  2. Effect size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_size

    In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of a parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...

  4. Kaplan–Meier estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplan–Meier_estimator

    A plot of the Kaplan–Meier estimator is a series of declining horizontal steps which, with a large enough sample size, approaches the true survival function for that population. The value of the survival function between successive distinct sampled observations ("clicks") is assumed to be constant.

  5. Unbiased estimation of standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbiased_estimation_of...

    In statistics and in particular statistical theory, unbiased estimation of a standard deviation is the calculation from a statistical sample of an estimated value of the standard deviation (a measure of statistical dispersion) of a population of values, in such a way that the expected value of the calculation equals the true value.

  6. Human mitochondrial molecular clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial...

    Estimates of the mutation rate of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) vary greatly depending on the available data and the method used for estimation. The two main methods of estimation, phylogeny-based methods and pedigree-based methods, have produced mutation rates that differ by almost an order of magnitude. Current research has been focused on ...

  7. 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.

  8. Quantile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile

    All methods compute Q p, the estimate for the p-quantile (the k-th q-quantile, where p = k/q) from a sample of size N by computing a real valued index h. When h is an integer, the h-th smallest of the N values, x h, is the quantile estimate.

  9. Population size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_size

    In population genetics and population ecology, population size (usually denoted N) is a countable quantity representing the number of individual organisms in a population. Population size is directly associated with amount of genetic drift , and is the underlying cause of effects like population bottlenecks and the founder effect . [ 1 ]
