Régression (statistiques)En mathématiques, la régression recouvre plusieurs méthodes d’analyse statistique permettant d’approcher une variable à partir d’autres qui lui sont corrélées. Par extension, le terme est aussi utilisé pour certaines méthodes d’ajustement de courbe. En apprentissage automatique, on distingue les problèmes de régression des problèmes de classification. Ainsi, on considère que les problèmes de prédiction d'une variable quantitative sont des problèmes de régression tandis que les problèmes de prédiction d'une variable qualitative sont des problèmes de classification.
Loi multinomialeEn théorie des probabilités, la loi multinomiale (aussi appelée distribution polynomiale) généralise la loi binomiale. Tandis que la loi binomiale concerne le nombre de succès lors d'une série de n épreuves de Bernoulli indépendantes, comme dans le jeu de pile ou face, la loi multinomiale ne se restreint pas aux épreuves comportant deux issues. La loi multinomiale s'applique par exemple au cas de n jets d'un dé à six faces : l'apparition du seul peut être modélisé par une loi binomiale alors que l'ensemble des apparitions des à 6 est modélisé par une loi multinomiale.
Dirichlet-multinomial distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the Dirichlet-multinomial distribution is a family of discrete multivariate probability distributions on a finite support of non-negative integers. It is also called the Dirichlet compound multinomial distribution (DCM) or multivariate Pólya distribution (after George Pólya). It is a compound probability distribution, where a probability vector p is drawn from a Dirichlet distribution with parameter vector , and an observation drawn from a multinomial distribution with probability vector p and number of trials n.
Noyau de système d'exploitationUn noyau de système d’exploitation, ou simplement noyau, ou kernel en anglais, est une des parties fondamentales de certains systèmes d’exploitation. Il gère les ressources de l’ordinateur et permet aux différents composants — matériels et logiciels — de communiquer entre eux. En tant que partie du système d’exploitation, le noyau fournit des mécanismes d’abstraction du matériel, notamment de la mémoire, du (ou des) processeur(s), et des échanges d’informations entre logiciels et périphériques matériels.
Dirichlet negative multinomial distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the Dirichlet negative multinomial distribution is a multivariate distribution on the non-negative integers. It is a multivariate extension of the beta negative binomial distribution. It is also a generalization of the negative multinomial distribution (NM(k, p)) allowing for heterogeneity or overdispersion to the probability vector. It is used in quantitative marketing research to flexibly model the number of household transactions across multiple brands.
Multinomial logistic regressionIn statistics, multinomial logistic regression is a classification method that generalizes logistic regression to multiclass problems, i.e. with more than two possible discrete outcomes. That is, it is a model that is used to predict the probabilities of the different possible outcomes of a categorically distributed dependent variable, given a set of independent variables (which may be real-valued, binary-valued, categorical-valued, etc.).
Simple linear regressionIn statistics, simple linear regression is a linear regression model with a single explanatory variable. That is, it concerns two-dimensional sample points with one independent variable and one dependent variable (conventionally, the x and y coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate system) and finds a linear function (a non-vertical straight line) that, as accurately as possible, predicts the dependent variable values as a function of the independent variable. The adjective simple refers to the fact that the outcome variable is related to a single predictor.
Multinomial probitIn statistics and econometrics, the multinomial probit model is a generalization of the probit model used when there are several possible categories that the dependent variable can fall into. As such, it is an alternative to the multinomial logit model as one method of multiclass classification. It is not to be confused with the multivariate probit model, which is used to model correlated binary outcomes for more than one independent variable. It is assumed that we have a series of observations Yi, for i = 1.
Feature (machine learning)In machine learning and pattern recognition, a feature is an individual measurable property or characteristic of a phenomenon. Choosing informative, discriminating and independent features is a crucial element of effective algorithms in pattern recognition, classification and regression. Features are usually numeric, but structural features such as strings and graphs are used in syntactic pattern recognition. The concept of "feature" is related to that of explanatory variable used in statistical techniques such as linear regression.
Categorical distributionIn probability theory and statistics, a categorical distribution (also called a generalized Bernoulli distribution, multinoulli distribution) is a discrete probability distribution that describes the possible results of a random variable that can take on one of K possible categories, with the probability of each category separately specified. There is no innate underlying ordering of these outcomes, but numerical labels are often attached for convenience in describing the distribution, (e.g. 1 to K).
Bayesian linear regressionBayesian linear regression is a type of conditional modeling in which the mean of one variable is described by a linear combination of other variables, with the goal of obtaining the posterior probability of the regression coefficients (as well as other parameters describing the distribution of the regressand) and ultimately allowing the out-of-sample prediction of the regressand (often labelled ) conditional on observed values of the regressors (usually ).
Hybrid kernelA hybrid kernel is an operating system kernel architecture that attempts to combine aspects and benefits of microkernel and monolithic kernel architectures used in operating systems. The traditional kernel categories are monolithic kernels and microkernels (with nanokernels and exokernels seen as more extreme versions of microkernels). The "hybrid" category is controversial, due to the similarity of hybrid kernels and ordinary monolithic kernels; the term has been dismissed by Linus Torvalds as simple marketing.
