WordDefinition
random variablenoun(statistics, loosely) A quantity whose value is random and to which a probability distribution is assigned, such as the possible outcome of a roll of a dice.
random effects modelIn econometrics, a random effects model, also called a variance components model, is a statistical model where the model parameters are random variables.
mixture distributionIn probability and statistics, a mixture distribution is the probability distribution of a random variable that is derived from a collection of other random variables as follows: first, a random variable is selected by chance from the collection according to given probabilities of selection, and then the value of the selected random variable is realized.
random matrixIn probability theory and mathematical physics, a random matrix is a matrix-valued random variable—that is, a matrix in which some or all of its entries are sampled randomly from a probability distribution.
conditional varianceIn probability theory and statistics, a conditional variance is the variance of a random variable given the value(s) of one or more other variables.
compound probability distributionIn probability and statistics, a compound probability distribution (also known as a mixture distribution or contagious distribution) is the probability distribution that results from assuming that a random variable is distributed according to some parametrized distribution, with (some of) the parameters of that distribution themselves being random variables.
probability distributionnoun(statistics) A distribution of all possible values of a random variable together with an indication of their probabilities.
multivariate random variableIn probability, and statistics, a multivariate random variable or random vector is a list or vector of mathematical variables each of whose value is unknown, either because the value has not yet occurred or because there is imperfect knowledge of its value.
stochastic volatilityIn statistics, stochastic volatility models are those in which the variance of a stochastic process is itself randomly distributed.
stochastic processnoun(mathematics, probability theory) A function that maps elements of an index set to elements of a collection of random variables; historically, a collection of random variables indexed by a set of numbers usually regarded as points in time.
pseudo-random number sampling
normal random variablenoun(probability theory, statistics) A random variable whose probability distribution is a normal distribution.
random numbernounA number allotted randomly using suitable generator (electronic machine or as simple "generator" as die).
marginal distributionnounThe projection of a joint probability distribution onto one of its component random variables.
random dynamical systemIn the mathematical field of dynamical systems, a random dynamical system is a dynamical system in which the equations of motion have an element of randomness to them.
sample spacenoun(probability theory) The set of all possible outcomes of a game, experiment or other situation.
densitynoun(physics) A measure of the mass of matter contained by a unit volume.
random number generationa process by which, often by means of a random number generator, a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.
hypergeometric random variablenoun(probability theory, statistics) A random variable whose probability distribution is a hypergeometric distribution.
probability mass functionnoun(mathematics) A function that gives the relative probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value.
