  2. Observed information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observed_information

    In statistics, the observed information, or observed Fisher information, is the negative of the second derivative (the Hessian matrix) of the "log-likelihood" (the logarithm of the likelihood function). It is a sample-based version of the Fisher information.

  3. Fisher information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_information

    In mathematical statistics, the Fisher information is a way of measuring the amount of information that an observable random variable X carries about an unknown parameter θ of a distribution that models X. Formally, it is the variance of the score, or the expected value of the observed information.

  4. Statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics

    In business, "statistics" is a widely used management-and decision support tool. It is particularly applied in financial management, marketing management, and production, services and operations management. [69] [70] Statistics is also heavily used in management accounting and auditing.

  5. Latent and observable variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_and_observable...

    In statistics, latent variables (from Latin: present participle of lateo, “lie hidden” [1]) are variables that can only be inferred indirectly through a mathematical model from other observable variables that can be directly observed or measured. [2]

  6. Scoring algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoring_algorithm

    Scoring algorithm, also known as Fisher's scoring, [1] is a form of Newton's method used in statistics to solve maximum likelihood equations numerically, named after Ronald Fisher. Sketch of derivation

  7. Likelihoodist statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihoodist_statistics

    Bayesian statistics: Bayesian statistics is an alternative approach to statistical inference that incorporates prior information and updates it using observed data to obtain posterior probabilities. Likelihoodism and Bayesian statistics are compatible in the sense that both methods utilize the likelihood function.

  8. Realization (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realization_(probability)

    In probability and statistics, a realization, observation, or observed value, of a random variable is the value that is actually observed (what actually happened). The random variable itself is the process dictating how the observation comes about.

  9. Statistical inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_inference

    Statistical inference makes propositions about a population, using data drawn from the population with some form of sampling.Given a hypothesis about a population, for which we wish to draw inferences, statistical inference consists of (first) selecting a statistical model of the process that generates the data and (second) deducing propositions from the model.
