Résolution de problèmevignette|Résolution d'un problème mathématique. La résolution de problème est le processus d'identification puis de mise en œuvre d'une solution à un problème. Analyse de cause racine (ACR, Root cause analysis) : cette démarche part du constat qu'il est plus judicieux de traiter les causes d'un problème que d'en traiter les symptômes immédiats. Puisqu'analyser les causes d'un problème permet d'en déterminer une solution définitive, et donc, empêcher qu'il ne se reproduise de nouveau.
Cross-covarianceIn probability and statistics, given two stochastic processes and , the cross-covariance is a function that gives the covariance of one process with the other at pairs of time points. With the usual notation for the expectation operator, if the processes have the mean functions and , then the cross-covariance is given by Cross-covariance is related to the more commonly used cross-correlation of the processes in question.
Heckman correctionThe Heckman correction is a statistical technique to correct bias from non-randomly selected samples or otherwise incidentally truncated dependent variables, a pervasive issue in quantitative social sciences when using observational data. Conceptually, this is achieved by explicitly modelling the individual sampling probability of each observation (the so-called selection equation) together with the conditional expectation of the dependent variable (the so-called outcome equation).
Hotelling's T-squared distributionIn statistics, particularly in hypothesis testing, the Hotelling's T-squared distribution (T2), proposed by Harold Hotelling, is a multivariate probability distribution that is tightly related to the F-distribution and is most notable for arising as the distribution of a set of sample statistics that are natural generalizations of the statistics underlying the Student's t-distribution. The Hotelling's t-squared statistic (t2) is a generalization of Student's t-statistic that is used in multivariate hypothesis testing.
