Generalized linear mixed modelIn statistics, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is an extension to the generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor contains random effects in addition to the usual fixed effects. They also inherit from GLMs the idea of extending linear mixed models to non-normal data. GLMMs provide a broad range of models for the analysis of grouped data, since the differences between groups can be modelled as a random effect. These models are useful in the analysis of many kinds of data, including longitudinal data.
Linear probability modelIn statistics, a linear probability model (LPM) is a special case of a binary regression model. Here the dependent variable for each observation takes values which are either 0 or 1. The probability of observing a 0 or 1 in any one case is treated as depending on one or more explanatory variables. For the "linear probability model", this relationship is a particularly simple one, and allows the model to be fitted by linear regression.
Hyperparameter optimizationIn machine learning, hyperparameter optimization or tuning is the problem of choosing a set of optimal hyperparameters for a learning algorithm. A hyperparameter is a parameter whose value is used to control the learning process. By contrast, the values of other parameters (typically node weights) are learned. The same kind of machine learning model can require different constraints, weights or learning rates to generalize different data patterns.
Plan d'expériencesOn nomme plan d'expériences (en anglais, design of experiments ou DOE) la suite ordonnée d'essais d'une expérimentation, chacun permettant d'acquérir de nouvelles connaissances en maîtrisant un ou plusieurs paramètres d'entrée pour obtenir des résultats validant un modèle avec une bonne économie de moyens (nombre d'essais le plus faible possible, par exemple). Un exemple classique est le « plan en étoile » où en partant d'un jeu de valeurs choisi pour les paramètres d'un essai central, on complète celui-ci par des essais où chaque fois un seul des facteurs varie « toutes choses égales par ailleurs ».
Bayesian probabilityBayesian probability (ˈbeɪziən or ˈbeɪʒən ) is an interpretation of the concept of probability, in which, instead of frequency or propensity of some phenomenon, probability is interpreted as reasonable expectation representing a state of knowledge or as quantification of a personal belief. The Bayesian interpretation of probability can be seen as an extension of propositional logic that enables reasoning with hypotheses; that is, with propositions whose truth or falsity is unknown.
Bayesian linear regressionBayesian linear regression is a type of conditional modeling in which the mean of one variable is described by a linear combination of other variables, with the goal of obtaining the posterior probability of the regression coefficients (as well as other parameters describing the distribution of the regressand) and ultimately allowing the out-of-sample prediction of the regressand (often labelled ) conditional on observed values of the regressors (usually ).
Inférence statistiquevignette|Illustration des 4 principales étapes de l'inférence statistique L'inférence statistique est l'ensemble des techniques permettant d'induire les caractéristiques d'un groupe général (la population) à partir de celles d'un groupe particulier (l'échantillon), en fournissant une mesure de la certitude de la prédiction : la probabilité d'erreur. Strictement, l'inférence s'applique à l'ensemble des membres (pris comme un tout) de la population représentée par l'échantillon, et non pas à tel ou tel membre particulier de cette population.
Experiential learningExperiential learning (ExL) is the process of learning through experience, and is more narrowly defined as "learning through reflection on doing". Hands-on learning can be a form of experiential learning, but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning.
Apprentissage par cœurvignette|250px|Un tableau de Nikolaos Gysis de 1883, « apprendre par cœur ». L'apprentissage par cœur ou par cœur est une technique de mémorisation basée sur la répétition. L'idée est que plus l'individu répète une notion, plus il va rapidement être en mesure de rappeler celle-ci. Certaines des alternatives à l'apprentissage par cœur comprennent l'apprentissage par le sens, l'apprentissage associatif, et l'apprentissage actif.
Inquiry-based learningInquiry-based learning (also spelled as enquiry-based learning in British English) is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios. It contrasts with traditional education, which generally relies on the teacher presenting facts and their knowledge about the subject. Inquiry-based learning is often assisted by a facilitator rather than a lecturer. Inquirers will identify and research issues and questions to develop knowledge or solutions.
