Parent topics
- Mathematics [r]: The study of quantities, structures, their relations, and changes thereof. [e]
- Scientific method [r]: The concept of systematic inquiry based on hypotheses and their testing in light of empirical evidence. [e]
Related topics
- Statistics theory [r]: A branch of mathematics that specializes in enumeration, or counted, data and their relation to measured data. [e]
- Factor analysis [r]: Statistical technique used to explain variability among observed random variables in terms of fewer unobserved random variables called factors. [e]
- Psychometrics [r]: Field of study concerned with the theory and technique of educational and psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits. [e]
Glossary
- Mean [r]: e.g. "arithmetic mean", being the sum of n observations divided by n, or "geometric mean", being the nth root of the product of n observations. [e]
- Median (statistics) [r]: The value of a numerical or linearly ordered sample for which one half of the observations lie above and one half lie below that value. [e]
- Mode (statistics) [r]: the most frequently ocurring value. [e]
- Normal distribution [r]: a symmetrical bell-shaped probability distribution representing the frequency of random variations of a quantity from its mean. [e]
- Standard deviation [r]: A statistical measure for the fluctuation of a random variable about its mean value (the square root of the variance). [e]
- Variance [r]: A statistical measure of the variability of a random quantity (defined as the mean squared deviation from the mean value). [e]
