  2. Data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_set

    The data set lists values for each of the variables, such as for example height and weight of an object, for each member of the data set. Data sets can also consist of a collection of documents or files. [2] In the open data discipline, data set is the unit to measure the information released in a public open data repository. The European data ...

  3. Unit of observation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_observation

    A data point or observation is a set of one or more measurements on a single member of the unit of observation. For example, in a study of the determinants of money demand with the unit of observation being the individual, a data point might be the values of income, wealth, age of individual, and number of dependents.

  4. Training, validation, and test data sets - Wikipedia

    A training data set is a data set of examples used during the learning process and is used to fit the parameters (e.g., weights) of, for example, a classifier. [9] [10]For classification tasks, a supervised learning algorithm looks at the training data set to determine, or learn, the optimal combinations of variables that will generate a good predictive model. [11]

  5. Summary statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary_statistics

    In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible. Statisticians commonly try to describe the observations in a measure of location, or central tendency, such as the arithmetic mean

  6. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    Calculating the median in data sets of odd (above) and even (below) observations. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.

  7. Statistical unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_unit

    In simple data sets, the units are in one-to-one correspondence with the data values. In more complex data sets, multiple measurements are made for each unit. For example, if blood pressure measurements are made daily for a week on each subject in a study, there would be seven data values for each statistical unit.

  8. Panel data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_data

    Panel data is a subset of longitudinal data where observations are for the same subjects each time. Time series and cross-sectional data can be thought of as special cases of panel data that are in one dimension only (one panel member or individual for the former, one time point for the latter). A literature search often involves time series ...

  9. Data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data

    Data are commonly used in scientific research, economics, and virtually every other form of human organizational activity. Examples of data sets include price indices (such as the consumer price index), unemployment rates, literacy rates, and census data. In this context, data represent the raw facts and figures from which useful information ...
