Distribution of the product of two random variablesA product distribution is a probability distribution constructed as the distribution of the product of random variables having two other known distributions. Given two statistically independent random variables X and Y, the distribution of the random variable Z that is formed as the product is a product distribution. The product distribution is the PDF of the product of sample values. This is not the same as the product of their PDF's yet the concepts are often ambiguously termed as "product of Gaussians".
Paired difference testIn statistics, a paired difference test is a type of location test that is used when comparing two sets of paired measurements to assess whether their population means differ. A paired difference test uses additional information about the sample that is not present in an ordinary unpaired testing situation, either to increase the statistical power, or to reduce the effects of confounders.
Entropie conditionnelleEn théorie de l'information, l'entropie conditionnelle décrit la quantité d'information nécessaire pour connaitre le comportement d'une variable aléatoire , lorsque l'on connait exactement une variable aléatoire . On note l'entropie conditionnelle de sachant . On dit aussi parfois entropie de conditionnée par . Comme les autres entropies, elle se mesure généralement en bits. On peut introduire l'entropie conditionnelle de plusieurs façons, soit directement à partir des probabilités conditionnelles, soit en passant par l'entropie conjointe.
Rank correlationIn statistics, a rank correlation is any of several statistics that measure an ordinal association—the relationship between rankings of different ordinal variables or different rankings of the same variable, where a "ranking" is the assignment of the ordering labels "first", "second", "third", etc. to different observations of a particular variable. A rank correlation coefficient measures the degree of similarity between two rankings, and can be used to assess the significance of the relation between them.
