  2. Radial unit hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_unit_hypothesis

    The Radial Unit Hypothesis (RUH) is a conceptual theory of cerebral cortex development, first described by Pasko Rakic. It states that the cerebral cortex develops during embryogenesis as an array of interacting cortical columns , or 'radial units', each of which originates from a transient stem cell layer called the ventricular zone , which ...

  3. Multivariate normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_normal...

    The null hypothesis is that the data set is similar to the normal distribution, therefore a sufficiently small p-value indicates non-normal data. Multivariate normality tests include the Cox–Small test [ 33 ] and Smith and Jain's adaptation [ 34 ] of the Friedman–Rafsky test created by Larry Rafsky and Jerome Friedman .

  4. Marginal zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_zone

    The marginal zone is the region at the interface between the non-lymphoid red pulp and the lymphoid white-pulp of the spleen. (Some sources consider it to be the part of red pulp which borders on the white pulp, while other sources consider it to be neither red pulp nor white pulp.) A marginal zone also exists in lymph nodes. [1] [2]

  5. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    A. W. F. Edwards (1972) established the axiomatic basis for use of the log-likelihood ratio as a measure of relative support for one hypothesis against another. The support function is then the natural logarithm of the likelihood function.

  6. Marginal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_distribution

    A marginal probability can always be written as an expected value: = () = ⁡ [()]. Intuitively, the marginal probability of X is computed by examining the conditional probability of X given a particular value of Y , and then averaging this conditional probability over the distribution of all values of Y .

  7. Cobb–Douglas production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobb–Douglas_production...

    Wire-grid Cobb–Douglas production surface with isoquants A two-input Cobb–Douglas production function with isoquants. In economics and econometrics, the Cobb–Douglas production function is a particular functional form of the production function, widely used to represent the technological relationship between the amounts of two or more inputs (particularly physical capital and labor) and ...

  8. Copula (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    when the two marginal functions and the copula density function are known, then the joint probability density function between the two random variables can be calculated, or; when the two marginal functions and the joint probability density function between the two random variables are known, then the copula density function can be calculated.

  9. McNemar's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNemar's_test

    McNemar's test is a statistical test used on paired nominal data.It is applied to 2 × 2 contingency tables with a dichotomous trait, with matched pairs of subjects, to determine whether the row and column marginal frequencies are equal (that is, whether there is "marginal homogeneity").
