  2. Potentially hazardous object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentially_hazardous_object

    The asteroid Toutatis is listed as a potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid, yet poses no immediate threat to Earth.(Radar image taken by GDSCC in 1996.)A potentially hazardous object (PHO) is a near-Earth object – either an asteroid or a comet – with an orbit that can make close approaches to the Earth and which is large enough to cause significant regional damage in the event of ...

  3. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present.

  4. False positive rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_rate

    The false positive rate (false alarm rate) is = + [1]. where is the number of false positives, is the number of true negatives and = + is the total number of ground truth negatives.

  5. Return period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_period

    The theoretical return period between occurrences is the inverse of the average frequency of occurrence. For example, a 10-year flood has a 1/10 = 0.1 or 10% chance of being exceeded in any one year and a 50-year flood has a 0.02 or 2% chance of being exceeded in any one year.

  6. Hazard ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_ratio

    While hazard ratios allow for hypothesis testing, they should be considered alongside other measures for interpretation of the treatment effect, e.g. the ratio of median times (median ratio) at which treatment and control group participants are at some endpoint. If the analogy of a race is applied, the hazard ratio is equivalent to the odds ...

  8. Lists of earthquakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes

    Earthquakes (6.0+ M w) between 1900 and 2017 Earthquakes are caused by movements within the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle.They range from weak events detectable only by seismometers, to sudden and violent events lasting many minutes which have caused some of the greatest disasters in human history.

  9. Family-wise error rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family-wise_error_rate

    The procedures of Bonferroni and Holm control the FWER under any dependence structure of the p-values (or equivalently the individual test statistics).Essentially, this is achieved by accommodating a `worst-case' dependence structure (which is close to independence for most practical purposes).
