Analyse de la varianceEn statistique, lanalyse de la variance (terme souvent abrégé par le terme anglais ANOVA : analysis of variance) est un ensemble de modèles statistiques utilisés pour vérifier si les moyennes des groupes proviennent d'une même population. Les groupes correspondent aux modalités d'une variable qualitative (p. ex. variable : traitement; modalités : programme d'entrainement sportif, suppléments alimentaires; placebo) et les moyennes sont calculés à partir d'une variable continue (p. ex. gain musculaire).
Optimal designIn the design of experiments, optimal designs (or optimum designs) are a class of experimental designs that are optimal with respect to some statistical criterion. The creation of this field of statistics has been credited to Danish statistician Kirstine Smith. In the design of experiments for estimating statistical models, optimal designs allow parameters to be estimated without bias and with minimum variance. A non-optimal design requires a greater number of experimental runs to estimate the parameters with the same precision as an optimal design.
FactorielleEn mathématiques, la factorielle d'un entier naturel n est le produit des nombres entiers strictement positifs inférieurs ou égaux à n. Cette opération est notée avec un point d'exclamation, n!, ce qui se lit soit « factorielle de n », soit « factorielle n », soit « n factorielle ». Cette notation a été introduite en 1808 par Christian Kramp. Par exemple, la factorielle 10 exprime le nombre de combinaisons possibles de placement des 10 convives autour d'une table (on dit la permutation des convives).
Falling and rising factorialsIn mathematics, the falling factorial (sometimes called the descending factorial, falling sequential product, or lower factorial) is defined as the polynomial The rising factorial (sometimes called the Pochhammer function, Pochhammer polynomial, ascending factorial, rising sequential product, or upper factorial) is defined as The value of each is taken to be 1 (an empty product) when These symbols are collectively called factorial powers. The Pochhammer symbol, introduced by Leo August Pochhammer, is the notation (x)_n , where n is a non-negative integer.
Glossary of experimental designA glossary of terms used in experimental research. Statistics Experimental design Estimation theory Alias: When the estimate of an effect also includes the influence of one or more other effects (usually high order interactions) the effects are said to be aliased (see confounding). For example, if the estimate of effect D in a four factor experiment actually estimates (D + ABC), then the main effect D is aliased with the 3-way interaction ABC. Note: This causes no difficulty when the higher order interaction is either non-existent or insignificant.
