  2. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    This follows from the definition of independence in probability: the probabilities of two independent events happening, given a model, is the product of the probabilities. This is particularly important when the events are from independent and identically distributed random variables , such as independent observations or sampling with replacement .

  3. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and...

    A random sample can be thought of as a set of objects that are chosen randomly. More formally, it is "a sequence of independent, identically distributed (IID) random data points." In other words, the terms random sample and IID are synonymous. In statistics, "random sample" is the typical terminology, but in probability, it is more common to ...

  4. Statistical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_model

    A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data (and similar data from a larger population). A statistical model represents, often in considerably idealized form, the data-generating process . [ 1 ]

  5. Probabilistic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_design

    The probabilistic design principles allow for precise determination of failure probability, whereas the classical model assumes absolutely no failure before yield strength. [9] It is clear that the classical applied load vs. yield stress model has limitations, so modeling these variables with a probability distribution to calculate failure ...

  6. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1] [1] [2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to ...

  7. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Given an r-sample statistic, one can create an n-sample statistic by something similar to bootstrapping (taking the average of the statistic over all subsamples of size r). This procedure is known to have certain good properties and the result is a U-statistic. The sample mean and sample variance are of this form, for r = 1 and r = 2.

  8. Sampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A probability sample is a sample in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately determined. The combination of these traits makes it possible to produce unbiased estimates of population totals, by weighting sampled units according to their ...

  9. Probability-proportional-to-size sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability-proportional...

    The pps sampling results in a fixed sample size n (as opposed to Poisson sampling which is similar but results in a random sample size with expectancy of n). When selecting items with replacement the selection procedure is to just draw one item at a time (like getting n draws from a multinomial distribution with N elements, each with their own ...
