  2. Pivotal quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivotal_quantity

    One of the simplest pivotal quantities is the z-score.Given a normal distribution with mean and variance , and an observation 'x', the z-score: =, has distribution (,) – a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

  3. Fiducial inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial_inference

    The pivotal method is based on a random variable that is a function of both the observations and the parameters but whose distribution does not depend on the parameter. Such random variables are called pivotal quantities. By using these, probability statements about the observations and parameters may be made in which the probabilities do not ...

  4. t-statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic

    Most frequently, t statistics are used in Student's t-tests, a form of statistical hypothesis testing, and in the computation of certain confidence intervals. The key property of the t statistic is that it is a pivotal quantity – while defined in terms of the sample mean, its sampling distribution does not depend on the population parameters, and thus it can be used regardless of what these ...

  5. Ancillary statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary_statistic

    Conversely, given i.i.d. normal variables with known mean 1 and unknown variance σ 2, the sample mean ¯ is not an ancillary statistic of the variance, as the sampling distribution of the sample mean is N(1, σ 2 /n), which does depend on σ 2 – this measure of location (specifically, its standard error) depends on dispersion.

  8. Prediction interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_interval

    Given a sample from a normal distribution, whose parameters are unknown, it is possible to give prediction intervals in the frequentist sense, i.e., an interval [a, b] based on statistics of the sample such that on repeated experiments, X n+1 falls in the interval the desired percentage of the time; one may call these "predictive confidence intervals".
