  2. Stepwise regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepwise_regression

    The main approaches for stepwise regression are: Forward selection, which involves starting with no variables in the model, testing the addition of each variable using a chosen model fit criterion, adding the variable (if any) whose inclusion gives the most statistically significant improvement of the fit, and repeating this process until none improves the model to a statistically significant ...

  3. Telescoping effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescoping_effect

    The former is known as backward telescoping or time expansion, and the latter as is known as forward telescoping. [ 1 ] The approximate time frame in which events switch from being displaced backward in time to forward in time is three years, with events occurring three years in the past being equally likely to be reported with forward ...

  4. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    Forward recall is generally assumed to be easier than backward recall, i.e. forward recall is stronger than backward recall. This is generally true for long sequences of word or letters such as the alphabet. In one view, the independent associations hypothesis, the strength of forward and backward recall are hypothesized to be independent of ...

  5. Forward–backward algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwardbackward_algorithm

    The first pass goes forward in time while the second goes backward in time; hence the name forwardbackward algorithm. The term forwardbackward algorithm is also used to refer to any algorithm belonging to the general class of algorithms that operate on sequence models in a forwardbackward manner. In this sense, the descriptions in the ...

  6. Backward inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_inhibition

    The word inhibition, in the late Middle English meant a ‘forbidding, a prohibition.' [2] It originally came from the Latin verb inhibere,‘hinder,’ from habere or ‘to hold.’ [3] Backward inhibition is a description of the cognitive process that, at its base, means "to hold" something that happened previously in order to process a current event.

  7. Feature selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_selection

    Filter feature selection is a specific case of a more general paradigm called structure learning.Feature selection finds the relevant feature set for a specific target variable whereas structure learning finds the relationships between all the variables, usually by expressing these relationships as a graph.

  8. Heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

    Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier (2011) state that sub-sets of strategy include heuristics, regression analysis, and Bayesian inference. [14]A heuristic is a strategy that ignores part of the information, with the goal of making decisions more quickly, frugally, and/or accurately than more complex methods (Gigerenzer and Gaissmaier [2011], p. 454; see also Todd et al. [2012], p. 7).

  9. Bayesian approaches to brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_approaches_to...

    This field of study has its historical roots in numerous disciplines including machine learning, experimental psychology and Bayesian statistics.As early as the 1860s, with the work of Hermann Helmholtz in experimental psychology, the brain's ability to extract perceptual information from sensory data was modeled in terms of probabilistic estimation.
