  2. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    The difference of two squares can also be illustrated geometrically as the difference of two square areas in a plane. In the diagram, the shaded part represents the difference between the areas of the two squares, i.e. a 2 − b 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}-b^{2}} .

  3. Contrast (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A contrast is defined as the sum of each group mean multiplied by a coefficient for each group (i.e., a signed number, c j). [10] In equation form, = ¯ + ¯ + + ¯ ¯, where L is the weighted sum of group means, the c j coefficients represent the assigned weights of the means (these must sum to 0 for orthogonal contrasts), and ¯ j represents the group means. [8]

  4. Chi-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_test

    A chi-squared test (also chi-square or χ 2 test) is a statistical hypothesis test used in the analysis of contingency tables when the sample sizes are large. In simpler terms, this test is primarily used to examine whether two categorical variables ( two dimensions of the contingency table ) are independent in influencing the test statistic ...

  5. Least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

    The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function Conic fitting a set of points using least-squares approximation. In regression analysis, least squares is a parameter estimation method based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals (a residual being the difference between an observed value and the fitted value provided by a model) made in the results of each ...

  6. Talk:Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Difference_of_two_squares

    The concept of "adjacent" squares loses its meaning and actually any real number can be expressed as a difference of squares in infinitely many ways. My view is that it would be more interesting to discuss how the difference of consecutive perfect squares leads to a recursive formula for calculating the n th perfect square from the previous one ...

  7. Student's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-test

    The difference between the two sample means, each denoted by X i, which appears in the numerator for all the two-sample testing approaches discussed above, is ¯ ¯ = The sample standard deviations for the two samples are approximately 0.05 and 0.11, respectively. For such small samples, a test of equality between the two population variances ...

  8. Sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares

    The squared Euclidean distance between two points, equal to the sum of squares of the differences between their coordinates; Heron's formula for the area of a triangle can be re-written as using the sums of squares of a triangle's sides (and the sums of the squares of squares) The British flag theorem for rectangles equates two sums of two squares

  9. Expected mean squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_mean_squares

    In statistics, expected mean squares (EMS) are the expected values of certain statistics arising in partitions of sums of squares in the analysis of variance (ANOVA). They can be used for ascertaining which statistic should appear in the denominator in an F-test for testing a null hypothesis that a particular effect is absent.
