Statistic

Summary

A statistic is a quantity computed from a sample, by a fixed rule that does not depend on unknown parameters. Examples are the sample mean and the sample maximum. The node statistic gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
