  2. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    Thus to compare residuals at different inputs, one needs to adjust the residuals by the expected variability of residuals, which is called studentizing. This is particularly important in the case of detecting outliers, where the case in question is somehow different from the others in a dataset. For example, a large residual may be expected in ...

  3. Residual sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_sum_of_squares

    The general regression model with n observations and k explanators, the first of which is a constant unit vector whose coefficient is the regression intercept, is = + where y is an n × 1 vector of dependent variable observations, each column of the n × k matrix X is a vector of observations on one of the k explanators, is a k × 1 vector of true coefficients, and e is an n× 1 vector of the ...

  4. Residual (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_(numerical_analysis)

    When one does not know the exact solution, one may look for the approximation with small residual. Residuals appear in many areas in mathematics, including iterative solvers such as the generalized minimal residual method , which seeks solutions to equations by systematically minimizing the residual.

  5. Root mean square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation

    These deviations are called residuals when the calculations are performed over the data sample that was used for estimation (and are therefore always in reference to an estimate) and are called errors (or prediction errors) when computed out-of-sample (aka on the full set, referencing a true value rather than an estimate). The RMSD serves to ...

  6. Deviation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics and statistics, deviation serves as a measure to quantify the disparity between an observed value of a variable and another designated value, frequently the mean of that variable. Deviations with respect to the sample mean and the population mean (or "true value") are called errors and residuals, respectively.

  7. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.

  8. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    On the other hand, a negative correlation will further increase the variance of the difference, compared to the uncorrelated case. For example, the self-subtraction f = A − A has zero variance σ f 2 = 0 {\displaystyle \sigma _{f}^{2}=0} only if the variate is perfectly autocorrelated ( ρ A = 1 {\displaystyle \rho _{A}=1} ).

  9. Deviance (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, deviance is a goodness-of-fit statistic for a statistical model; it is often used for statistical hypothesis testing.It is a generalization of the idea of using the sum of squares of residuals (SSR) in ordinary least squares to cases where model-fitting is achieved by maximum likelihood.
