  2. Modified due-date scheduling heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_due-date...

    The modified due date scheduling is a scheduling heuristic created in 1982 by Baker and Bertrand, [1] used to solve the NP-hard single machine total-weighted tardiness problem. This problem is centered around reducing the global tardiness of a list of tasks which are characterized by their processing time, due date and weight by re-ordering them.

  3. Estimated date of delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_date_of_delivery

    Here's the formula to calculate your Estimated Due Date using Naegele's rule : Date of Last Menstrual Period + 7 Days + 9 Calendar Months = Date of Estimated Date of Delivery. Example: LMP = 8 May 2020. +1 year = 8 May 2021. −3 months = 8 February 2021.

  4. Shape of a probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_a_probability...

    In statistics, the concept of the shape of a probability distribution arises in questions of finding an appropriate distribution to use to model the statistical properties of a population, given a sample from that population. The shape of a distribution may be considered either descriptively, using terms such as "J-shaped", or numerically ...

  5. Moderation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Moderation (statistics) In statistics and regression analysis, moderation (also known as effect modification) occurs when the relationship between two variables depends on a third variable. The third variable is referred to as the moderator variable (or effect modifier) or simply the moderator (or modifier ). [1] [2] The effect of a moderating ...

  6. Odds ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds_ratio

    An odds ratio ( OR) is a statistic that quantifies the strength of the association between two events, A and B. The odds ratio is defined as the ratio of the odds of A in the presence of B and the odds of A in the absence of B, or equivalently (due to symmetry ), the ratio of the odds of B in the presence of A and the odds of B in the absence ...

  7. Regression toward the mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

    Regression toward the mean. In statistics, regression toward the mean (also called reversion to the mean, and reversion to mediocrity) is the phenomenon where if one sample of a random variable is extreme, the next sampling of the same random variable is likely to be closer to its mean. [1] [2] [3] Furthermore, when many random variables are ...

  8. Extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapolation

    Extrapolation. In mathematics, extrapolation is a type of estimation, beyond the original observation range, of the value of a variable on the basis of its relationship with another variable. It is similar to interpolation, which produces estimates between known observations, but extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk ...

    Generally speaking, simultaneity occurs in the dynamic model just like in the example of static simultaneity above. See also. Virtuous circle and vicious circle; Heterogeneity; Dependent and independent variables; Footnotes
