Annals of Statistics
The Annals of Statistics is a peer-reviewed statistics journal published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

Bayes estimator
In estimation theory and decision theory, a Bayes estimator or a Bayes action is an estimator or decision rule that minimizes the posterior expected value of a loss function (i.e., the posterior expected loss).
See Probabilistic classification and Bayes estimator
Bayes' theorem
Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule, after Thomas Bayes) gives a mathematical rule for inverting conditional probabilities, allowing us to find the probability of a cause given its effect.
See Probabilistic classification and Bayes' theorem
Bias of an estimator
In statistics, the bias of an estimator (or bias function) is the difference between this estimator's expected value and the true value of the parameter being estimated.
See Probabilistic classification and Bias of an estimator
Bias–variance tradeoff
In statistics and machine learning, the bias–variance tradeoff describes the relationship between a model's complexity, the accuracy of its predictions, and how well it can make predictions on previously unseen data that were not used to train the model. Probabilistic classification and bias–variance tradeoff are statistical classification.

Binary classification is the task of classifying the elements of a set into one of two groups (each called class). Probabilistic classification and Binary classification are statistical classification.

Conditional probability
In probability theory, conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event (by assumption, presumption, assertion or evidence) is already known to have occurred.
See Probabilistic classification and Conditional probability
Cross-entropy
In information theory, the cross-entropy between two probability distributions p and q, over the same underlying set of events, measures the average number of bits needed to identify an event drawn from the set when the coding scheme used for the set is optimized for an estimated probability distribution q, rather than the true distribution p.

Data mining
Data mining is the process of extracting and discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems.

Decision tree learning
Decision tree learning is a supervised learning approach used in statistics, data mining and machine learning.

Discrete choice
In economics, discrete choice models, or qualitative choice models, describe, explain, and predict choices between two or more discrete alternatives, such as entering or not entering the labor market, or choosing between modes of transport.

Document classification
Document classification or document categorization is a problem in library science, information science and computer science.

Ensemble learning
In statistics and machine learning, ensemble methods use multiple learning algorithms to obtain better predictive performance than could be obtained from any of the constituent learning algorithms alone.

Generative model
In statistical classification, two main approaches are called the generative approach and the discriminative approach. Probabilistic classification and generative model are probabilistic models.

Isotonic regression
In statistics and numerical analysis, isotonic regression or monotonic regression is the technique of fitting a free-form line to a sequence of observations such that the fitted line is non-decreasing (or non-increasing) everywhere, and lies as close to the observations as possible.
See Probabilistic classification and Isotonic regression
Logistic regression
In statistics, the logistic model (or logit model) is a statistical model that models the log-odds of an event as a linear combination of one or more independent variables. Probabilistic classification and logistic regression are statistical classification.

Loss function
In mathematical optimization and decision theory, a loss function or cost function (sometimes also called an error function) is a function that maps an event or values of one or more variables onto a real number intuitively representing some "cost" associated with the event.

Machine learning
Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.

Multiclass classification
In machine learning and statistical classification, multiclass classification or multinomial classification is the problem of classifying instances into one of three or more classes (classifying instances into one of two classes is called binary classification).

Multilayer perceptron
A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a name for a modern feedforward artificial neural network, consisting of fully connected neurons with a nonlinear activation function, organized in at least three layers, notable for being able to distinguish data that is not linearly separable.

In statistics, naive Bayes classifiers are a family of linear "probabilistic classifiers" which assumes that the features are conditionally independent, given the target class. Probabilistic classification and naive Bayes classifier are statistical classification.
