Moindres carrés non linéairesLes moindres carrés non linéaires est une forme des moindres carrés adaptée pour l'estimation d'un modèle non linéaire en n paramètres à partir de m observations (m > n). Une façon d'estimer ce genre de problème est de considérer des itérations successives se basant sur une version linéarisée du modèle initial. Méthode des moindres carrés Considérons un jeu de m couples d'observations, (x, y), (x, y),...,(x, y), et une fonction de régression du type y = f (x, β).
Lack-of-fit sum of squaresIn statistics, a sum of squares due to lack of fit, or more tersely a lack-of-fit sum of squares, is one of the components of a partition of the sum of squares of residuals in an analysis of variance, used in the numerator in an F-test of the null hypothesis that says that a proposed model fits well. The other component is the pure-error sum of squares. The pure-error sum of squares is the sum of squared deviations of each value of the dependent variable from the average value over all observations sharing its independent variable value(s).
Sampling errorIn statistics, sampling errors are incurred when the statistical characteristics of a population are estimated from a subset, or sample, of that population. It can produced biased results. Since the sample does not include all members of the population, statistics of the sample (often known as estimators), such as means and quartiles, generally differ from the statistics of the entire population (known as parameters). The difference between the sample statistic and population parameter is considered the sampling error.
Mean absolute errorIn statistics, mean absolute error (MAE) is a measure of errors between paired observations expressing the same phenomenon. Examples of Y versus X include comparisons of predicted versus observed, subsequent time versus initial time, and one technique of measurement versus an alternative technique of measurement. MAE is calculated as the sum of absolute errors divided by the sample size: It is thus an arithmetic average of the absolute errors , where is the prediction and the true value.
Univariate distributionIn statistics, a univariate distribution is a probability distribution of only one random variable. This is in contrast to a multivariate distribution, the probability distribution of a random vector (consisting of multiple random variables). One of the simplest examples of a discrete univariate distribution is the discrete uniform distribution, where all elements of a finite set are equally likely. It is the probability model for the outcomes of tossing a fair coin, rolling a fair die, etc.
Test de GrubbsEn statistique, le test de Grubbs (nommé d'après Frank E. Grubbs, qui en a fait la publication en 1950), également connu sous le nom de test résiduel normalisé maximum ou test de déviation Student extrême, est un test statistique utilisé pour détecter les valeurs aberrantes dans un ensemble de données univariées supposé provenir d'une population normalement distribuée. Le test de Grubbs est basé sur l'hypothèse de normalité.
Projection matrixIn statistics, the projection matrix , sometimes also called the influence matrix or hat matrix , maps the vector of response values (dependent variable values) to the vector of fitted values (or predicted values). It describes the influence each response value has on each fitted value. The diagonal elements of the projection matrix are the leverages, which describe the influence each response value has on the fitted value for that same observation.
Régression polynomialePolyreg scheffe.svg thumb|Régression sur un nuage de points par un polynôme de degré croissant. La régression polynomiale est une analyse statistique qui décrit la variation d'une variable aléatoire expliquée à partir d'une fonction polynomiale d'une variable aléatoire explicative. C'est un cas particulier de régression linéaire multiple, où les observations sont construites à partir des puissances d'une seule variable.
Generalized chi-squared distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the generalized chi-squared distribution (or generalized chi-square distribution) is the distribution of a quadratic form of a multinormal variable (normal vector), or a linear combination of different normal variables and squares of normal variables. Equivalently, it is also a linear sum of independent noncentral chi-square variables and a normal variable. There are several other such generalizations for which the same term is sometimes used; some of them are special cases of the family discussed here, for example the gamma distribution.
