Linear probability modelIn statistics, a linear probability model (LPM) is a special case of a binary regression model. Here the dependent variable for each observation takes values which are either 0 or 1. The probability of observing a 0 or 1 in any one case is treated as depending on one or more explanatory variables. For the "linear probability model", this relationship is a particularly simple one, and allows the model to be fitted by linear regression.
Generalized linear mixed modelIn statistics, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is an extension to the generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor contains random effects in addition to the usual fixed effects. They also inherit from GLMs the idea of extending linear mixed models to non-normal data. GLMMs provide a broad range of models for the analysis of grouped data, since the differences between groups can be modelled as a random effect. These models are useful in the analysis of many kinds of data, including longitudinal data.
Implicit attitudeImplicit attitudes are evaluations that occur without conscious awareness towards an attitude object or the self. These evaluations are generally either favorable or unfavorable and come about from various influences in the individual experience. The commonly used definition of implicit attitude within cognitive and social psychology comes from Anthony Greenwald and Mahzarin Banaji's template for definitions of terms related to implicit cognition: "Implicit attitudes are introspectively unidentified (or inaccurately identified) traces of past experience that mediate favorable or unfavorable feeling, thought, or action toward social objects".
Margin (machine learning)In machine learning the margin of a single data point is defined to be the distance from the data point to a decision boundary. Note that there are many distances and decision boundaries that may be appropriate for certain datasets and goals. A margin classifier is a classifier that explicitly utilizes the margin of each example while learning a classifier. There are theoretical justifications (based on the VC dimension) as to why maximizing the margin (under some suitable constraints) may be beneficial for machine learning and statistical inferences algorithms.
Empirical risk minimizationEmpirical risk minimization (ERM) is a principle in statistical learning theory which defines a family of learning algorithms and is used to give theoretical bounds on their performance. The core idea is that we cannot know exactly how well an algorithm will work in practice (the true "risk") because we don't know the true distribution of data that the algorithm will work on, but we can instead measure its performance on a known set of training data (the "empirical" risk).
Risk aversionIn economics and finance, risk aversion is the tendency of people to prefer outcomes with low uncertainty to those outcomes with high uncertainty, even if the average outcome of the latter is equal to or higher in monetary value than the more certain outcome. Risk aversion explains the inclination to agree to a situation with a more predictable, but possibly lower payoff, rather than another situation with a highly unpredictable, but possibly higher payoff.
Algorithme du gradientLalgorithme du gradient, aussi appelé algorithme de descente de gradient, désigne un algorithme d'optimisation différentiable. Il est par conséquent destiné à minimiser une fonction réelle différentiable définie sur un espace euclidien (par exemple, , l'espace des n-uplets de nombres réels, muni d'un produit scalaire) ou, plus généralement, sur un espace hilbertien. L'algorithme est itératif et procède donc par améliorations successives. Au point courant, un déplacement est effectué dans la direction opposée au gradient, de manière à faire décroître la fonction.
Implicit cognitionImplicit cognition refers to cognitive processes that occur outside conscious awareness or conscious control. This includes domains such as learning, perception, or memory which may influence a person's behavior without their conscious awareness of those influences. Implicit cognition is everything one does and learns unconsciously or without any awareness that one is doing it. An example of implicit cognition could be when a person first learns to ride a bike: at first they are aware that they are learning the required skills.
Risk–return spectrumThe risk–return spectrum (also called the risk–return tradeoff or risk–reward) is the relationship between the amount of return gained on an investment and the amount of risk undertaken in that investment. The more return sought, the more risk that must be undertaken. There are various classes of possible investments, each with their own positions on the overall risk-return spectrum. The general progression is: short-term debt; long-term debt; property; high-yield debt; equity.
Apprentissage par renforcement profondL'apprentissage par renforcement profond (en anglais : deep reinforcement learning ou deep RL) est un sous-domaine de l'apprentissage automatique (en anglais : machine learning) qui combine l'apprentissage par renforcement et l'apprentissage profond (en anglais : deep learning). L'apprentissage par renforcement considère le problème d'un agent informatique (par exemple, un robot, un agent conversationnel, un personnage dans un jeu vidéo, etc.) qui apprend à prendre des décisions par essais et erreurs.
RisqueLe risque est la possibilité de survenue d'un événement indésirable, la probabilité d’occurrence d'un péril probable ou d'un aléa. Le risque est une notion complexe, de définitions multiples car d'usage multidisciplinaire. Néanmoins, il est un concept très usité depuis le , par exemple sous la forme de l'expression , notamment pour qualifier, dans le sens commun, un événement, un inconvénient qu'il est raisonnable de prévenir ou de redouter l'éventualité.
Gestion des risquesLa gestion des risques, ou l'anglicisme, management du risque (de l'risk management), est la discipline visant à identifier, évaluer et hiérarchiser les risques liés aux activités d'une organisation, quelles que soient la nature ou l'origine de ces risques, puis à les traiter méthodiquement, de manière coordonnée et économique, afin de réduire et contrôler la probabilité des événements redoutés, et leur impact éventuel.
