Espérance conditionnelleEn théorie des probabilités, l'espérance conditionnelle d'une variable aléatoire réelle donne la valeur moyenne de cette variable quand un certain événement est réalisé. Selon les cas, c'est un nombre ou alors une nouvelle variable aléatoire. On parle alors d'espérance d'une variable aléatoire conditionnée par un événement B est, intuitivement, la moyenne que l'on obtient si on renouvelle un grand nombre de fois l'expérience liée à la variable aléatoire et que l'on ne retient que les cas où l'événement B est réalisé.
Business simulationBusiness simulation or corporate simulation is simulation used for business training, education or analysis. It can be scenario-based or numeric-based. Most business simulations are used for business acumen training and development. Learning objectives include: strategic thinking, decision making, problem solving, financial analysis, market analysis, operations, teamwork and leadership. The business gaming community seems lately to have adopted the term business simulation game instead of just gaming or just simulation.
Bayes factorThe Bayes factor is a ratio of two competing statistical models represented by their evidence, and is used to quantify the support for one model over the other. The models in questions can have a common set of parameters, such as a null hypothesis and an alternative, but this is not necessary; for instance, it could also be a non-linear model compared to its linear approximation. The Bayes factor can be thought of as a Bayesian analog to the likelihood-ratio test, although it uses the (integrated) marginal likelihood rather than the maximized likelihood.
Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
