91Neyman-Pearson lemma — In statistics, the Neyman Pearson lemma states that when performing a hypothesis test between two point hypotheses H 0: θ = θ 0 and H 1: θ = θ 1, then the likelihood ratio test which rejects H 0 in favour of H 1 when:Lambda(x)=frac{ L( heta {0}… …
92Tajima's D — is a statistical test created by and named after the Japanese researcher Fumio Tajima. The purpose of the test is to distinguish between a DNA sequence evolving randomly ( neutrally ) versus one evolving under a non random process, including… …
93Minimum distance estimation — (MDE) is a statistical method for fitting a mathematical model to data, usually the empirical distribution. Contents 1 Definition 2 Statistics used in estimation 2.1 Chi square criterion …
94Monotone likelihood ratio — A monotonic likelihood ratio in distributions f(x) and g(x) The ratio of the density functions above is increasing in the parameter x, so f(x)/g(x) satisfies the monotone likelihood ratio property. In statistics, the monoto …
95Kurtosis — 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… …
96Beta distribution — Probability distribution name =Beta| type =density pdf cdf parameters =alpha > 0 shape (real) eta > 0 shape (real) support =x in [0; 1] ! pdf =frac{x^{alpha 1}(1 x)^{eta 1 {mathrm{B}(alpha,eta)}! cdf =I x(alpha,eta)! mean… …
97Expectation-maximization algorithm — An expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is used in statistics for finding maximum likelihood estimates of parameters in probabilistic models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. EM alternates between performing an… …
98Loss function — In statistics and decision theory a loss function is a function that maps an event onto a real number intuitively representing some cost associated with the event. Typically it is used for parameter estimation, and the event in question is some… …
99System identification — In control engineering, the field of system identification uses statistical methods to build mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured data. System identification also includes the optimal design of experiments for efficiently… …
100The Dark Energy Survey — DES logo The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a survey that aims to probe the dynamics of the expansion of the universe and the growth of large scale structure. The collaboration is composed of research institutes and universities from United… …
