maximum likelihood
81Quantitative comparative linguistics — is a branch of comparative linguistics that applies mathematical models to the problem of classifying language relatedness. This includes the use of computational phylogenetics and cladistics to define an optimal tree (or network) to represent a… …
82Rasch model estimation — Various techniques are employed in order to estimate parameters of the Rasch model from matrices of response data. The most common approaches are methods of maximum likelihood estimation, such as joint and conditional maximum likelihood… …
83Decoding methods — In communication theory and coding theory, decoding is the process of translating received messages into codewords of a given code. There has been many common methods of mapping messages to codewords. These are often used to recover messages sent …
84M-estimator — In statistics, M estimators are a broad class of statistics which are obtained as the solution to the problem of minimizing certain functions of the data. The process of obtaining an M estimator is called M estimation.Some authors define M… …
85Sufficient statistic — In statistics, a sufficient statistic is a statistic which has the property of sufficiency with respect to a statistical model and its associated unknown parameter, meaning that no other statistic which can be calculated from the same sample… …
86Linear 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… …
87CMA-ES — stands for Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy. Evolution strategies (ES) are stochastic, derivative free methods for numerical optimization of non linear or non convex continuous optimization problems. They belong to the class of… …
88Decodierregel — Eine Decodierregel bezeichnet in der Informationstheorie und Codierungstheorie, genauer bei der Kanalcodierung, eine Vorschrift, welches gesendete Wort einem empfangenen Wort zugeordnet werden soll. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Beschreibung 2 Minimum… …
89Generalized linear model — In statistics, the generalized linear model (GLM) is a flexible generalization of ordinary least squares regression. It relates the random distribution of the measured variable of the experiment (the distribution function ) to the systematic (non …
90Method of moments (statistics) — See method of moments (probability theory) for an account of a technique for proving convergence in distribution. In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters such as mean, variance, median, etc. (which… …
