 data-visualisation× 2 coverage-probability× 2 cv.glm× 2 an R function in package boot to do cross-validation for generalized linear models (GLM). dag× 2 DAG stands for Directed Acyclic Graph. DAGs are commonly used to help people think about causal patterns amongst variables. data-association× 2 control× 2 consulting× 2 for questions about statistical consulting, working with clients and so on. dispersion× 2 very ambiguous. Dispersion is a general term for how spread apart values are. For questions related to disease dissemination content, use the tag epidemiology. For other meanings of disper… down-sample× 2 cheating× 2 confusion-matrix× 2 blue× 2 BLUE refers to Best Linear Unbiased Estimators. bernoulli-process× 2 benchmark× 2 absolute-risk× 2 a synonym for incidence.

Pioneering work in the study of heuristics was done by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. starting-values× 2 Many computational statistical problems (including some estimation problems, such as fitting GLMs) cannot be solved in a single calculation step - their algorithms must be iterated repeatedly until co… statistical-bias× 2 structure-learning× 2 sandwich× 2 ronald-fisher× 2 Sir Ronald Fisher was one of the founders of modern statistics. Use this tag for questions pertaining to the man or his philosophy, etc. Otherwise, consider using more specific tags, such as [fisherse… quotation× 2 recursive-model× 2 referee× 2 to evaluate in a timely manner a paper for publication in a specific journal or conference proceedings. regression-to-the-mean× 2 puzzle× 2 for statistical puzzles that challenge the ingenuity of the solver.
