Confounding variables may also be categorised according to their source. The choice of measurement instrument (operational confound), situational characteristics (procedural confound), or inter-individual differences (person confound). An operational confounding can occur in both experimental and non-experimental research designs. This type of ...
Regression is a statistical technique used to help investigate how variation in one or more variables predicts or explains variation in another variable. Bivariate regression aims to identify the equation representing the optimal line that defines the relationship between two variables based on a particular data set.
A model is constructed based on modeling the response of the simulator to a limited number of intelligently chosen data points. This approach is also known as behavioral modeling or black-box modeling, though the terminology is not always consistent. When only a single design variable is involved, the process is known as curve fitting.
When determining the numerical relationship between two variables of interest, using their correlation coefficient will give misleading results if there is another confounding variable that is numerically related to both variables of interest. This misleading information can be avoided by controlling for the confounding variable, which is done ...
A great co-founder relationship is a beautiful thing. But if you cannot, it can be good to be a solo founder too! Just go hire a great team, and perhaps a co-founder will emerge from the ranks.
In statistics, the Behrens–Fisher problem, named after Walter-Ulrich Behrens and Ronald Fisher, is the problem of interval estimation and hypothesis testing concerning the difference between the means of two normally distributed populations when the variances of the two populations are not assumed to be equal, based on two independent samples.
Steve Case is the billionaire founding CEO of AOL and the head of Washington, DC-based venture-capital firm Revolution. Case said AOL's initial public offering had little fanfare and that it took ...
In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information (MI) of two random variables is a measure of the mutual dependence between the two variables. More specifically, it quantifies the " amount of information " (in units such as shannons ( bits ), nats or hartleys ) obtained about one random variable by observing the other random ...
