  2. Random variate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variate

    In probability and statistics, a random variate or simply variate is a particular outcome or realization of a random variable; the random variates which are other outcomes of the same random variable might have different values (random numbers).

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

  4. Variable and attribute (research) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_and_attribute...

    How high, or how low, is determined by the value of the attribute (and in fact, an attribute could be just the word "low" or "high"). [1] (For example see: Binary option) While an attribute is often intuitive, the variable is the operationalized way in which the attribute is represented for further data processing.

    In other descriptive anatomical terms, whether in vertebrates or invertebrates, a frenum (a structure for keeping something in place) is simply the Latin for a bridle; and a foramen (a passage or perforation) also is the actual Latin word. [14] All such words are so much terminology.

  7. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    The use of the term n − 1 is called Bessel's correction, and it is also used in sample covariance and the sample standard deviation (the square root of variance). The square root is a concave function and thus introduces negative bias (by Jensen's inequality ), which depends on the distribution, and thus the corrected sample standard ...

  8. Random variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variable

    The term 'random variable' in its mathematical definition refers to neither randomness nor variability [2] but instead is a mathematical function in which the domain is the set of possible outcomes in a sample space (e.g. the set { H , T } {\displaystyle \{H,T\}} which are the possible upper sides of a flipped coin heads H {\displaystyle H} or ...

  9. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

    In mathematics, a function is a rule for taking an input (in the simplest case, a number or set of numbers) [5] and providing an output (which may also be a number). [5] A symbol that stands for an arbitrary input is called an independent variable, while a symbol that stands for an arbitrary output is called a dependent variable. [6]
