  2. Rule of three (statistics) - Wikipedia

    The rule can then be derived [2] either from the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution, or from the formula (1−p) n for the probability of zero events in the binomial distribution. In the latter case, the edge of the confidence interval is given by Pr( X = 0) = 0.05 and hence (1− p ) n = .05 so n ln (1– p ) = ln .05 ≈ −2.996.

    In the first example provided above, the sex of the patient would be a nuisance variable. For example, consider if the drug was a diet pill and the researchers wanted to test the effect of the diet pills on weight loss. The explanatory variable is the diet pill and the response variable is the amount of weight loss.

  4. Scott's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott's_Rule

    This rule is also called the oversmoothed rule [7] or the Rice rule, [8] so called because both authors worked at Rice University. The Rice rule is often reported with the factor of 2 outside the cube root, () /, and may be considered a different rule. The key difference from Scott's rule is that this rule does not assume the data is normally ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    The principle can be viewed as an example of the sieve method extensively used in number theory and is sometimes referred to as the sieve formula. [ 4 ] As finite probabilities are computed as counts relative to the cardinality of the probability space , the formulas for the principle of inclusion–exclusion remain valid when the cardinalities ...

    The term "histogram" was first introduced by Karl Pearson, the founder of mathematical statistics, in lectures delivered in 1892 at University College London.Pearson's term is sometimes incorrectly said to combine the Greek root γραμμα (gramma) = "figure" or "drawing" with the root ἱστορία (historia) = "inquiry" or "history".

  8. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.

  9. Sturges's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturges's_rule

    Sturges's rule [1] is a method to choose the number of bins for a histogram. Given observations, Sturges's rule suggests using ^ = + ⁡ bins in the histogram. This rule is widely employed in data analysis software including Python [2] and R, where it is the default bin selection method. [3]
