  2. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

  3. Zipf's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law

    In the parabolic fractal distribution, the logarithm of the frequency is a quadratic polynomial of the logarithm of the rank. This can markedly improve the fit over a simple power-law relationship. [36] Like fractal dimension, it is possible to calculate Zipf dimension, which is a useful parameter in the analysis of texts. [37]

  4. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Frequency distribution: a table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample. Relative frequency distribution: a frequency distribution where each value has been divided (normalized) by a number of outcomes in a sample (i.e. sample size). Categorical distribution: for discrete random variables with a finite set of values.

  5. CumFreq - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CumFreq

    Probability distribution calculator as used in the CumFreq software. The software offers the option to use a probability distribution calculator. The cumulative frequency and the return period are give as a function of data value as input. In addition, the confidence intervals are shown.

  6. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    Sturges's rule [10] is derived from a binomial distribution and implicitly assumes an approximately normal distribution. k = ⌈ log 2 ⁡ n ⌉ + 1 , {\displaystyle k=\lceil \log _{2}n\rceil +1,\,} Sturges's formula implicitly bases bin sizes on the range of the data, and can perform poorly if n < 30 , because the number of bins will be small ...

  7. Contingency table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency_table

    In statistics, a contingency table (also known as a cross tabulation or crosstab) is a type of table in a matrix format that displays the multivariate frequency distribution of the variables. They are heavily used in survey research, business intelligence, engineering, and scientific research.

  8. Cumulative frequency analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_frequency_analysis

    Cumulative frequency distribution, adapted cumulative probability distribution, and confidence intervals. Cumulative frequency analysis is the analysis of the frequency of occurrence of values of a phenomenon less than a reference value. The phenomenon may be time- or space-dependent. Cumulative frequency is also called frequency of non-exceedance.

  9. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    A frequency distribution is constructed. The centroid of the distribution gives its mean. A square with sides equal to the difference of each value from the mean is formed for each value. Arranging the squares into a rectangle with one side equal to the number of values, n, results in the other side being the distribution's variance, σ 2.
