  2. Zero-inflated model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-inflated_model

    One well-known zero-inflated model is Diane Lambert's zero-inflated Poisson model, which concerns a random event containing excess zero-count data in unit time. [8] For example, the number of insurance claims within a population for a certain type of risk would be zero-inflated by those people who have not taken out insurance against the risk ...

  3. Hurdle model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdle_model

    A hurdle model is a class of statistical models where a random variable is modelled using two parts, the first of which is the probability of attaining the value 0, and the second part models the probability of the non-zero values. The use of hurdle models is often motivated by an excess of zeroes in the data that is not sufficiently accounted ...

  4. Subject–auxiliary inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject–auxiliary_inversion

    When the movement rule applies, it moves the auxiliary to the beginning of the sentence. [ 5 ] An alternative analysis does not acknowledge the binary division of the clause into subject NP and predicate VP, but rather it places the finite verb as the root of the entire sentence and views the subject as switching to the other side of the finite ...

  5. English grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar

    The first published English grammar was a Pamphlet for Grammar of 1586, written by William Bullokar with the stated goal of demonstrating that English was just as rule-based as Latin. Bullokar's grammar was faithfully modeled on William Lily's Latin grammar, Rudimenta Grammatices (1534), used in English schools at that time, having been ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_subject_rule

    Various core areas for the rule have been proposed, including Yorkshire [2] and southern Scotland. [3] The Northern Subject Rule is also present in Newfoundland English, although a 2011 study by Philip Comeau [4] argues that it differs from the Northern Subject Rule of British dialects, because it is a marker of habitual aspect or verb stativity.

  7. Sentence (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(linguistics)

    In linguistics and grammar, a sentence is a linguistic expression, such as the English example "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."In traditional grammar, it is typically defined as a string of words that expresses a complete thought, or as a unit consisting of a subject and predicate.

  8. Old English grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English_grammar

    The grammar of Old English differs greatly from Modern English, predominantly being much more inflected.As a Germanic language, Old English has a morphological system similar to that of the Proto-Germanic reconstruction, retaining many of the inflections thought to have been common in Proto-Indo-European and also including constructions characteristic of the Germanic daughter languages such as ...

  9. Tobit model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobit_model

    In statistics, a tobit model is any of a class of regression models in which the observed range of the dependent variable is censored in some way. [1] The term was coined by Arthur Goldberger in reference to James Tobin, [2] [a] who developed the model in 1958 to mitigate the problem of zero-inflated data for observations of household expenditure on durable goods.
