variance: Encyclopedia II - Estimation theory - Example: DC gain in white Gaussian noise

Consider a received discrete signal, x[n], of N independent samples that consists of a DC gain A with Additive white Gaussian noise w[n] with known variance σ2 (i.e., ). Since the variance is known then the only unknown parameter is A. The model for the signal is then Two possible (of ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Probability-generating function - Properties

Probability-generating function - Power series. Probability-generating functions obey all the rules of power series with non-negative coefficients. In particular, G(1-) = 1, since the probabilities must sum to one, and where G(1-) = limz→1G(z), then the radius of convergence of any probability-generating function must be at least 1, by Abel's theorem for power series with non-negative coefficients. Probability-generating function - Probabilities and expectations. The following properties allow t ...

First, a more general version of the inequality will be proven; namely, that if the expectation of T is denoted by ψ(θ), then for all θ The Cramér-Rao inequality will then follow as a consequence. Let X be a random variable with probability density function f(x,θ). Here T = t(X) is a ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Prior probability - Uninformative priors

An uninformative prior expresses vague or general information about a variable. The term "uninformative prior" is a misnomer; such a prior might be called a not very informative prior. Uninformative priors can express information such as "the variable is positive" or "the variable is less than some limit". Some authorities prefer the term objective prior. In parameter estimation problems, the use of an uninformative prior typically yields results which are not too different from conventional statistical analysis, as the likelihood function o ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Statistical dispersion - Measures of statistical dispersion

A measure of statistical dispersion is a real number that is zero if all the data are identical, and increases as the data becomes more diverse. An important measure of dispersion is the standard deviation, the square root of the variance (which is itself a measure of dispersion). Other such measures include the range, the interquartile range, and the average absolute deviation, and, in the case of categorical random variables, the discret ...

The moment-generating function is from which we may calculate the raw moments m k For a random variable following this distribution, the expected value is then m1 = (a + b)/2 and the variance is m2 − m12 = (b − a)2/12. This distribution can be generalized to more complicated set ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Random variable - Definitions

Random variable - Random variables. Some consider the expression random variable a misnomer, as a random variable is not a variable but rather a function that maps events to numbers. Let A be a σ-algebra and Ω the space of events relevant to the experiment being performed. In the die-rolling example, the space of events is just the possible outcomes of a roll, i.e. Ω = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }, and A would be the power set of Ω. In this case, an appropriate random variable might be the identi ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Amplitude-shift keying - Encoding

The simplest and most common form of ASK operates as a switch, using the presence of a carrier wave to indicate a binary one and its absence to indicate a binary zero. This type of modulation is called on-off keying, and is used at radio frequencies to transmit Morse code (referred to as continuous wave operation). More sophisticated encoding schemes have been developed which represent data in groups using additional amplitude levels. For instance, a four-level encoding scheme can represent two bits with each shift in amplitude ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Biological reproduction - Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants that have a combination of genetic material contributed from two (usually) different members of the species. Each of two parent organisms contributes half of the offspring's genetic makeup by creating haploid gametes. Most organisms form two different types of gametes. In these anisogamous species, the two sexes are referred to as male (producing sperm or microspores) and female (producing ova or megaspores). In isogamous species the ...

The notation AR(p) refers to an autoregressive model of order p. An AR(p) model is written where are the parameters of the model, c is a constant and εt is an error term (see below). The constant term is omitted by many authors for simplicity. An autoregressive model is essentially an infini ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Fisher information - Example: single parameter

The information contained in n independent Bernoulli trials, each with probability of success θ, may be calculated as follows. (The outcome is random and can be either of two possible outcomes called "success" and "failure" and can be thought of as flipping a coin with the probability of flipping a "head" is θ and the probability of flipping a "tail" is 1 − θ.) In the following, A ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - Mean - Arithmetic mean

The arithmetic mean is the "standard" average, often simply called the "mean". The mean may often be confused with the median or mode. The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of values, or distribution; however, for skewed distributions, the mean is not the same as the middle value (median), or most likely (mode). For example, mean income is skewed upwards by a small number of people with very large incomes, so that the majority have an income lower than the mean. By contrast, the median income is the l ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - True variance - Conventional language of computation

In statistics, the term true variance is often used to refer to the unobservable variance of a whole population, as distinguished from an observable statistic based on a sample. Suppose a number, such as a person's height or income or age or cholesterol level, is assigned to every member of a population of n individuals. Let xi be the number assigned to the ith individual, for i = 1, ..., n. Then ...

variance: Encyclopedia II - True variance - Variance and Information

Binarization of the vector x into its adjacent implicational matrix, shown below and subtraction of the transpose of this binarized implicational matrix from itself (cf., matrix subtraction) results in the same skew symmetric matrix as that of the major difference of the vector x. This matrix can be triangularized, into a skew asymmetrix matrix. The above matrix can provide information about the number of bits contained by the data, ...

The Lorenz curve is often used to characterize income and wealth distributions. For any distribution, the Lorenz curve L(F) is written in terms of the PDF (f(x)) or the CDF (F(x)) as: where x(F) is the inverse of the CDF. For the Pareto distribution, and the Lorenz curve is calculated to be: where k must be greater than or equal to unity, since the denominator in the expression for L(F) is just the mean value of x.

variance: Encyclopedia II - Confidence interval - Confidence intervals in measurement

More concretely, the results of measurements are often accompanied by confidence intervals. For instance, suppose a scale is known to yield the actual mass of an object plus a normally distributed random error with mean 0 and known standard deviation σ. If we weigh 100 objects of known mass on this scale and report the values ± σ, then we can expect to find that around 68 of the reported ranges include the actual mass. If we report the values ± 2σ, then around 95 of the reported ranges will include the actual mass. ...
