31Degrees of freedom (statistics) — In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.[1] Estimates of statistical parameters can be based upon different amounts of information or data. The number… …
32Robust regression — In robust statistics, robust regression is a form of regression analysis designed to circumvent some limitations of traditional parametric and non parametric methods. Regression analysis seeks to find the effect of one or more independent… …

37Analysis of covariance — (ANCOVA) is a general linear model with one continuous outcome variable and one or more factors. ANCOVA is a merger of ANOVA and regression for continuous variables. ANCOVA tests whether certain factors have an effect on the outcome variable… …
38Chi-squared test — Chi square test is often shorthand for Pearson s chi square test. A chi square test, also referred to as chi squared test or χ2 test, is any statistical hypothesis test in which the sampling distribution of the test statistic is a chi square… …
39Statistical 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… …
