[1] [2] Also dating from the latter half of the 19th century, the inequality attributed to Chebyshev described bounds on a distribution when only the mean and variance of the variable are known, and the related inequality attributed to Markov found bounds on a positive variable when only the mean is known.
The result is named in honor of Harald Cramér and Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, [1] [2] [3] but has also been derived independently by Maurice Fréchet, [4] Georges Darmois, [5] and by Alexander Aitken and Harold Silverstone. [6] [7] It is also known as Fréchet-Cramér–Rao
Confidence bands can be constructed around estimates of the empirical distribution function.Simple theory allows the construction of point-wise confidence intervals, but it is also possible to construct a simultaneous confidence band for the cumulative distribution function as a whole by inverting the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, or by using non-parametric likelihood methods.
Given a sample from a normal distribution, whose parameters are unknown, it is possible to give prediction intervals in the frequentist sense, i.e., an interval [a, b] based on statistics of the sample such that on repeated experiments, X n+1 falls in the interval the desired percentage of the time; one may call these "predictive confidence intervals".
In variational Bayesian methods, the evidence lower bound (often abbreviated ELBO, also sometimes called the variational lower bound [1] or negative variational free energy) is a useful lower bound on the log-likelihood of some observed data.
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
P(at least one estimation is bad) = 0.05 ≤ P(A 1 is bad) + P(A 2 is bad) + P(A 3 is bad) + P(A 4 is bad) + P(A 5 is bad) One way is to make each of them equal to 0.05/5 = 0.01, that is 1%. In other words, you have to guarantee each estimate good to 99%( for example, by constructing a 99% confidence interval) to make sure the total estimation ...
The lower quartile corresponds with the 25th percentile and the upper quartile corresponds with the 75th percentile, so IQR = Q 3 − Q 1 [1]. The IQR is an example of a trimmed estimator , defined as the 25% trimmed range , which enhances the accuracy of dataset statistics by dropping lower contribution, outlying points. [ 5 ]
