  2. Jenks natural breaks optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenks_natural_breaks...

    The method requires an iterative process. That is, calculations must be repeated using different breaks in the dataset to determine which set of breaks has the smallest in-class variance. The process is started by dividing the ordered data into classes in some way which may be arbitrary. There are two steps that must be repeated:

  3. Decision boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_boundary

    Decision boundaries are not always clear cut. That is, the transition from one class in the feature space to another is not discontinuous, but gradual. This effect is common in fuzzy logic based classification algorithms, where membership in one class or another is ambiguous. Decision boundaries can be approximations of optimal stopping boundaries.

  4. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is [ 2 ] [ 3 ] f ( x ) = 1 2 π σ 2 e − ( x − μ ) 2 2 σ 2 . {\displaystyle f(x)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi \sigma ^{2 ...

  5. Intraclass correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraclass_correlation

    In statistics, the intraclass correlation, or the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), [1] is a descriptive statistic that can be used when quantitative measurements are made on units that are organized into groups. It describes how strongly units in the same group resemble each other.

  6. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    In statistics, where classification is often done with logistic regression or a similar procedure, the properties of observations are termed explanatory variables (or independent variables, regressors, etc.), and the categories to be predicted are known as outcomes, which are considered to be possible values of the dependent variable.

  7. Blocking (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In the statistical theory of the design of experiments, blocking is the arranging of experimental units that are similar to one another in groups (blocks) based on one or more variables.

  8. Boundary problem (spatial analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_problem_(spatial...

    That is, for measurement or administrative purposes, geographic boundaries are drawn, but the boundaries per se can bring about different spatial patterns in geographic phenomena. [5] It has been reported that the difference in the way of drawing the boundary significantly affects identification of the spatial distribution and estimation of the ...

  9. Determining the number of clusters in a data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determining_the_number_of...

    The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest.
