  2. Median of medians - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_of_medians

    Median of medians. In computer science, the median of medians is an approximate median selection algorithm, frequently used to supply a good pivot for an exact selection algorithm, most commonly quickselect, that selects the k th smallest element of an initially unsorted array. Median of medians finds an approximate median in linear time.

  3. Hodges–Lehmann estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodges–Lehmann_estimator

    In statistics, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a robust and nonparametric estimator of a population's location parameter. For populations that are symmetric about one median, such as the Gaussian or normal distribution or the Student t -distribution, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a consistent and median-unbiased estimate of the population ...

  4. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    Median. Finding the median in sets of data with an odd and even number of values. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.

  5. k-medians clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-medians_clustering

    This relates directly to the k-median problem which is the problem of finding k centers such that the clusters formed by them are the most compact with respect to the 2-norm. Formally, given a set of data points x , the k centers c i are to be chosen so as to minimize the sum of the distances from each x to the nearest c i .

  6. Theil–Sen estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    As defined by Theil (1950), the Theil–Sen estimator of a set of two-dimensional points (xi, yi) is the median m of the slopes (yj − yi)/ (xj − xi) determined by all pairs of sample points. Sen (1968) extended this definition to handle the case in which two data points have the same x coordinate. In Sen's definition, one takes the median ...

  7. Quickselect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickselect

    Yes. In computer science, quickselect is a selection algorithm to find the k th smallest element in an unordered list, also known as the k th order statistic. Like the related quicksort sorting algorithm, it was developed by Tony Hoare, and thus is also known as Hoare's selection algorithm. [1] Like quicksort, it is efficient in practice and ...

  8. Quantile regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_regression

    v. t. e. Quantile regression is a type of regression analysis used in statistics and econometrics. Whereas the method of least squares estimates the conditional mean of the response variable across values of the predictor variables, quantile regression estimates the conditional median (or other quantiles) of the response variable. [There is ...

  9. Median filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_filter

    The median filter operates by considering a local window (also known as a kernel) around each pixel in the image. The steps for applying the median filter are as follows: Window Selection: Choose a window of a specific size (e.g., 3x3, 5x5) centered around the pixel to be filtered. For our example, let’s use a 3x3 window. Collect Pixel Values:
