product-moment correlation coefficient
51Skewness — Example of experimental data with non zero (positive) skewness (gravitropic response of wheat coleoptiles, 1,790) In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real valued random …
52Covariance — This article is about the measure of linear relation between random variables. For other uses, see Covariance (disambiguation). In probability theory and statistics, covariance is a measure of how much two variables change together. Variance is a …
53Regression toward the mean — In statistics, regression toward the mean (also known as regression to the mean) is the phenomenon that if a variable is extreme on its first measurement, it will tend to be closer to the average on a second measurement, and a fact that may… …
54Effect size — In statistics, an effect size is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables in a statistical population, or a sample based estimate of that quantity. An effect size calculated from data is a descriptive statistic that… …
55Q-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… …
56Cramér's V —     Cramér s V (φc) In statistics, Cramér s V (sometimes referred to as Cramér s phi and denoted as φc) is a popular[citation needed] measure of association between two nominal variables, giving a value between 0 and +1 (inclusive). It… …
57Least squares — The method of least squares is a standard approach to the approximate solution of overdetermined systems, i.e., sets of equations in which there are more equations than unknowns. Least squares means that the overall solution minimizes the sum of… …
58Kurtosis — In probability theory and statistics, kurtosis (from the Greek word κυρτός, kyrtos or kurtos, meaning bulging) is any measure of the peakedness of the probability distribution of a real valued random variable.[1] In a similar way to the concept… …
59Statistical dispersion — In statistics, statistical dispersion (also called statistical variability or variation) is variability or spread in a variable or a probability distribution. Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard… …
