  2. Pfister's sixteen-square identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfister's_sixteen-square...

    The identity shows that, in general, the product of two sums of sixteen squares is the sum of sixteen rational squares. Incidentally, the u i {\displaystyle u_{i}} also obey,

  3. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The chi-squared distribution, which is the sum of the squares of n independent Gaussian random variables. It is a special case of the Gamma distribution, and it is used in goodness-of-fit tests in statistics. The inverse-chi-squared distribution; The noncentral chi-squared distribution; The scaled inverse chi-squared distribution; The Dagum ...

  4. Negative probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_probability

    In Convolution quotients of nonnegative definite functions [5] and Algebraic Probability Theory [6] Imre Z. Ruzsa and Gábor J. Székely proved that if a random variable X has a signed or quasi distribution where some of the probabilities are negative then one can always find two random variables, Y and Z, with ordinary (not signed / not quasi ...

  5. Negative hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hypergeometric...

    In probability theory and statistics, the negative hypergeometric distribution describes probabilities for when sampling from a finite population without replacement in which each sample can be classified into two mutually exclusive categories like Pass/Fail or Employed/Unemployed. As random selections are made from the population, each ...

  6. Noncentral t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution

    The noncentral t-distribution generalizes Student's t-distribution using a noncentrality parameter.Whereas the central probability distribution describes how a test statistic t is distributed when the difference tested is null, the noncentral distribution describes how t is distributed when the null is false.

  7. Negative binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution

    Different texts (and even different parts of this article) adopt slightly different definitions for the negative binomial distribution. They can be distinguished by whether the support starts at k = 0 or at k = r, whether p denotes the probability of a success or of a failure, and whether r represents success or failure, [1] so identifying the specific parametrization used is crucial in any ...

  8. Hellinger distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellinger_distance

    To define the Hellinger distance in terms of elementary probability theory, we take λ to be the Lebesgue measure, so that dP / dλ and dQ / dλ are simply probability density functions. If we denote the densities as f and g, respectively, the squared Hellinger distance can be expressed as a standard calculus integral

  9. Wilks' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks'_theorem

    An example of Pearson's test is a comparison of two coins to determine whether they have the same probability of coming up heads. The observations can be put into a contingency table with rows corresponding to the coin and columns corresponding to heads or tails.
