non-random: a sample selected by a non-random method
Category: Statistics

pseudorandom: having the property of being produced by a definite calculation process while simultaneously satisfying one or more of the standard tests for statistical randomness
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

quasi-random: under certain conditions,largely governed by the method of compiling the sampling frame or list,a systematic sample of every nth entry from a list will be equivalent for most practical purposes to a random sample.This method of sampling is sometimes referred to as quasi-random sampling
Category: Statistics

random: this word may be taken as representing an undefined idea,or,if defined,must be expressed in terms of the concept of probability.A process of selection applied to a set of objects is said to be random of it gives to each one a known and non-zero chance of being chosen.Generally,the use of the word 'random' implies that the process under consideration is in some sense probabilistic
Category: Mathematics

random: governed by the laws of chance,unpredictable,non-deterministic
Category: Electrical engineering and energy

random: said of events that are unpredictable because of their occurrence is unrelated to their characteristics
Category: Statistics

random-acces: separate program furnished by manufacturers to sort data stored on random-access disks and drums
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

random-acces: external storage with direct access
Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

randomisation: the process by which experimental units (the basic objects upon which the study or experiment is carried out) are allocated to treatments; that is, by a random process and not by any subjective and hence possibly biased approach. The treatments should be allocated to units in such a way that each treatment is equally likely to be applied to each unit
Category: Statistics

randomisation: the generation of whole or part of the randomisation set
Category: Statistics

randomise: an expression to be avoided.It occurs in the meaning of a test in which the decision to accept or reject depends on the value of a random variable.It should not be confused with randomisation test
Category: Statistics

randomise: a statistical model,generally an experiment design,where the treatment combinations are assigned to experimental units by some random arrangement
Category: Statistics

randomise: a study in which participants are assigned by chance to separate groups that compare different treatments
Category: Medicine

randomise: an experimental design in which each block contains a complete replication of the treatments,which are allocated to the various units within the blocks in a random manner and hence allow unbiassed estimates of error to be constructed
Category: Statistics

randomise: a technique suggested by Warner(1965)for eliminating evasive answer bias in sample surveys of human populations.The respondent selects a question on a probability basis from two or more questions presented to him without revealing to the interviewer which has been chosen,and records the answer.A batch of such replies provides useful information for estimating the proportion of the population that has the`sensitive characteristic`
Category: Statistics

randomise: a decision function which is selected from a set of possible decision functions with the help of a chance mechanism,telling the experimenter,before the outcome of an experiment is known,exactly what action to take as a result of the experiment
Category: Statistics

randomise: a design in which the subjects are matched according to a variable which the experimenter wishes to control.The subjects are put into groups(blocks)of the same size as the number of treatments.The members of each block are then randomly assigned to different treatment groups
Category: Statistics

randomise: a class of design proposed by Ehrenfeld & Zachs(1961)which yield unbiassed estimators,valid tests and confidence intervals for the parameters of interest without the usual assumptions concerning the confounding of higher order interaction
Category: Statistics

randomization: controlled distribution usu. of given tests..etc...so as to simulate a random or chance distribution....A random process used in a statistical experiment to reduce or eliminate interference by var iables..
Category: Statistics

randomized: of objects,treatments,etc.arranged or applied in an order determined entirely by chance,i.e.at random
Category: Statistics

randomness: Abbe-Helmert criterion: a test of -- in a time-series based upon the fact that a random series autocorrelation coefficients of order 'k', for all 'k' greater than zero, should vanish.
Category: Statistics

re-randomisation: the process of generating alternative arrangements of given data which would be consistent with the experimental design
Category: Statistics
