21German tank problem — During World War II, production of German tanks such as the Panther was accurately estimated by Allied intelligence using statistical methods. In the statistical theory of estimation, estimating the maximum of a uniform distribution is a common… …
22Minimax estimator — In statistical decision theory, where we are faced with the problem of estimating a deterministic parameter (vector) from observations an estimator (estimation rule) is called minimax if its maximal risk is minimal among all estimators of . In a… …
23Sample 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 …
24Heritability — is the proportion of phenotypic variation in a population that is due to genetic variation between individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic, environmental factors, and/or random chance[1]. Heritability analyzes… …

27Ka/Ks ratio — In genetics, the Ka/Ks ratio (or ω, dN/dS), is the ratio of the rate of non synonymous substitutions (Ka) to the rate of synonymous substitutions (Ks), which can be used as an indicator of selective pressure acting on a protein coding gene.… …
28Planning poker — is a consensus based estimation technique for estimating, mostly used to estimate effort or relative size of tasks in software development. It is a variation of the Wideband Delphi method. It is most commonly used in agile software development,… …
29Civil estimator — A Civil Estimator is a construction professional who bids on civil projects that have gone to tender. Civil estimators typically have a background in civil engineering, construction project management, or construction supervision. Estimators are… …
30Cost estimation in software engineering — The ability to accurately estimate the time and/or cost taken for a project to come in to its successful conclusion is a serious problem for software engineers. The use of a repeatable, clearly defined and well understood software development… …
