  2. Sample complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_complexity

    A high sample complexity means that many calculations are needed for running a Monte Carlo tree search. [10] It is equivalent to a model-free brute force search in the state space. In contrast, a high-efficiency algorithm has a low sample complexity. [11]

  3. Central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

    The input into the normalized Gaussian function is the mean of sample means (~50) and the mean sample standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size (~28.87/ √ n), which is called the standard deviation of the mean (since it refers to the spread of sample means).

  4. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_moments_(statistics)

    In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.

  5. Particle size analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_size_analysis

    Particle size analysis, particle size measurement, or simply particle sizing, is the collective name of the technical procedures, or laboratory techniques which determines the size range, and/or the average, or mean size of the particles in a powder or liquid sample. Particle size analysis is part of particle science, and it is generally ...

  6. Risk-limiting audit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-limiting_audit

    A risk-limiting audit (RLA) is a post-election tabulation auditing procedure which can limit the risk that the reported outcome in an election contest is incorrect. It generally involves (1) storing voter-verified paper ballots securely until they can be checked, [1] and (2) manually examining a statistical sample of the paper ballots until enough evidence is gathered to meet the risk limit.

  7. Sieve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_analysis

    A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...

  9. Pooled variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooled_variance

    In statistics, pooled variance (also known as combined variance, composite variance, or overall variance, and written ) is a method for estimating variance of several different populations when the mean of each population may be different, but one may assume that the variance of each population is the same.
