smaller values indicating higher similarity.

  4. Inverse distance weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_distance_weighting

    is a simple IDW weighting function, as defined by Shepard, [3] x denotes an interpolated (arbitrary) point, x i is an interpolating (known) point, is a given distance (metric operator) from the known point x i to the unknown point x, N is the total number of known points used in interpolation and is a positive real number, called the power ...

  5. Weighted arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean

    However, this does not account for the difference in number of students in each class (20 versus 30); hence the value of 85 does not reflect the average student grade (independent of class). The average student grade can be obtained by averaging all the grades, without regard to classes (add all the grades up and divide by the total number of ...

  6. Mutual information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_information

    The joint information is equal to the mutual information plus the sum of all the marginal information (negative of the marginal entropies) for each particle coordinate. Boltzmann's assumption amounts to ignoring the mutual information in the calculation of entropy, which yields the thermodynamic entropy (divided by the Boltzmann constant).

  7. Reduced chi-squared statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_chi-squared_statistic

    The degree of freedom, =, equals the number of observations n minus the number of fitted parameters m. In weighted least squares , the definition is often written in matrix notation as χ ν 2 = r T W r ν , {\displaystyle \chi _{\nu }^{2}={\frac {r^{\mathrm {T} }Wr}{\nu }},} where r is the vector of residuals, and W is the weight matrix, the ...

  8. Empirical Bayes method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_Bayes_method

    The resulting point estimate ⁡ is therefore like a weighted average of the sample mean ¯ and the prior mean =. This turns out to be a general feature of empirical Bayes; the point estimates for the prior (i.e. mean) will look like a weighted averages of the sample estimate and the prior estimate (likewise for estimates of the variance).

  9. Weight function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_function

    The expected value of a random variable is the weighted average of the possible values it might take on, with the weights being the respective probabilities. More generally, the expected value of a function of a random variable is the probability-weighted average of the values the function takes on for each possible value of the random variable.
