Interval estimationIn statistics, interval estimation is the use of sample data to estimate an interval of possible values of a parameter of interest. This is in contrast to point estimation, which gives a single value. The most prevalent forms of interval estimation are confidence intervals (a frequentist method) and credible intervals (a Bayesian method); less common forms include likelihood intervals and fiducial intervals.
Sampling errorIn statistics, sampling errors are incurred when the statistical characteristics of a population are estimated from a subset, or sample, of that population. It can produced biased results. Since the sample does not include all members of the population, statistics of the sample (often known as estimators), such as means and quartiles, generally differ from the statistics of the entire population (known as parameters). The difference between the sample statistic and population parameter is considered the sampling error.
Échantillonnage stratifiévignette|Vous prenez un échantillon aléatoire stratifié en divisant d'abord la population en groupes homogènes (semblables en eux-mêmes) (strates) qui sont distincts les uns des autres, c'est-à-dire. Le groupe 1 est différent du groupe 2. Ensuite, choisissez un EAS (échantillon aléatoire simple) distinct dans chaque strate et combinez ces EAS pour former l'échantillon complet. L'échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié est utilisé pour produire des échantillons non biaisés.
Erreur typeLerreur type d'une statistique (souvent une estimation d'un paramètre) est l'écart type de sa distribution d'échantillonnage ou l'estimation de son écart type. Si le paramètre ou la statistique est la moyenne, on parle d'erreur type de la moyenne. La distribution d'échantillonnage est générée par tirage répété et enregistrements des moyennes obtenues. Cela forme une distribution de moyennes différentes, et cette distribution a sa propre moyenne et variance.
Binomial proportion confidence intervalIn statistics, a binomial proportion confidence interval is a confidence interval for the probability of success calculated from the outcome of a series of success–failure experiments (Bernoulli trials). In other words, a binomial proportion confidence interval is an interval estimate of a success probability p when only the number of experiments n and the number of successes nS are known. There are several formulas for a binomial confidence interval, but all of them rely on the assumption of a binomial distribution.
Analyse séquentielleEn statistique, l'analyse séquentielle, ou test d'hypothèse séquentiel, est une analyse statistique où la taille de l'échantillon n'est pas fixée à l'avance. Plutôt, les données sont évaluées au fur et à mesure qu'elles sont recueillies, et l'échantillonnage est arrêté selon une règle d'arrêt prédéfinie, dès que des résultats significatifs sont observés. Une conclusion peut ainsi parfois être atteinte à un stade beaucoup plus précoce que ce qui serait possible avec des tests d'hypothèse ou des estimations plus classiques, à un coût financier ou humain par conséquent inférieur.
Tolerance intervalA tolerance interval (TI) is a statistical interval within which, with some confidence level, a specified sampled proportion of a population falls. "More specifically, a 100×p%/100×(1−α) tolerance interval provides limits within which at least a certain proportion (p) of the population falls with a given level of confidence (1−α)." "A (p, 1−α) tolerance interval (TI) based on a sample is constructed so that it would include at least a proportion p of the sampled population with confidence 1−α; such a TI is usually referred to as p-content − (1−α) coverage TI.
Survey samplingIn statistics, survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample of elements from a target population to conduct a survey. The term "survey" may refer to many different types or techniques of observation. In survey sampling it most often involves a questionnaire used to measure the characteristics and/or attitudes of people. Different ways of contacting members of a sample once they have been selected is the subject of survey data collection.
Cluster samplingIn statistics, cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups (known as clusters) and a simple random sample of the groups is selected. The elements in each cluster are then sampled. If all elements in each sampled cluster are sampled, then this is referred to as a "one-stage" cluster sampling plan.
Coverage probabilityIn statistics, the coverage probability, or coverage for short, is the probability that a confidence interval or confidence region will include the true value (parameter) of interest. It can be defined as the proportion of instances where the interval surrounds the true value as assessed by long-run frequency. The fixed degree of certainty pre-specified by the analyst, referred to as the confidence level or confidence coefficient of the constructed interval, is effectively the nominal coverage probability of the procedure for constructing confidence intervals.
Convenience samplingConvenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand. This type of sampling is most useful for pilot testing. Convenience sampling is not often recommended for research due to the possibility of sampling error and lack of representation of the population. But it can be handy depending on the situation. In some situations, convenience sampling is the only possible option.
Algorithme de Primthumb|right|Arbre couvrant de poids minimum L'algorithme de Prim est un algorithme glouton qui calcule un arbre couvrant minimal dans un graphe connexe pondéré et non orienté. En d'autres termes, cet algorithme trouve un sous-ensemble d'arêtes formant un arbre sur l'ensemble des sommets du graphe initial et tel que la somme des poids de ces arêtes soit minimale. Si le graphe n'est pas connexe, alors l'algorithme détermine un arbre couvrant minimal d'une composante connexe du graphe.
