INTERDISCIPLINARY
100

The events where the occurrence or non-occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of the other event.

INDEPENDENT EVENTS

100

  2. Weight in kilograms (50 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, ...)
  3. Age in years (0 years, 1 year, 2 years, ...)

RATIO DATA

100

Focusing on successful individuals or entities while ignoring those that failed, leading to an overestimation of success rates.

SURVIVORSHIP BIAS

100

A statistical software is known for its user-friendly interface and is often used for introductory statistics courses due to its simplicity

R SOFTWARE

100

This statistical method is used to analyse patient data from multiple healthcare providers to improve quality and outcomes

HEALTH CARE ANALYTICS


200

The events that cannot occur together in the same trial or experiment.

MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS

200
  1. Longitude coordinates (-180, -170, -160, -150, ...)
  2. Music loudness (Decibels)
  3. Kinetic energy (Joules)

INTERVAL DATA

200

Seeking or interpreting information in a way that confirms preconceptions, leading to selective perception and disregarding contradictory evidence.


CONFIRMATION BIAS


200

A statistical software can you perform tasks such as data cleaning, visualization, and basic statistical analysis using a point-and-click interface, but also allows for more advanced analyses using its programming language

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

200

A branch of statistics is crucial for making predictions about future events based on historical data.

TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

300

It describes the likelihood of each possible outcome of a random variable in a given experiment. It assigns probabilities to each outcome or value that the random variable can take.

PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

300
  1. Customer satisfaction ratings (Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent)
  2. Pain intensity (Mild, Moderate, Severe)
  3. Service quality ratings (Low, Medium, High)

ORDINAL DATA


300

When the sample used in a study is not representative of the population, causing results to be skewed and not generalizable.

SAMPLING BIAS


300

A statistical software, often used in academic research, emphasizes Bayesian analysis and offers a comprehensive suite of tools for probabilistic programming and inference.

Stan

300

A branch of statistics  extensively used to determine the spatial variability of soil properties based on its capacity to quantify and minimize sampling errors

GEOSTATISTICS

400

The average value a random variable would take over a large number of repeated experiments. It represents the long-term average outcome.


EXPECTATION

400
  1. Gender (Male, Female)
  2. Eye color (Blue, Brown, Green)
  3. Marital status (Married, Single, Divorced)

NOMINAL DATA

400

Occurs when certain individuals or groups are systematically excluded or included in a study, leading to an inaccurate representation of the population.

SELECTION BIAS

400

A software is a Java-based system for visualizing statistical data

MONDRIAN

400

An analysis tool used in statistics that splits an observed aggregate variability found inside a data set into two parts: Systematic factor and random factors.


ANOVA

500

The dispersion or spread of the values of a random variable around its expected value. It quantifies how much the values deviate from the mean.

VARIANCE
