    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_viability_analysis

    Population viability analysis (PVA) is a species-specific method of risk assessment frequently used in conservation biology. It is traditionally defined as the process that determines the probability that a population will go extinct within a given number of years.

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_access_principle

    The uniform access principle of computer programming was put forth by Bertrand Meyer (originally in his book Object-Oriented Software Construction).It states "All services offered by a module should be available through a uniform notation, which does not betray whether they are implemented through storage or through computation."
