  2. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

  3. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Discrete probability distribution: for many random variables with finitely or countably infinitely many values. Probability mass function (pmf): function that gives the probability that a discrete random variable is equal to some value. Frequency distribution: a table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample.

  4. Frequentist probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequentist_probability

    John Venn, who provided a thorough exposition of frequentist probability in his book, The Logic of Chance [1]. Frequentist probability or frequentism is an interpretation of probability; it defines an event's probability as the limit of its relative frequency in infinitely many trials (the long-run probability). [2]

    The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, also known as the fatigue life distribution, is a probability distribution used extensively in reliability applications to model failure times. The chi distribution. The noncentral chi distribution; The chi-squared distribution, which is the sum of the squares of n independent Gaussian random variables.

  6. Probability distribution fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution...

    Probability distribution fitting or simply distribution fitting is the fitting of a probability distribution to a series of data concerning the repeated measurement of a variable phenomenon. The aim of distribution fitting is to predict the probability or to forecast the frequency of occurrence of the magnitude of the phenomenon in a certain ...

  7. Frequentist inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequentist_inference

    Frequentist inference is a type of statistical inference based in frequentist probability, which treats “probability” in equivalent terms to “frequency” and draws conclusions from sample-data by means of emphasizing the frequency or proportion of findings in the data.

  8. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    A likelihood function (often simply called the likelihood) measures how well a statistical model explains observed data by calculating the probability of seeing that data under different parameter values of the model. It is constructed from the joint probability distribution of the random variable that (presumably) generated the observations.

  9. Probability mass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_mass_function

    The graph of a probability mass function. All the values of this function must be non-negative and sum up to 1. In probability and statistics, a probability mass function (sometimes called probability function or frequency function [1]) is a function that gives the probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value.
