Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

A continuous r. v. can only hypothetically assume any value on a continuum. When only an approximating discrete r. v. ("discretization") is observable, estimation procedures employing the hypothetical ...

Uniform distribution (continuous) In mathematics, the continuous uniform distributions are probability distributions such that all intervals of the same length are equally probable. When working with ...

We consider the relative performance of two common approaches to multiple imputation (MI): joint multivariate normal (MVN) MI, in which the data are modeled as a sample from a joint MVN distribution; ...
