Credible interval, an Uncommon card
In Bayesian statistics, a credible interval is an interval used to characterize a probability distribution.
- Rarity
- Uncommon
- Domain
- Science
- ATK
- 52
- DEF
- 20
- Power
- 72
- Wikipedia reads a year
- 26,000
Power 72 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 15 % of WikiCards cards.
Credible interval quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Credible interval card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It is defined such that an ______ parameter value has a particular probability γ to fall within it.
Answer
unobserved. It is defined such that an unobserved parameter value has a particular probability γ to fall within it. From the Credible interval article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Kad Merad. Kad Merad 57 · Credible interval 52 · Ian Brzezinski 49 · 2CB-5OCD3 44 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Credible interval. Credible interval 26,000 · 2CB-5OCD3 200 · List of mayors of Macapá 160 · HSD3B7 59 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is defined such that an unobserved parameter value has a particular probability γ to fall within it.
- For example, in an experiment that determines the distribution of possible values of the parameter μ, if the probability that μ lies between 35 and 45 is γ = 0.95, then 35 ≤ μ ≤ 45 is a 95% credible interval.
- Credible intervals are typically used to characterize posterior probability distributions or predictive probability distributions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Credible interval article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
How to get Credible interval
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
