conditional predictor
1Conditional random field — A conditional random field (CRF) is a statistical modelling method often applied in pattern recognition. More specifically it is a type of discriminative undirected probabilistic graphical model. It is used to encode known relationships between… …
2Conditional variance — In probability theory and statistics, a conditional variance is the variance of a conditional probability distribution. Particularly in econometrics, the conditional variance is also known as the scedastic function or skedastic function.… …
3Branch predictor — In computer architecture, a branch predictor is the part of a processor that determines whether a conditional branch in the instruction flow of a program is likely to be taken or not. This is called branch prediction. Branch predictors are… …
4Branch target predictor — In computer architecture, a branch target predictor is the part of a processor that predicts the target of a conditional branch or unconditional jump instruction before that instruction has been fetched from the instruction cache. The instruction …
5probability 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.… …
6Linear regression — Example of simple linear regression, which has one independent variable In statistics, linear regression is an approach to modeling the relationship between a scalar variable y and one or more explanatory variables denoted X. The case of one… …
7Conditioning (probability) — Beliefs depend on the available information. This idea is formalized in probability theory by conditioning. Conditional probabilities, conditional expectations and conditional distributions are treated on three levels: discrete probabilities,… …
8animal learning — ▪ zoology Introduction the alternation of behaviour as a result of individual experience. When an organism can perceive and change its behaviour, it is said to learn. That animals can learn seems to go without saying. The cat that… …
9Instrumental variable — In statistics, econometrics, and related disciplines, the method of instrumental variables (IV) is used to estimate causal relationships when controlled experiments are not feasible. Statistically, IV methods allow consistent estimation when the… …
10Newcomb's paradox — Newcomb s paradox, also referred to as Newcomb s problem, is a thought experiment involving a game between two players, one of whom purports to be able to predict the future. Whether the problem is actually a paradox is disputed. Newcomb s… …
