“Skedasticity” comes from the Ancient Greek word “skedánnymi”, meaning “to scatter”. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Assuming a variable is homoscedastic when in reality it is heteroscedastic ( / ˌ h ɛ t ər oʊ s k ə ˈ d æ s t ɪ k / ) results in unbiased but inefficient point estimates and in biased estimates of standard errors , and may ...
In multivariate statistics and probability theory, the scatter matrix is a statistic that is used to make estimates of the covariance matrix, for instance of the multivariate normal distribution. Definition
Q–Q plot for first opening/final closing dates of Washington State Route 20, versus a normal distribution. [5] Outliers are visible in the upper right corner. A Q–Q plot is a plot of the quantiles of two distributions against each other, or a plot based on estimates of the quantiles.
For example, if the mean height in a population of 21-year-old men is 1.75 meters, and one randomly chosen man is 1.80 meters tall, then the "error" is 0.05 meters; if the randomly chosen man is 1.70 meters tall, then the "error" is −0.05 meters.
Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables (+) = + + (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...
