  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable.The general form of its probability density function is [2] [3] = ().

  4. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  5. Confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

    A 95% confidence level does not mean that 95% of the sample data lie within the confidence interval. A 95% confidence level does not mean that there is a 95% probability of the parameter estimate from a repeat of the experiment falling within the confidence interval computed from a given experiment.

  6. Kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

    Whenever a data point falls inside this interval, a box of height 1/12 is placed there. If more than one data point falls inside the same bin, the boxes are stacked on top of each other. For the kernel density estimate, normal kernels with a standard deviation of 1.5 (indicated by the red dashed lines) are placed on each of the data points x i ...

  7. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    According to this formula, the power increases with the values of the effect size and the sample size n, and reduces with increasing variability . In the trivial case of zero effect size, power is at a minimum ( infimum ) and equal to the significance level of the test α , {\displaystyle \alpha \,,} in this example 0.05.

  8. F-test of equality of variances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-test_of_equality_of...

    In statistics, an F-test of equality of variances is a test for the null hypothesis that two normal populations have the same variance.Notionally, any F-test can be regarded as a comparison of two variances, but the specific case being discussed in this article is that of two populations, where the test statistic used is the ratio of two sample variances.
