The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.
Schematic of Jackknife Resampling. In statistics, the jackknife (jackknife cross-validation) is a cross-validation technique and, therefore, a form of resampling.It is especially useful for bias and variance estimation.
If the bootstrap distribution of an estimator is symmetric, then percentile confidence-interval are often used; such intervals are appropriate especially for median-unbiased estimators of minimum risk (with respect to an absolute loss function). Bias in the bootstrap distribution will lead to bias in the confidence interval.
Inverse transform sampling (also known as inversion sampling, the inverse probability integral transform, the inverse transformation method, or the Smirnov transform) is a basic method for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e., for generating sample numbers at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function.
A few steps of the bisection method applied over the starting range [a 1;b 1].The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs.
Spirule. In control theory and stability theory, root locus analysis is a graphical method for examining how the roots of a system change with variation of a certain system parameter, commonly a gain within a feedback system.
A nonparametric () pointwise asymptotic confidence interval for () is therefore given by (^) / ^ where denotes the -quantile of the standard normal. See Wasserman (2006) p. 19f. for details and examples.
Birch Interval is a 1976 American coming-of-age drama film written by Joanna Crawford, directed by Delbert Mann, and starring Eddie Albert, Rip Torn, Ann Wedgeworth, Anne Revere, and Susan McClung. It is based on Crawford's 1964 novel of the same name.
