Credible intervalIn Bayesian statistics, a credible interval is an interval within which an unobserved parameter value falls with a particular probability. It is an interval in the domain of a posterior probability distribution or a predictive distribution. The generalisation to multivariate problems is the credible region. Credible intervals are analogous to confidence intervals and confidence regions in frequentist statistics, although they differ on a philosophical basis: Bayesian intervals treat their bounds as fixed and the estimated parameter as a random variable, whereas frequentist confidence intervals treat their bounds as random variables and the parameter as a fixed value.
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.
Systematic samplingIn survey methodology, systematic sampling is a statistical method involving the selection of elements from an ordered sampling frame. The most common form of systematic sampling is an equiprobability method. In this approach, progression through the list is treated circularly, with a return to the top once the list ends. The sampling starts by selecting an element from the list at random and then every kth element in the frame is selected, where k, is the sampling interval (sometimes known as the skip): this is calculated as: where n is the sample size, and N is the population size.
Sampling distributionIn statistics, a sampling distribution or finite-sample distribution is the probability distribution of a given random-sample-based statistic. If an arbitrarily large number of samples, each involving multiple observations (data points), were separately used in order to compute one value of a statistic (such as, for example, the sample mean or sample variance) for each sample, then the sampling distribution is the probability distribution of the values that the statistic takes on.
Bande de basethumb|right|Spectre d'un signal en bande de base Dans le jargon des télécommunications, le terme de bande de base ou base de bande (ou en anglais baseband) désigne une technique de transmission dans laquelle le signal est envoyé directement sur le canal après Codage en ligne sans passer par un codage canal (sans modulation). Le signal transmis peut être analogique ou numérique.
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Filtre coupe-bandeUn filtre coupe-bande aussi appelé filtre réjecteur de bande ou filtre cloche est un filtre empêchant le passage d'une partie des fréquences. Il est composé d'un filtre passe-haut et d'un filtre passe-bas dont les fréquences de coupure sont souvent proches mais différentes, la fréquence de coupure du filtre passe-bas est systématiquement inférieure à la fréquence de coupure du filtre passe-haut.
Nombre de sujets nécessairesEn statistique, la détermination du nombre de sujets nécessaires est l'acte de choisir le nombre d'observations ou de répétitions à inclure dans un échantillon statistique. Ce choix est très important pour pouvoir faire de l'inférence sur une population. En pratique, la taille de l'échantillon utilisé dans une étude est déterminée en fonction du coût de la collecte des données et de la nécessité d'avoir une puissance statistique suffisante.
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.
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.
Iterative reconstructionIterative reconstruction refers to iterative algorithms used to reconstruct 2D and 3D images in certain imaging techniques. For example, in computed tomography an image must be reconstructed from projections of an object. Here, iterative reconstruction techniques are usually a better, but computationally more expensive alternative to the common filtered back projection (FBP) method, which directly calculates the image in a single reconstruction step.
