  2. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics)

    The mode of a sample is the element that occurs most often in the collection. For example, the mode of the sample [1, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 12, 12, 17] is 6. Given the list of data [1, 1, 2, 4, 4] its mode is not unique. A dataset, in such a case, is said to be bimodal, while a set with more than two modes may be described as multimodal.

  3. Modes of variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_variation

    In statistics, modes of variation [1] are a continuously indexed set of vectors or functions that are centered at a mean and are used to depict the variation in a population or sample. Typically, variation patterns in the data can be decomposed in descending order of eigenvalues with the directions represented by the corresponding eigenvectors ...

  4. Talk:Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mode_(statistics)

    The article gives the example of a data sample [1, 1, 2, 4, 4] and states: "the mode is not unique". That is about all that can be said about it. Depending on your needs, predilections, and local customs, you can pick your choice between: (a) for this sample the mode is undefined; (b) this sample actually has two modes: 1 and 4; and (c) the ...

  5. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics)

    For example, in an opinion poll, possible sampling frames include an electoral register and a telephone directory. A probability sample is a sample in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately determined. The combination of these traits makes it ...

  6. Central tendency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

    A simple example of this is for the center of nominal data: instead of using the mode (the only single-valued "center"), one often uses the empirical measure (the frequency distribution divided by the sample size) as a "center". For example, given binary data, say heads or tails, if a data set consists of 2 heads and 1 tails, then the mode is ...

  7. Beta distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution

    While for typical unimodal distributions (with centrally located modes, inflexion points at both sides of the mode, and longer tails) (with Beta(α, β) such that α, β > 2) it is known that the sample mean (as an estimate of location) is not as robust as the sample median, the opposite is the case for uniform or "U-shaped" bimodal ...

    When you use your oven to cook (as opposed to a stovetop, grill, or smoker, for example), heat is coming from the top and the bottom. Chef Button says, the main difference is with the temperature ...

    The mode is the point of global maximum of the probability density function. ... for example PFIM [28] ... but the sample's mean ...
