  2. Random variate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variate

    Then a random variate generation algorithm is any program that halts almost surely and exits with a real number x. This x is called a random variate. (Both assumptions are violated in most real computers. Computers necessarily lack the ability to manipulate real numbers, typically using floating point representations instead.

  3. Variable and attribute (research) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_and_attribute...

    How high, or how low, is determined by the value of the attribute (and in fact, an attribute could be just the word "low" or "high"). [1] (For example see: Binary option) While an attribute is often intuitive, the variable is the operationalized way in which the attribute is represented for further data processing.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_experimental...

    Design Point: A single combination of settings for the independent variables of an experiment. A Design of Experiments will result in a set of design points, and each design point is designed to be executed one or more times, with the number of iterations based on the required statistical significance for the experiment.

  5. Variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

    In other words, the variance of X is equal to the mean of the square of X minus the square of the mean of X. This equation should not be used for computations using floating point arithmetic , because it suffers from catastrophic cancellation if the two components of the equation are similar in magnitude.

  6. Scientific terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_terminology

    Scientific terminology is the part of the language that is used by scientists in the context of their professional activities. While studying nature, scientists often encounter or create new material or immaterial objects and concepts and are compelled to name them.

  7. Multivariate analysis of variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_analysis_of...

    The image above depicts a visual comparison between multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). In MANOVA, researchers are examining the group differences of a singular independent variable across multiple outcome variables, whereas in an ANOVA, researchers are examining the group differences of sometimes multiple independent variables on a singular ...

  8. Random variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variable

    The term 'random variable' in its mathematical definition refers to neither randomness nor variability [2] but instead is a mathematical function in which the domain is the set of possible outcomes in a sample space (e.g. the set { H , T } {\displaystyle \{H,T\}} which are the possible upper sides of a flipped coin heads H {\displaystyle H} or ...

  9. Ratio estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    Another estimator based on the Taylor expansion is [3] = where n is the sample size, N is the population size, m x is the mean of the x variate and s x 2 and s y 2 are the sample variances of the x and y variates respectively.
