  2. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    For the statistic t, with ν degrees of freedom, A(t | ν) is the probability that t would be less than the observed value if the two means were the same (provided that the smaller mean is subtracted from the larger, so that t ≥ 0). It can be easily calculated from the cumulative distribution function F ν (t) of the t distribution:

  3. Coupon collector's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon_collector's_problem

    Graph of number of coupons, n vs the expected number of trials (i.e., time) needed to collect them all E (T ) In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests.

  4. Test statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_statistic

    If there is interest in the marginal probability of obtaining a tail, only the number T out of the 100 flips that produced a tail needs to be recorded. But T can also be used as a test statistic in one of two ways: the exact sampling distribution of T under the null hypothesis is the binomial distribution with parameters 0.5 and 100.

  5. Random walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk

    As the step size tends to 0 (and the number of steps increases proportionally), random walk converges to a Wiener process in an appropriate sense. Formally, if B is the space of all paths of length L with the maximum topology, and if M is the space of measure over B with the norm topology, then the convergence is in the space M. Similarly, a ...

  6. Conditional probability table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability_table

    The first column sum is the probability that x =0 and y equals any of the values it can have – that is, the column sum 6/9 is the marginal probability that x=0. If we want to find the probability that y=0 given that x=0, we compute the fraction of the probabilities in the x=0 column that have the value y=0, which is 4/9 ÷

  7. Noncentral t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution

    However, the central t-distribution can be used as an approximation to the noncentral t-distribution. [7] If T is noncentral t-distributed with ν degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter μ and F = T 2, then F has a noncentral F-distribution with 1 numerator degree of freedom, ν denominator degrees of freedom, and noncentrality ...

  8. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    The probabilities of rolling several numbers using two dice. Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur.

  9. Decision curve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_curve_analysis

    Example decision curve analysis graph with two predictors. A decision curve analysis graph is drawn by plotting threshold probability on the horizontal axis and net benefit on the vertical axis, illustrating the trade-offs between benefit (true positives) and harm (false positives) as the threshold probability (preference) is varied across a range of reasonable threshold probabilities.
