Point estimationIn statistics, point estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value (known as a point estimate since it identifies a point in some parameter space) which is to serve as a "best guess" or "best estimate" of an unknown population parameter (for example, the population mean). More formally, it is the application of a point estimator to the data to obtain a point estimate. Point estimation can be contrasted with interval estimation: such interval estimates are typically either confidence intervals, in the case of frequentist inference, or credible intervals, in the case of Bayesian inference.
Creative Problem SolvingLe Creative Problem Solving (CPS) est une méthode créative de résolution de problème élaborée par Alex Osborn et . Elle allie à la fois un processus structuré, des techniques, et des rôles attribués aux différents intervenants dans ce processus. En 1942, le publicitaire Alex Osborn décrit dans son livre How To Think Up, puis dans Applied Imagination en 1953, le brainstorming (« l’attaque d’un problème dans un style commando ») qui est à l’origine du Creative Problem Solving.
Steinitz's theoremIn polyhedral combinatorics, a branch of mathematics, Steinitz's theorem is a characterization of the undirected graphs formed by the edges and vertices of three-dimensional convex polyhedra: they are exactly the 3-vertex-connected planar graphs. That is, every convex polyhedron forms a 3-connected planar graph, and every 3-connected planar graph can be represented as the graph of a convex polyhedron. For this reason, the 3-connected planar graphs are also known as polyhedral graphs.
