1、 coefficient of determination The coefficient of determination is the ratio of the sum of squared regression to the sum of squared total.the coefficient of determination is such that 0 = r 2 = 1, and denotes the strength of the linear association between x and y. The coefficient of determination represents the percent of the data that is the closest to the line of best fit 2、 p-value In statistical significance testing, the p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. One often rejects the null hypothesis when the p-value is less than the significance level a , which is often 0.05 or 0.01. When the null hypothesis is rejected, the result is said to be statistically significant.在零假设成立条件下，出现统计量目前值及更不 利于零假设数值的概率 3、 confidence interval a type of statistical interval estimate for an unknown parameter: a range of values believed to contain the parameter, with a predetermined degree of confidence. Its endpoints are the confidence limits, and it has a stated probability (confidence coefficient) of containing the parameter. The range of numerical values in which one can be confident (to a computed probability — e.g., 90 or 95%), that the population value being estimated will be found. 4、 life table A statistical model for measuring the mortality (or any other type of “ exit” ) experiences of a population, controlling for age distributions may be a current life table, when all of the people in a population at one time are surveyed, or a cohort table, when all of the people born in a particular time span are dealt with as a group. 5、 Meta-Analysis a systematic method of evaluating statistical data based on results of several independent studies of the same problem. 6、 Partial regression coefficient Statistics in the population multiple linear regression equation that indicate the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable with the influence of
