  2. Need for cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_cognition

    Cohen, Stotland and Wolfe (1955), [3] in their work on individual differences in cognitive motivation, identified a "need for cognition" which they defined as "the individual's need to organize his experience meaningfully", the "need to structure relevant situations in meaningful, integrated ways", and "need to understand and make reasonable the experiential world" (p. 291).

    Antoni Zygmund. Doctoral students. Peter Sarnak. Paul Joseph Cohen (April 2, 1934 – March 23, 2007) [1] was an American mathematician. He is best known for his proofs that the continuum hypothesis and the axiom of choice are independent from Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, for which he was awarded a Fields Medal. [2]

  4. Venn diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram

    A Venn diagram, also called a set diagram or logic diagram, shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. These diagrams depict elements as points in the plane, and sets as regions inside closed curves. A Venn diagram consists of multiple overlapping closed curves, usually circles, each representing a set.

  5. Routine activity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routine_activity_theory

    Routine activity theory is a sub-field of crime opportunity theory that focuses on situations of crimes. It was first proposed by Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen in their explanation of crime rate changes in the United States between 1947 and 1974. [1] The theory has been extensively applied and has become one of the most cited theories in ...

  6. Contingency table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency_table

    In statistics, a contingency table (also known as a cross tabulation or crosstab) is a type of table in a matrix format that displays the multivariate frequency distribution of the variables. They are heavily used in survey research, business intelligence, engineering, and scientific research. They provide a basic picture of the interrelation ...

  7. Euler diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_diagram

    Euler diagram. An Euler diagram (/ ˈɔɪlər /, OY-lər) is a diagrammatic means of representing sets and their relationships. They are particularly useful for explaining complex hierarchies and overlapping definitions. They are similar to another set diagramming technique, Venn diagrams.

  8. Constructive set theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_set_theory

    Axiomatic constructive set theory is an approach to mathematical constructivism following the program of axiomatic set theory. The same first-order language with " = {\displaystyle =} " and " ∈ {\displaystyle \in } " of classical set theory is usually used, so this is not to be confused with a constructive types approach.

  9. Effect size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

    In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of a parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...
