  2. Linear trend estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_trend_estimation

    Consider a concrete example, such as the global surface temperature record of the past 140 years as presented by the IPCC. [3] The interannual variation is about 0.2 °C, and the trend is about 0.6 °C over 140 years, with 95% confidence limits of 0.2 °C (by coincidence, about the same value as the interannual variation).

  3. Knee of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_of_a_curve

    Photovoltaic solar cell I-V curves where a line intersects the knee of the curves where the maximum power transfer point is located. In mathematics , a knee of a curve (or elbow of a curve ) is a point where the curve visibly bends, specifically from high slope to low slope (flat or close to flat), or in the other direction.

  4. Decision curve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_curve_analysis

    Example decision curve analysis graph with two predictors. A decision curve analysis graph is drawn by plotting threshold probability on the horizontal axis and net benefit on the vertical axis, illustrating the trade-offs between benefit (true positives) and harm (false positives) as the threshold probability (preference) is varied across a range of reasonable threshold probabilities.

  5. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    This probability is given by the integral of this variable's PDF over that range—that is, it is given by the area under the density function but above the horizontal axis and between the lowest and greatest values of the range. The probability density function is nonnegative everywhere, and the area under the entire curve is equal to 1.

  6. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Given the two red points, the blue line is the linear interpolant between the points, and the value y at x may be found by linear interpolation.. In mathematics, linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials to construct new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

  7. Statistical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_distance

    In statistics, probability theory, and information theory, a statistical distance quantifies the distance between two statistical objects, which can be two random variables, or two probability distributions or samples, or the distance can be between an individual sample point and a population or a wider sample of points.

  8. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    Sigmoid curves are also common in statistics as cumulative distribution functions (which go from 0 to 1), such as the integrals of the logistic density, the normal density, and Student's t probability density functions. The logistic sigmoid function is invertible, and its inverse is the logit function.

  9. Q–Q plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q–Q_plot

    Thus, the Q–Q plot is a parametric curve indexed over [0,1] with values in the real plane R 2. Typically for an analysis of normality, the vertical axis shows the values of the variable of interest, say x with CDF F(x), and the horizontal axis represents N −1 (F(x)), where N −1 (.) represents the inverse cumulative normal distribution ...
