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.
For any sample with a nominal independent variable and dependent variable (or ones that can be treated nominally), it indicates the extent to which the modal categories and frequencies for each value of the independent variable differ from the overall modal category and frequency, i.e., for all values of the independent variable together.
Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample.The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample.
Place this template at the bottom of appropriate articles in statistics: {{Statistics}} For most articles transcluding this template, the name of that section of the template most relevant to the article (usually where a link to the article itself is found) should be added as a parameter. This configures the template to be shown with all but ...
When an inline formula is long enough, it can be helpful to allow it to break across lines. Whether using LaTeX or templates, split the formula at each acceptable breakpoint into separate <math> tags or {} templates with any binary relations or operators and intermediate whitespace included at the trailing rather than leading end of a part.
Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status; Equation (LaTeX) 1: See Wikipedia:LaTeX for instructions if unfamiliar. Example e^{iz} = \cos(z) + i \sin(z) String: required: Equation number: 2: The number of the equation, also used to generate the anchor. String: suggested: Anchor id: id: The anchor id.
This distribution for a = 0, b = 1 and c = 0.5—the mode (i.e., the peak) is exactly in the middle of the interval—corresponds to the distribution of the mean of two standard uniform variables, that is, the distribution of X = (X 1 + X 2) / 2, where X 1, X 2 are two independent random variables with standard uniform distribution in [0, 1]. [1]
Displays an equation in a box. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status Indent indent One or two colons for an indent from the left, OR a valid CSS margin value. Leave blank for no indent. Example: String optional Cellpadding (margin) cellpadding Number of pixels to be used as padding of the box around the equation (how much the box wraps around the equation ...
