81Early European population statistics and censuses — In the last part of the 20th century, population censuses became a global phenomenon. More than 90% of the present world population is counted. Despite remaining issues of statistical confidentiality, census samples of individuals and households… …
82Comparisonwise error rate — In statistics, during multiple comparisons testing, comparisonwise error rate (also known as pairwise error rate) is the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis for one test, i.e., the probability of Type 1 error occurring. The α… …
83Censoring (statistics) — In statistics and engineering, censoring occurs when the value of an observation is only partially known. For example, suppose a study is conducted to measure the impact of a drug on mortality. In such a study, it may be known that an individual… …
84Path analysis (statistics) — In statistics, path analysis is a type of multiple regression analysis. Path analysis was invented by geneticist Sewall Wright around 1918 and he wrote about it more extensively in the 1920s. In addition to being thought of as a form of multiple… …
85Calibration (statistics) — Calibration in statistics is a reverse process to regression. The calibration problem is the use of known data on the observed relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable to make estimates of other values of the… …

87Normalization (statistics) — For other uses, see Standard score and Normalizing constant. In one usage in statistics, normalization is the process of isolating statistical error in repeated measured data. A normalization is sometimes based on a property. Quantile… …
88probable error — /prɒbəbəl ˈɛrə/ (say probuhbuhl eruh) noun Statistics a value such that the error in an error distribution is equally likely to be greater or smaller than it …
89standard error — n. Statistics a measure of the dispersion in the distribution of differences between expected and observed values of a statistic: the standard error of the mean is equal to the standard deviation of the original frequency distribution divided by… …
90sampling error — noun : the chance difference of a statistic from the corresponding population constant of which it is an estimate * * * ˈsampling error 7 [sampling error] noun (statistics) a situation in which a set of results or figures does not show a true… …
