  2. Zero-inflated model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-inflated_model

    One well-known zero-inflated model is Diane Lambert's zero-inflated Poisson model, which concerns a random event containing excess zero-count data in unit time. [8] For example, the number of insurance claims within a population for a certain type of risk would be zero-inflated by those people who have not taken out insurance against the risk ...

  3. Dummy variable (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The variable could take on a value of 1 for males and 0 for females (or vice versa). In machine learning this is known as one-hot encoding. Dummy variables are commonly used in regression analysis to represent categorical variables that have more than two levels, such as education level or occupation.

  4. Theil–Sen estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    An estimator for the slope with approximately median rank, having the same breakdown point as the Theil–Sen estimator, may be maintained in the data stream model (in which the sample points are processed one by one by an algorithm that does not have enough persistent storage to represent the entire data set) using an algorithm based on ε-nets.

  5. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    Because this, as well as the linear time requirement, can be prohibitive, several estimation procedures for the median have been developed. A simple one is the median of three rule, which estimates the median as the median of a three-element subsample; this is commonly used as a subroutine in the quicksort sorting algorithm, which uses an ...

  6. Index of dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_dispersion

    In probability theory and statistics, the index of dispersion, [1] dispersion index, coefficient of dispersion, relative variance, or variance-to-mean ratio (VMR), like the coefficient of variation, is a normalized measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution: it is a measure used to quantify whether a set of observed occurrences are clustered or dispersed compared to a standard ...

  7. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Then the logarithm of random variable Y is normally distributed, hence the name. Taking the mean μ of X to be 0, the median of Y will be 1, independent of the standard deviation σ of X. This is so because X has a symmetric distribution, so its median is also 0. The transformation from X to Y is monotonic, and so we find the median e 0 = 1 for Y.

  8. Indicator function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_function

    What appears to the modern reader as the representing function's logical inversion, i.e. the representing function is 0 when the function R is "true" or satisfied", plays a useful role in Kleene's definition of the logical functions OR, AND, and IMPLY, [2]: 228 the bounded-[2]: 228 and unbounded-[2]: 279 ff mu operators and the CASE function.

  9. Weighted median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_median

    The lower weighted median is 2 with partition sums of 0.49 and 0.5, and the upper weighted median is 3 with partition sums of 0.5 and 0.25. In the case of working with integers or non-interval measures, the lower weighted median would be accepted since it is the lower weight of the pair and therefore keeps the partitions most equal. However, it ...
