  2. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

    All numbers greater than x and less than x + a fall within that open interval. In mathematics, a real interval is the set of all real numbers lying between two fixed endpoints with no "gaps". Each endpoint is either a real number or positive or negative infinity, indicating the interval extends without a bound. A real interval can contain ...

  3. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

    The main objective of interval arithmetic is to provide a simple way of calculating upper and lower bounds of a function's range in one or more variables. These endpoints are not necessarily the true supremum or infimum of a range since the precise calculation of those values can be difficult or impossible; the bounds only need to contain the function's range as a subset.

  4. Sensitivity and specificity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity

    The red dot indicates the patient with the medical condition. The red background indicates the area where the test predicts the data point to be positive. The true positive in this figure is 6, and false negatives of 0 (because all positive condition is correctly predicted as positive). Therefore, the sensitivity is 100% (from 6 / (6 + 0 ...

  5. Confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

    The confidence interval can be expressed in terms of probability with respect to a single theoretical (yet to be realized) sample: "There is a 95% probability that the 95% confidence interval calculated from a given future sample will cover the true value of the population parameter."

  6. Positive real numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_real_numbers

    In a complex plane, > is identified with the positive real axis, and is usually drawn as a horizontal ray. This ray is used as reference in the polar form of a complex number . The real positive axis corresponds to complex numbers z = | z | e i φ , {\displaystyle z=|z|\mathrm {e} ^{\mathrm {i} \varphi },} with argument φ = 0. {\displaystyle ...

  7. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A great advantage of bootstrap is its simplicity. It is a straightforward way to derive estimates of standard errors and confidence intervals for complex estimators of the distribution, such as percentile points, proportions, Odds ratio, and correlation coefficients.

  8. Credible interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credible_interval

    For the case of a single parameter and data that can be summarised in a single sufficient statistic, it can be shown that the credible interval and the confidence interval coincide if the unknown parameter is a location parameter (i.e. the forward probability function has the form (|) = ()), with a prior that is a uniform flat distribution; [6 ...

  9. Real-root isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-root_isolation

    If the number of sign variations is one, the interval defined by () and () is an isolating interval. Otherwise, one chooses a positive real number b for dividing the interval (0, +∞) into (0, b) and (b, +∞), and, for each subinterval, one composes M with a Möbius transformation that maps the interval onto (0, +∞), for getting two new ...
