Le g (« g » étant l'initiale de « gravité ») est une unité d'accélération correspondant approximativement à l'accélération de la pesanteur à la surface de la Terre. Elle est principalement utilisée en aéronautique, dans l'industrie automobile et dans celle des parcs d'attraction. Sa valeur conventionnelle, définie par la troisième conférence générale des poids et mesures de 1901, est de .
Propensity score matchingIn the statistical analysis of observational data, propensity score matching (PSM) is a statistical matching technique that attempts to estimate the effect of a treatment, policy, or other intervention by accounting for the covariates that predict receiving the treatment. PSM attempts to reduce the bias due to confounding variables that could be found in an estimate of the treatment effect obtained from simply comparing outcomes among units that received the treatment versus those that did not.

Spurious relationshipIn statistics, a spurious relationship or spurious correlation is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third, unseen factor (referred to as a "common response variable", "confounding factor", or "lurking variable"). An example of a spurious relationship can be found in the time-series literature, where a spurious regression is a one that provides misleading statistical evidence of a linear relationship between independent non-stationary variables.
