  2. Probability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_theory

    Probability theory or probability calculus is the branch of mathematics concerned with probability. Although there are several different probability interpretations, probability theory treats the concept in a rigorous mathematical manner by expressing it through a set of axioms. Typically these axioms formalise probability in terms of a ...

  3. History of probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_probability

    The mathematical sense of the term is from 1718. In the 18th century, the term chance was also used in the mathematical sense of "probability" (and probability theory was called Doctrine of Chances). This word is ultimately from Latin cadentia, i.e. "a fall, case". The English adjective likely is of Germanic origin, most likely from Old Norse ...

  4. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    Probability is the branch of mathematics 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] A simple example is the tossing of a fair (unbiased) coin. Since the coin is fair, the ...

  5. Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem

    Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule, after Thomas Bayes) gives a mathematical rule for inverting conditional probabilities, allowing us to find the probability of a cause given its effect. [1] For example, if the risk of developing health problems is known to increase with age, Bayes' theorem allows the risk to an individual ...

  6. List of theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_theorems

    This is a list of notable theorems. Lists of theorems and similar statements include: List of algebras. List of algorithms. List of axioms. List of conjectures. List of data structures. List of derivatives and integrals in alternative calculi. List of equations.

  7. Mathematical statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_statistics

    t. e. Mathematical statistics is the application of probability theory, a branch of mathematics, to statistics, as opposed to techniques for collecting statistical data. Specific mathematical techniques which are used for this include mathematical analysis, linear algebra, stochastic analysis, differential equations, and measure theory. [1][2]

  8. Bayesian inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_inference

    t. e. Bayesian inference (/ ˈbeɪziən / BAY-zee-ən or / ˈbeɪʒən / BAY-zhən) [1] is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available. Fundamentally, Bayesian inference uses prior knowledge, in the form of a prior distribution in ...

  9. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Mode (statistics) In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. [1] If X is a discrete random variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function takes its maximum value (i.e., x=argmaxxi P (X = xi)). In other words, it is the value that is most likely to be sampled.
