  2. Sturges's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturges's_rule

    Sturges's rule [1] is a method to choose the number of bins for a histogram.Given observations, Sturges's rule suggests using ^ = + ⁡ bins in the histogram. This rule is widely employed in data analysis software including Python [2] and R, where it is the default bin selection method.

  3. Check sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_sheet

    Frequency distribution constructed from a check sheet. When assessing the probability distribution of a process one can record all process data and then wait to construct a frequency distribution at a later time. However, a check sheet can be used to construct the frequency distribution as the process is being observed. [3]: 31

  4. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    The bins may be chosen according to some known distribution or may be chosen based on the data so that each bin has / samples. When plotting the histogram, the frequency density is used for the dependent axis. While all bins have approximately equal area, the heights of the histogram approximate the density distribution.

  5. Heuristic (psychology) - Wikipedia

    many subjects incorrectly answer $0.10. [101] An explanation in terms of attribute substitution is that, rather than work out the sum, subjects parse the sum of $1.10 into a large amount and a small amount, which is easy to do. Whether they feel that is the right answer will depend on whether they check the calculation with their reflective system.

  6. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

    Overconfidence effect, a tendency to have excessive confidence in one's own answers to questions. For example, for certain types of questions, answers that people rate as "99% certain" turn out to be wrong 40% of the time. [5] [43] [44] [45] Planning fallacy, the tendency for people to underestimate the time it will take them to complete a ...

  8. Bin (computational geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_(computational_geometry)

    The bin data structure. A histogram ordered into 100,000 bins. In computational geometry, the bin is a data structure that allows efficient region queries. Each time a data point falls into a bin, the frequency of that bin is increased by one.

  9. Word frequency effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_frequency_effect

    The word frequency effect changes how the brain encodes the information. Readers began spelling the higher frequency words faster than the lower frequency words when spelling the words from dictation. The length of saccade varies depending on the frequency of words and the validity of the previous (preview) word in predicting the target word. [5]
