62Bayesian experimental design — provides a general probability theoretical framework from which other theories on experimental design can be derived. It is based on Bayesian inference to interpret the observations/data acquired during the experiment. This allows accounting for… …
63Q-Q plot — Not to be confused with P P plot. A normal Q Q plot of randomly generated, independent standard exponential data, (X   Exp(1)). This Q Q plot compares a sample of data on the vertical axis to a statistical population on the horizontal… …
64Cross-validation (statistics) — Cross validation, sometimes called rotation estimation,[1][2][3] is a technique for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent data set. It is mainly used in settings where the goal is prediction, and… …
65Meta-analysis — In statistics, a meta analysis combines the results of several studies that address a set of related research hypotheses. In its simplest form, this is normally by identification of a common measure of effect size, for which a weighted average… …
66Methods engineering — Not to be confused with Method engineering in the field of information systems. Methods engineering is a subspecialty of Industrial engineering concerned with human integration in industrial production processes.[1] Contents 1 Overview 2 Methods… …
67Arithmetic mean — In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean, often referred to as simply the mean or average when the context is clear, is a method to derive the central tendency of a sample space. The term arithmetic mean is preferred in mathematics and… …
68Graeco-Latin square — Orthogonal Latin squares of order 3 Orthogonal Latin squares of order 5 In mathematics, a Graeco Latin square or Euler square or orthogonal Latin squares of order n over two …
69Covariate — In statistics, a covariate is a variable that is possibly predictive of the outcome under study. A covariate may be of direct interest or it may be a confounding or interacting variable. The alternative terms explanatory variable, independent… …
70Restricted randomization — Many processes have more than one source of variation in them. In order to reduce variation in processes, these multiple sources must be understood, and that often leads to the concept of nested or hierarchical data structures. For example, in… …
