Stepwise regressionIn statistics, stepwise regression is a method of fitting regression models in which the choice of predictive variables is carried out by an automatic procedure. In each step, a variable is considered for addition to or subtraction from the set of explanatory variables based on some prespecified criterion. Usually, this takes the form of a forward, backward, or combined sequence of F-tests or t-tests.
Test FEn statistique, un test F est un terme générique désignant tout test statistique dans lequel la statistique de test suit la loi de Fisher sous l'hypothèse nulle. Ce type de tests est souvent utilisé lors de la comparaison de modèles statistiques qui ont été ajustés sur un ensemble de données, afin d'identifier le modèle qui correspond le mieux à la population à partir de laquelle les données ont été échantillonnées. Les tests F dits "exacts" sont ceux pour lesquels les modèles ont été ajustés aux données par la méthode des moindres carrés.
Reduced chi-squared statisticIn statistics, the reduced chi-square statistic is used extensively in goodness of fit testing. It is also known as mean squared weighted deviation (MSWD) in isotopic dating and variance of unit weight in the context of weighted least squares. Its square root is called regression standard error, standard error of the regression, or standard error of the equation (see ) It is defined as chi-square per degree of freedom: where the chi-squared is a weighted sum of squared deviations: with inputs: variance , observations O, and calculated data C.
Partition of sums of squaresThe partition of sums of squares is a concept that permeates much of inferential statistics and descriptive statistics. More properly, it is the partitioning of sums of squared deviations or errors. Mathematically, the sum of squared deviations is an unscaled, or unadjusted measure of dispersion (also called variability). When scaled for the number of degrees of freedom, it estimates the variance, or spread of the observations about their mean value.
Pearson correlation coefficientIn statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) is a correlation coefficient that measures linear correlation between two sets of data. It is the ratio between the covariance of two variables and the product of their standard deviations; thus, it is essentially a normalized measurement of the covariance, such that the result always has a value between −1 and 1. As with covariance itself, the measure can only reflect a linear correlation of variables, and ignores many other types of relationships or correlations.
Régression (statistiques)En mathématiques, la régression recouvre plusieurs méthodes d’analyse statistique permettant d’approcher une variable à partir d’autres qui lui sont corrélées. Par extension, le terme est aussi utilisé pour certaines méthodes d’ajustement de courbe. En apprentissage automatique, on distingue les problèmes de régression des problèmes de classification. Ainsi, on considère que les problèmes de prédiction d'une variable quantitative sont des problèmes de régression tandis que les problèmes de prédiction d'une variable qualitative sont des problèmes de classification.
Fraction of variance unexplainedIn statistics, the fraction of variance unexplained (FVU) in the context of a regression task is the fraction of variance of the regressand (dependent variable) Y which cannot be explained, i.e., which is not correctly predicted, by the explanatory variables X. Suppose we are given a regression function yielding for each an estimate where is the vector of the ith observations on all the explanatory variables.
