A statistic is a characteristic of a sample. Generally, a statistic is used to estimate the value of a population parameter. For instance, suppose we selected a random sample of 100 students from a school with 1000 students. The average height of the sampled students would be an example of a statistic.
C8709
A variance-covariance matrix is a square matrix that contains the variances and covariances associated with several variables. The diagonal elements of the matrix contain the variances of the variables and the off-diagonal elements contain the covariances between all possible pairs of variables.
C8710
In statistics, a unimodal probability distribution or unimodal distribution is a probability distribution which has a single peak. The term "mode" in this context refers to any peak of the distribution, not just to the strict definition of mode which is usual in statistics.

Common tools for performing an assessment of the internal and external factors impacting on strategic decisions are SWOT, and PEST or PESTEL analysis.
C8712
Covariance provides insight into how two variables are related to one another. More precisely, covariance refers to the measure of how two random variables in a data set will change together. A positive covariance means that the two variables at hand are positively related, and they move in the same direction.
C8713
Estimation, in statistics, any of numerous procedures used to calculate the value of some property of a population from observations of a sample drawn from the population. A point estimate, for example, is the single number most likely to express the value of the property.

The most common threshold is p < 0.05, which means that the data is likely to occur less than 5% of the time under the null hypothesis. When the p-value falls below the chosen alpha value, then we say the result of the test is statistically significant.
C8717
Parametric alternatives. Another approach to robust estimation of regression models is to replace the normal distribution with a heavy-tailed distribution. A t-distribution with 4–6 degrees of freedom has been reported to be a good choice in various practical situations.
C8718
You can tell if two random variables are independent by looking at their individual probabilities. If those probabilities don't change when the events meet, then those variables are independent. Another way of saying this is that if the two variables are correlated, then they are not independent.
C8719
Adam is a replacement optimization algorithm for stochastic gradient descent for training deep learning models. Adam combines the best properties of the AdaGrad and RMSProp algorithms to provide an optimization algorithm that can handle sparse gradients on noisy problems.
C8720

C8721
Deep Neural Networks struggle with the vanishing gradient problem because of the way back propagation is done by calculating an error value for each neuron, starting with the output layer working it's way back to the input layer. Back-propagation then uses the chain rule to calculate the gradient for each neuron.
C8722
To calculate the true p-value, we just need to multiply 0.0968 by two, or 0.1936. This would be a p-value of 19.36%. The second method is using a graphing calculator. This can give us a more exact number because we will not have to cut off the z-score at the hundredths place.
C8723
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors allow us to "reduce" a linear operation to separate, simpler, problems. For example, if a stress is applied to a "plastic" solid, the deformation can be dissected into "principle directions"- those directions in which the deformation is greatest.

Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available. Bayesian updating is particularly important in the dynamic analysis of a sequence of data.
C8735
The natural logarithm, or logarithm to base e, is the inverse function to the natural exponential function. The natural logarithm of a number k > 1 can be defined directly as the area under the curve y = 1/x between x = 1 and x = k, in which case e is the value of k for which this area equals one (see image).

Factor loading is basically the correlation coefficient for the variable and factor. Factor loading shows the variance explained by the variable on that particular factor. In the SEM approach, as a rule of thumb, 0.7 or higher factor loading represents that the factor extracts sufficient variance from that variable.
C8747
The loss is calculated on training and validation and its interpretation is based on how well the model is doing in these two sets. It is the sum of errors made for each example in training or validation sets. Loss value implies how poorly or well a model behaves after each iteration of optimization.

As you have seen, in order to perform a likelihood ratio test, one must estimate both of the models one wishes to compare. The advantage of the Wald and Lagrange multiplier (or score) tests is that they approximate the LR test, but require that only one model be estimated.
C8750
Log-likelihood values cannot be used alone as an index of fit because they are a function of sample size but can be used to compare the fit of different coefficients. Because you want to maximize the log-likelihood, the higher value is better. For example, a log-likelihood value of -3 is better than -7.
C8751
A vector error correction (VEC) model is a restricted VAR designed for use with nonstationary series that are known to be cointegrated. The cointegration term is known as the error correction term since the deviation from long-run equilibrium is corrected gradually through a series of partial short-run adjustments.

Yes, you should check normality of errors AFTER modeling. In linear regression, errors are assumed to follow a normal distribution with a mean of zero. Let's do some simulations and see how normality influences analysis results and see what could be consequences of normality violation.
C8756
Two events are said to be mutually exclusive when the two events cannot occur at the same time. For instance, when you throw a coin the event that a head appears and the event that a tail appears are mutually exclusive because they cannot occur at the same time, it's either a head appears or a tail appears.
