  2. Margin of error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error

    We would expect the average of normally distributed values ,, … to have a standard deviation which somehow varies with . The smaller , the wider the margin ...

  3. 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).

  4. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    where represents the standard deviation of the function , represents the standard deviation of , represents the standard deviation of , and so forth.. It is important to note that this formula is based on the linear characteristics of the gradient of and therefore it is a good estimation for the standard deviation of as long as ,,, … are small enough.

  5. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    The sum of squares of residuals, also called the residual sum of squares: The total sum of squares (proportional to the variance of the data): The most general definition of the coefficient of determination is. In the best case, the modeled values exactly match the observed values, which results in and R2 = 1.

  6. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real -valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive, zero, negative, or undefined. For a unimodal distribution (a distribution with a single peak), negative skew commonly indicates that the tail is on the ...

  7. Root mean square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation

    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 conformation of the ligand conformation and a docking prediction.

  8. Stanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanine

    Stanine (STAndard NINE) is a method of scaling test scores on a nine-point standard scale with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two. Some web sources attribute stanines to the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Psychometric legend has it that a 1–9 scale was used because of the compactness of recording the score as a single ...

  9. Data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_set

    A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data. In the case of tabular data, a data set corresponds to one or more database tables, where every column of a table represents a particular variable, and each row corresponds to a given record of the data set in question. The data set lists values for each of the variables, such as for example ...
