Factorial experiment
Experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values, and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors
Fractional factorial design
Statistical experimental design approach
Frequentist inference
Statistical inference based on frequency and proportion in sample data
Geometric mean
The n-th root of the product of n numbers
Harmonic mean
Inverse of the average of the inverses of a set of numbers
Linear regression
Statistical modeling method which shows linear correlation between variables
Logistic regression
Statistical model for a binary dependent variable
Margin of error
Statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results
Maximum a posteriori estimation
Method of estimating the parameters of a statistical model
Maximum likelihood estimation
Method of estimating the parameters of a statistical model, given observations
Mean
General term for the several definitions of mean value, the sum divided by the count
Median
Middle quantile of a data set or probability distribution
Meta-analysis
Statistical method that summarizes data from multiple sources
Mode (statistics)
Value that appears most often in a set of data
Monte Carlo method
Probabilistic problem-solving algorithm
Observational study
Draws inferences from a sample to a population where the independent variable is not under the control of the researcher because of ethical concerns or logistical constraints
One-factor-at-a-time method
Method of designing experiments
Ordinary least squares
Method for estimating the unknown parameters in a linear regression model
Posterior probability
Conditional probability distribution used in Bayesian statistics
Principal component analysis
Conversion of a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components
Prior probability
Probability distribution that would express one's uncertainty before some evidence is taken into account
p-value
Function of the observed sample results
Randomized controlled trial
Experimental method designed to reduce bias, typically accomplished by randomly allocating subjects to two or more groups, with one being a control group
Regression analysis
Set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships among variables
Sample mean and covariance
Statistics computed from a sample of data
Sampling (statistics)
Selection of data points in statistics.
Sampling error
In statistics, error that occurs solely as a result of using a sample from a population, rather than the whole population
