2. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

   Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined ...

3. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

   Sampling (statistics) In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. The subset is meant to reflect the whole population and statisticians ...

4. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

   Bootstrapping (statistics) Bootstrapping is a procedure for estimating the distribution of an estimator by resampling (often with replacement) one's data or a model estimated from the data. [1] Bootstrapping assigns measures of accuracy (bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error, etc.) to sample estimates. [2][3] This technique ...

5. Unbiased estimation of standard deviation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbiased_estimation_of...

   Unbiased estimation of standard deviation. In statistics and in particular statistical theory, unbiased estimation of a standard deviation is the calculation from a statistical sample of an estimated value of the standard deviation (a measure of statistical dispersion) of a population of values, in such a way that the expected value of the ...

6. Point estimation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_estimation

   In statistics, point estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value (known as a point estimate since it identifies a point in some parameter space) which is to serve as a "best guess" or "best estimate" of an unknown population parameter (for example, the population mean). More formally, it is the application of a point ...

7. Sample mean and covariance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_mean_and_covariance

   The sample mean (sample average) or empirical mean (empirical average), and the sample covariance or empirical covariance are statistics computed from a sample of data on one or more random variables. The sample mean is the average value (or mean value) of a sample of numbers taken from a larger population of numbers, where "population ...

8. Estimation statistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_statistics

   Estimation statistics. Estimation statistics, or simply estimation, is a data analysis framework that uses a combination of effect sizes, confidence intervals, precision planning, and meta-analysis to plan experiments, analyze data and interpret results. [1] It complements hypothesis testing approaches such as null hypothesis significance ...

9. Estimation of covariance matrices - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_of_covariance...

   The sample covariance matrix (SCM) is an unbiased and efficient estimator of the covariance matrix if the space of covariance matrices is viewed as an extrinsic convex cone in Rp×p; however, measured using the intrinsic geometry of positive-definite matrices, the SCM is a biased and inefficient estimator.
