  2. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    For correlated random variables the sample variance needs to be computed according to the Markov chain central limit theorem.. Independent and identically distributed random variables with random sample size

  3. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Propagation of uncertainty. In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables ' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements they have uncertainties due to measurement ...

  4. Mean squared error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_error

    Definition and basic properties. The MSE either assesses the quality of a predictor (i.e., a function mapping arbitrary inputs to a sample of values of some random variable), or of an estimator (i.e., a mathematical function mapping a sample of data to an estimate of a parameter of the population from which the data is sampled).

  6. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    In mathematics, the root mean square (abbrev. RMS, RMS or rms) of a set of numbers is the square root of the set's mean square. [1] Given a set , its RMS is denoted as either or . The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean (denoted ), [2] [3] a special case of the generalized mean. The RMS of a continuous function is denoted and can be defined ...

  7. Root-mean-square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation

    In meteorology, to see how effectively a mathematical model predicts the behavior of the atmosphere. In bioinformatics, the root-mean-square deviation of atomic positions is the measure of the average distance between the atoms of superimposed proteins. In structure based drug design, the RMSD is a measure of the difference between a crystal ...

  8. Residual sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_sum_of_squares

    In statistics, the residual sum of squares ( RSS ), also known as the sum of squared residuals ( SSR) or the sum of squared estimate of errors ( SSE ), is the sum of the squares of residuals (deviations predicted from actual empirical values of data). It is a measure of the discrepancy between the data and an estimation model, such as a linear ...

  9. Newey–West estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newey–West_estimator

    A Newey–West estimator is used in statistics and econometrics to provide an estimate of the covariance matrix of the parameters of a regression-type model where the standard assumptions of regression analysis do not apply. [1] It was devised by Whitney K. Newey and Kenneth D. West in 1987, although there are a number of later variants.
