101Cross-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… …
102Sequence alignment — In bioinformatics, a sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences.[1]… …
103Computerized adaptive testing — (CAT) is a form of computer based test that adapts to the examinee s ability level. For this reason, it has also been called tailored testing. Contents 1 How CAT works 2 Advantages 3 Disadvantages …
104Mental calculation — comprises arithmetical calculations using only the human brain, with no help from calculators, computers, or pen and paper. People use mental calculation when computing tools are not available, when it is faster than other means of calculation… …
105Monte Carlo methods for electron transport — The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo(MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to… …
106Kalman filter — Roles of the variables in the Kalman filter. (Larger image here) In statistics, the Kalman filter is a mathematical method named after Rudolf E. Kálmán. Its purpose is to use measurements observed over time, containing noise (random variations)… …
107Kriging — is a group of geostatistical techniques to interpolate the value of a random field (e.g., the elevation, z , of the landscape as a function of the geographic location) at an unobserved location from observations of its value at nearby locations.… …
108Uniform distribution (continuous) — Uniform Probability density function Using maximum convention Cumulative distribution function …
109Maximum a posteriori — In statistics, the method of maximum a posteriori (MAP, or posterior mode) estimation can be used to obtain a point estimate of an unobserved quantity on the basis of empirical data. It is closely related to Fisher s method of maximum likelihood… …
