  2. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A visual representation of the sampling process. In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. The subset is meant to reflect the whole ...

  3. Sampling distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_distribution

    In statistics, a sampling distribution or finite-sample distribution is the probability distribution of a given random-sample-based statistic.For an arbitrarily large number of samples where each sample, involving multiple observations (data points), is separately used to compute one value of a statistic (for example, the sample mean or sample variance) per sample, the sampling distribution is ...

  4. Sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling

    Sampling (occupational hygiene), detection of hazardous materials in the workplace Sampling (for testing or analysis), taking a representative portion of a material or product to test (e.g. by physical measurements, chemical analysis, microbiological examination), typically for the purposes of identification, quality control, or regulatory ...

  5. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    For example, systematic random sampling produces a sample for which each individual unit has the same probability of inclusion, but different sets of units have different probabilities of being selected. Samples that are epsem are self weighting, meaning that the inverse of selection probability for each sample is equal.

  6. Survey sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_sampling

    Quota Samples: The sample is designed to include a designated number of people with certain specified characteristics. For example, 100 coffee drinkers. This type of sampling is common in non-probability market research surveys. Convenience Samples: The sample is composed of whatever persons can be most easily accessed to fill out the survey.

  7. Oversampling and undersampling in data analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oversampling_and_under...

    A variety of data re-sampling techniques are implemented in the imbalanced-learn package [1] compatible with the scikit-learn Python library. The re-sampling techniques are implemented in four different categories: undersampling the majority class, oversampling the minority class, combining over and under sampling, and ensembling sampling.

  8. Stratified sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_sampling

    It can produce a weighted mean that has less variability than the arithmetic mean of a simple random sample of the population. In computational statistics , stratified sampling is a method of variance reduction when Monte Carlo methods are used to estimate population statistics from a known population.

  9. Sample mean and covariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_mean_and_covariance

    The sample covariance matrix has in the denominator rather than due to a variant of Bessel's correction: In short, the sample covariance relies on the difference between each observation and the sample mean, but the sample mean is slightly correlated with each observation since it is defined in terms of all observations.
