Bayesian epistemologyBayesian epistemology is a formal approach to various topics in epistemology that has its roots in Thomas Bayes' work in the field of probability theory. One advantage of its formal method in contrast to traditional epistemology is that its concepts and theorems can be defined with a high degree of precision. It is based on the idea that beliefs can be interpreted as subjective probabilities. As such, they are subject to the laws of probability theory, which act as the norms of rationality.
Racine de l'erreur quadratique moyenneLa racine de l'erreur quadratique moyenne (REQM) ou racine de l'écart quadratique moyen (en anglais, root-mean-square error ou RMSE, et root-mean-square deviation ou RMSD) est une mesure fréquemment utilisée des différences entre les valeurs (valeurs d'échantillon ou de population) prédites par un modèle ou estimateur et les valeurs observées (ou vraies valeurs). La REQM représente la racine carrée du deuxième moment d'échantillonnage des différences entre les valeurs prédites et les valeurs observées.
Validation croiséeLa validation croisée () est, en apprentissage automatique, une méthode d’estimation de fiabilité d’un modèle fondée sur une technique d’échantillonnage. Supposons posséder un modèle statistique avec un ou plusieurs paramètres inconnus, et un ensemble de données d'apprentissage sur lequel on peut apprendre (ou « entraîner ») le modèle. Le processus d'apprentissage optimise les paramètres du modèle afin que celui-ci corresponde le mieux possible aux données d'apprentissage.
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.
Logique probabilisteProbabilistic logic (also probability logic and probabilistic reasoning) involves the use of probability and logic to deal with uncertain situations. Probabilistic logic extends traditional logic truth tables with probabilistic expressions. A difficulty of probabilistic logics is their tendency to multiply the computational complexities of their probabilistic and logical components. Other difficulties include the possibility of counter-intuitive results, such as in case of belief fusion in Dempster–Shafer theory.
Outilthumb|Une boîte à outils en bois des années 1950. Un outil est un objet physique utilisé par un être vivant directement, ou par l'intermédiaire d'une machine, afin d'exercer une action le plus souvent mécanique, ou thermique, sur un élément d'environnement à traiter (matière brute, objet fini ou semi-fini, être vivant, etc). Il améliore l'efficacité des actions entreprises ou donne accès à des actions impossibles autrement. Beaucoup procurent un avantage mécanique en fonctionnant selon le principe d'une machine simple, comme la pince-monseigneur, qui exploite le principe du levier.
Estimation par noyauEn statistique, l’estimation par noyau (ou encore méthode de Parzen-Rosenblatt ; en anglais, kernel density estimation ou KDE) est une méthode non-paramétrique d’estimation de la densité de probabilité d’une variable aléatoire. Elle se base sur un échantillon d’une population statistique et permet d’estimer la densité en tout point du support. En ce sens, cette méthode généralise astucieusement la méthode d’estimation par un histogramme. Si est un échantillon i.i.d.
Rank correlationIn statistics, a rank correlation is any of several statistics that measure an ordinal association—the relationship between rankings of different ordinal variables or different rankings of the same variable, where a "ranking" is the assignment of the ordering labels "first", "second", "third", etc. to different observations of a particular variable. A rank correlation coefficient measures the degree of similarity between two rankings, and can be used to assess the significance of the relation between them.
Power toolA power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools. The most common types of power tools use electric motors. Internal combustion engines and compressed air are also commonly used. Tools directly driven by animal power are not generally considered power tools. Power tools are used in industry, in construction, in the garden, for housework tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and around the house for purposes of driving (fasteners), drilling, cutting, shaping, sanding, grinding, routing, polishing, painting, heating and more.
Intraclass correlationIn statistics, the intraclass correlation, or the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), is a descriptive statistic that can be used when quantitative measurements are made on units that are organized into groups. It describes how strongly units in the same group resemble each other. While it is viewed as a type of correlation, unlike most other correlation measures, it operates on data structured as groups rather than data structured as paired observations.
