  2. Bernoulli distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution

    The categorical distribution is the generalization of the Bernoulli distribution for variables with any constant number of discrete values. The Beta distribution is the conjugate prior of the Bernoulli distribution. [5] The geometric distribution models the number of independent and identical Bernoulli trials needed to get one success.

  3. Bernoulli trial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial

    In the theory of probability and statistics, a Bernoulli trial (or binomial trial) is a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted. [1]

  4. Bernoulli sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_sampling

    In the theory of finite population sampling, Bernoulli sampling is a sampling process where each element of the population is subjected to an independent Bernoulli trial which determines whether the element becomes part of the sample. An essential property of Bernoulli sampling is that all elements of the population have equal probability of ...

  5. Bernoulli process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_process

    A Bernoulli process is a finite or infinite sequence of independent random variables X 1, X 2, X 3, ..., such that for each i, the value of X i is either 0 or 1; for all values of , the probability p that X i = 1 is the same. In other words, a Bernoulli process is a sequence of independent identically distributed Bernoulli trials.

  6. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  7. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    The book extended the concept of expectation by adding rules for how to calculate expectations in more complicated situations than the original problem (e.g., for three or more players), and can be seen as the first successful attempt at laying down the foundations of the theory of probability.

  8. Ars Conjectandi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_Conjectandi

    Bernoulli was very proud of this result, referring to it as his "golden theorem", [25] and remarked that it was "a problem in which I've engaged myself for twenty years". [26] This early version of the law is known today as either Bernoulli's theorem or the weak law of large numbers, as it is less rigorous and general than the modern version. [27]

  9. Law of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

    He named this his "Golden Theorem" but it became generally known as "Bernoulli's theorem". This should not be confused with Bernoulli's principle, named after Jacob Bernoulli's nephew Daniel Bernoulli. In 1837, S. D. Poisson further described it under the name "la loi des grands nombres" ("the law of large numbers").
