  2. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Bootstrapping (statistics) Bootstrapping is a procedure for estimating the distribution of an estimator by resampling (often with replacement) one's data or a model estimated from the data. [1] Bootstrapping assigns measures of accuracy (bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error, etc.) to sample estimates. [2][3] This technique ...

  3. Resampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The best example of the plug-in principle, the bootstrapping method. Bootstrapping is a statistical method for estimating the sampling distribution of an estimator by sampling with replacement from the original sample, most often with the purpose of deriving robust estimates of standard errors and confidence intervals of a population parameter like a mean, median, proportion, odds ratio ...

  4. Bootstrapping populations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_populations

    Bootstrapping populations in statistics and mathematics starts with a sample {, …,} observed from a random variable.. When X has a given distribution law with a set of non fixed parameters, we denote with a vector , a parametric inference problem consists of computing suitable values – call them estimates – of these parameters precisely on the basis of the sample.

  5. Bootstrap aggregating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_aggregating

    v. t. e. Bootstrap aggregating, also called bagging (from b ootstrap agg regat ing), is a machine learning ensemble meta-algorithm designed to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms used in statistical classification and regression. It also reduces variance and helps to avoid overfitting.

  6. Statistical inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_inference

    Statistical inference makes propositions about a population, using data drawn from the population with some form of sampling.Given a hypothesis about a population, for which we wish to draw inferences, statistical inference consists of (first) selecting a statistical model of the process that generates the data and (second) deducing propositions from the model.

    An October 2008 voter registration rally held on behalf of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, on Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway. A voter registration drive is an effort undertaken by a government authority, political party or other entity to register to vote persons otherwise entitled to vote. In many jurisdictions, the functions ...

  8. Descriptive statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_statistics

    e. A descriptive statistic (in the count noun sense) is a summary statistic that quantitatively describes or summarizes features from a collection of information, [1] while descriptive statistics (in the mass noun sense) is the process of using and analysing those statistics. Descriptive statistics is distinguished from inferential statistics ...

  9. Source attribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_attribution

    The frequency at which a given clade is observed in the bootstrap sample of trees quantifies the reproducibility of that node in the original tree. Non-parametric bootstrapping is a time-consuming process that scales linearly with the number of replicates, since every bootstrap sample is processed by the same method as the original tree, and ...
