  2. Conditional independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_independence

    In probability theory, conditional independence describes situations wherein an observation is irrelevant or redundant when evaluating the certainty of a hypothesis. . Conditional independence is usually formulated in terms of conditional probability, as a special case where the probability of the hypothesis given the uninformative observation is equal to the probability

  3. Independence (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability...

    Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes.Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect the odds.

  4. Conditional dependence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_Dependence

    Conditional dependence of A and B given C is the logical negation of conditional independence (()). [6] In conditional independence two events (which may be dependent or not) become independent given the occurrence of a third event. [7]

  5. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    Figure 1. Plots of quadratic function y = ax 2 + bx + c, varying each coefficient separately while the other coefficients are fixed (at values a = 1, b = 0, c = 0). A quadratic equation whose coefficients are real numbers can have either zero, one, or two distinct real-valued solutions, also called roots.

    Another example is the integration of f(x) = on [0,1]. [34] Using the Monte Carlo method and the LLN, we can see that as the number of samples increases, the numerical value gets closer to 0.4180233. [34]

  7. Expected utility hypothesis - Wikipedia

    For example, if you study, you can not see your friends. However, you will get a good grade in your course. In this scenario, we analyze personal preferences and beliefs and will be able to predict which option a person might choose (e.g., if someone prioritizes their social life over academic results, they will go out with their friends).

  8. Necessity and sufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency

    For example, in the conditional statement: "If P then Q", Q is necessary for P, because the truth of Q is guaranteed by the truth of P. (Equivalently, it is impossible to have P without Q , or the falsity of Q ensures the falsity of P .) [ 1 ] Similarly, P is sufficient for Q , because P being true always implies that Q is true, but P not being ...

  9. Goodness of fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodness_of_fit

    The general formula for G is G = 2 ∑ i O i ⋅ ln ⁡ ( O i E i ) , {\displaystyle G=2\sum _{i}{O_{i}\cdot \ln \left({\frac {O_{i}}{E_{i}}}\right)},} where O i {\textstyle O_{i}} and E i {\textstyle E_{i}} are the same as for the chi-square test, ln {\textstyle \ln } denotes the natural logarithm , and the sum is taken over all non-empty bins.
