Analyse en composantes principalesL'analyse en composantes principales (ACP ou PCA en anglais pour principal component analysis), ou, selon le domaine d'application, transformation de Karhunen–Loève (KLT) ou transformation de Hotelling, est une méthode de la famille de l'analyse des données et plus généralement de la statistique multivariée, qui consiste à transformer des variables liées entre elles (dites « corrélées » en statistique) en nouvelles variables décorrélées les unes des autres. Ces nouvelles variables sont nommées « composantes principales » ou axes principaux.
Sample mean and covarianceThe sample mean (sample average) or empirical mean (empirical average), and the sample covariance or empirical covariance are statistics computed from a sample of data on one or more random variables. The sample mean is the average value (or mean value) of a sample of numbers taken from a larger population of numbers, where "population" indicates not number of people but the entirety of relevant data, whether collected or not. A sample of 40 companies' sales from the Fortune 500 might be used for convenience instead of looking at the population, all 500 companies' sales.
Public-domain softwarePublic-domain software is software that has been placed in the public domain, in other words, software for which there is absolutely no ownership such as copyright, trademark, or patent. Software in the public domain can be modified, distributed, or sold even without any attribution by anyone; this is unlike the common case of software under exclusive copyright, where licenses grant limited usage rights.
Public-domain-equivalent licensePublic-domain-equivalent license are licenses that grant public-domain-like rights and/or act as waivers. They are used to make copyrighted works usable by anyone without conditions, while avoiding the complexities of attribution or license compatibility that occur with other licenses. No permission or license is required for a work truly in the public domain, such as one with an expired copyright; such a work may be copied at will.
Data domainIn data management and database analysis, a data domain is the collection of values that a data element may contain. The rule for determining the domain boundary may be as simple as a data type with an enumerated list of values. For example, a database table that has information about people, with one record per person, might have a "marital status" column. This column might be declared as a string data type, and allowed to have one of two known code values: "M" for married, "S" for single, and NULL for records where marital status is unknown or not applicable.
Plan de gestion des donnéesUn plan de gestion des données, plan de gestion des données de recherche, Data management plan ou PGD est un document évolutif qui aide le(s) chercheur(s) ou le chargé de projet de la recherche à définir un plan pour gérer les données utilisées et générées dans le cadre de son activité ou de son projet de recherche. Initié au début du projet, ce plan est mis à jour de manière périodique pour s'assurer de son adéquation avec le déroulement de l'activité ou du projet.
