2Sample (statistics) — In statistics, a sample is a subset of a population. Typically, the population is very large, making a census or a complete enumeration of all the values in the population impractical or impossible. The sample represents a subset of manageable… …
3probability sampling — random sampling A sampling procedure in which each element of a population has a known chance of being selected for the sample Apart from simple random sampling, this includes certain forms of stratified sampling and systematic sampling The… …
4Probability theory — is the branch of mathematics concerned with analysis of random phenomena.[1] The central objects of probability theory are random variables, stochastic processes, and events: mathematical abstractions of non deterministic events or measured… …
5Sample size determination — is the act of choosing the number of observations to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample …
6Sample mean and sample covariance — are statistics computed from a collection of data, thought of as being random.ample mean and covarianceGiven a random sample extstyle mathbf{x} {1},ldots,mathbf{x} {N} from an extstyle n dimensional random variable extstyle mathbf{X} (i.e.,… …
7probability theory — Math., Statistics. the theory of analyzing and making statements concerning the probability of the occurrence of uncertain events. Cf. probability (def. 4). [1830 40] * * * Branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of random events.… …
8Probability space — This article is about mathematical term. For the novel, see Probability Space (novel). In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple is a mathematical construct that models a real world process (or experiment ) consisting of… …
9Probability-generating function — In probability theory, the probability generating function of a discrete random variable is a power series representation (the generating function) of the probability mass function of the random variable. Probability generating functions are… …
10Sample size — The sample size of a statistical sample is the number of observations that constitute it. It is typically denoted n , a positive integer (natural number).Typically, all else being equal, a larger sample size leads to increased precision in… …
