Probability
41Probability theory — is the branch of mathematics concerned with analysis of random phenomena.[1] The central objects of probability theory are random variables, stochastic processes, and events: mathematical abstractions of non deterministic events or measured… …
42Probability density — may refer to: * Probability density function in probability theory * Probability amplitude in quantum mechanics …
43probability sampling — UK US noun [U] MARKETING ► the process of getting information by asking questions of a group of people who are chosen by chance, so that the answers will be typical of those of the general population: »Based on a probability sampling, the… …
44Probability matching — is a suboptimal decision strategy in which predictions of class membership are proportional to the class base rates. Thus, if in the training set positive examples are observed 60% of the time, and negative examples are observed 40% of the time,… …
45probability theory — Math., Statistics. the theory of analyzing and making statements concerning the probability of the occurrence of uncertain events. Cf. probability (def. 4). [1830 40] * * * Branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of random events.… …
46Probability interpretations — The word probability has been used in a variety of ways since it was first coined in relation to games of chance. Does probability measure the real, physical tendency of something to occur, or is it just a measure of how strongly one believes it… …
47Probability distribution — This article is about probability distribution. For generalized functions in mathematical analysis, see Distribution (mathematics). For other uses, see Distribution (disambiguation). In probability theory, a probability mass, probability density …
48Probability space — This article is about mathematical term. For the novel, see Probability Space (novel). In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple is a mathematical construct that models a real world process (or experiment ) consisting of… …
49Probability density function — Boxplot and probability density function of a normal distribution N(0, σ2). In probability theory, a probability density function (pdf), or density of a continuous random variable is a function that describes the relative likelihood for this… …
50probability and statistics — ▪ mathematics Introduction the branches of mathematics concerned with the laws governing random events, including the collection, analysis, interpretation, and display of numerical data. Probability has its origin in the study of gambling… …
