  2. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    For example, a simple univariate regression may propose (,) = +, suggesting that the researcher believes = + + to be a reasonable approximation for the statistical process generating the data. Once researchers determine their preferred statistical model , different forms of regression analysis provide tools to estimate the parameters β ...

  3. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    Example of a cubic polynomial regression, which is a type of linear regression. Although polynomial regression fits a curve model to the data, as a statistical estimation problem it is linear, in the sense that the regression function E(y | x) is linear in the unknown parameters that are estimated from the data.

    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 ...

  5. Infinite regress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_regress

    An illustration of infinite regress. An infinite regress is an infinite series of entities governed by a recursive principle that determines how each entity in the series depends on or is produced by its predecessor. In the epistemic regress, for example, a belief is justified because it is based on another belief that is justified. But this ...

  6. Regression toward the mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

    Galton's experimental setup "Standard eugenics scheme of descent" – early application of Galton's insight [1]. In statistics, regression toward the mean (also called regression to the mean, reversion to the mean, and reversion to mediocrity) is the phenomenon where if one sample of a random variable is extreme, the next sampling of the same random variable is likely to be closer to its mean.

    Regress may refer to: Regress argument, a problem in epistemology concerning the justification of propositions; Infinite regress, a problem in epistemology; See also.

  8. Experimenter's regress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimenter's_regress

    The regress must be broken by "social negotiation" between scientists in the respective field. In the case of Gravitational Radiation, Collins notices that Weber, the scientist who is said to have discovered the phenomenon, could refute all the critique and had "a technical answer for every other point" but he was not able to convince other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_philosophical_problems

    1. Foundationalism, which posits certain basic beliefs as self-justifying, thus halting the regress. 2. Coherentism, which argues that beliefs are justified by their coherence with other beliefs. Susan Haack's foundherentism is a notable hybrid approach. [9] 3. Infinitism, proposed by Peter D. Klein, which views the infinite regress as ...
