Web-based simulationWeb-based simulation (WBS) is the invocation of computer simulation services over the World Wide Web, specifically through a web browser. Increasingly, the web is being looked upon as an environment for providing modeling and simulation applications, and as such, is an emerging area of investigation within the simulation community. Web-based simulation is used in several contexts: In e-learning, various principles can quickly be illustrated to students by means of interactive computer animations, for example during lecture demonstrations and computer exercises.
Arbre de décisionvignette| Arbre de décision Un arbre de décision est un outil d'aide à la décision représentant un ensemble de choix sous la forme graphique d'un arbre. Les différentes décisions possibles sont situées aux extrémités des branches (les « feuilles » de l'arbre), et sont atteintes en fonction de décisions prises à chaque étape. L'arbre de décision est un outil utilisé dans des domaines variés tels que la sécurité, la fouille de données, la médecine, etc. Il a l'avantage d'être lisible et rapide à exécuter.
Statistical conclusion validityStatistical conclusion validity is the degree to which conclusions about the relationship among variables based on the data are correct or "reasonable". This began as being solely about whether the statistical conclusion about the relationship of the variables was correct, but now there is a movement towards moving to "reasonable" conclusions that use: quantitative, statistical, and qualitative data. Fundamentally, two types of errors can occur: type I (finding a difference or correlation when none exists) and type II (finding no difference or correlation when one exists).
Content validityIn psychometrics, content validity (also known as logical validity) refers to the extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given construct. For example, a depression scale may lack content validity if it only assesses the affective dimension of depression but fails to take into account the behavioral dimension. An element of subjectivity exists in relation to determining content validity, which requires a degree of agreement about what a particular personality trait such as extraversion represents.
