  2. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    The intervals are placed together in order to show that the data represented by the histogram, while exclusive, is also contiguous. (E.g., in a histogram it is possible to have two connecting intervals of 10.5–20.5 and 20.5–33.5, but not two connecting intervals of 10.5–20.5 and 22.5–32.5.

    where ⁡ is the interquartile range of the data and is the number of observations in the sample . In fact if the normal density is used the factor 2 in front comes out to be ∼ 2.59 {\displaystyle \sim 2.59} , [ 4 ] but 2 is the factor recommended by Freedman and Diaconis.

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

    Statistical graphics developed through attention to four problems: [3] Spatial organization in the 17th and 18th century; Discrete comparison in the 18th and early 19th century; Continuous distribution in the 19th century and; Multivariate distribution and correlation in the late 19th and 20th century.

  6. Sturges's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturges's_rule

    Sturges's rule [1] is a method to choose the number of bins for a histogram.Given observations, Sturges's rule suggests using ^ = + ⁡ bins in the histogram. This rule is widely employed in data analysis software including Python [2] and R, where it is the default bin selection method.

  7. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    The Poisson distribution, which describes a very large number of individually unlikely events that happen in a certain time interval. Related to this distribution are a number of other distributions: the displaced Poisson , the hyper-Poisson, the general Poisson binomial and the Poisson type distributions.

  8. Range (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In descriptive statistics, the range of a set of data is size of the narrowest interval which contains all the data. It is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values (also known as the sample maximum and minimum). [1] It is expressed in the same units as the data. The range provides an indication of statistical ...

  9. Data binning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_binning

    Data binning, also called data discrete binning or data bucketing, is a data pre-processing technique used to reduce the effects of minor observation errors.The original data values which fall into a given small interval, a bin, are replaced by a value representative of that interval, often a central value (mean or median).
