Kelly Criterion

The Kelly Criterion (1956) is a formula for optimal bet sizing that maximizes the long-run logarithmic growth of wealth. It specifies the optimal fraction of capital to risk on each trade based on win probability and payoff ratio. The criterion has become foundational in quantitative trading, portfolio management, and

Kendall Tau Correlation

Kendall Tau is a nonparametric rank correlation coefficient introduced by Maurice G. Kendall in 1938 to measure the strength and direction of a monotone association between two ordinal or continuous variables. It is particularly suited to small samples and datasets containing many tied ranks, where the Spearman coeffic

Kendall's tau

Kendall's tau is a nonparametric measure of the ordinal association between two variables. It quantifies how consistently the relative ordering of one variable matches the ordering of another across all observation pairs, making it robust to outliers and suitable for ordinal or non-normally distributed data.

Kernel Density Estimation

Kernel Density Estimation is a nonparametric method that estimates a continuous probability density by placing a smooth kernel function over each observation, without assuming any parametric distribution. It traces back to Rosenblatt (1956) and the textbook treatment by Silverman (1986), and it also supports distributi

The KPSS test, introduced by Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin in 1992, tests the null hypothesis that a series is stationary against the alternative that it contains a unit root — the reverse of the ADF and Phillips-Perron tests. By flipping the burden of proof, it is designed to be used alongside unit-root test

The Kruskal-Wallis H test is a nonparametric hypothesis test that compares three or more independent groups to decide whether their distributions (typically their medians) differ.

Landmark Analysis

Landmark analysis, introduced by Anderson, Cain, and Gelber in 1983, estimates conditional survival probabilities for subjects who are still at risk at a pre-specified point in time — the landmark — rather than at study entry.

Landscape Metrics

Landscape metrics are quantitative indices that describe the composition and spatial configuration of a categorical map — typically land cover — at the patch, class, and whole-landscape levels.

Laplace Approximation

The Laplace approximation is a classical analytic technique that replaces an intractable posterior distribution with a multivariate Gaussian centred at the posterior mode, using the curvature of the log-posterior at that mode to set the covariance.

Lasso Regression

Lasso regression, introduced by Robert Tibshirani in 1996, is a linear regression method that adds an L1 penalty to the loss so that it shrinks coefficients and performs variable selection at the same time, producing a sparse model. By driving some coefficients exactly to zero it keeps only the predictors that matter.

Least Median of Squares

Least Median of Squares is a robust linear regression method introduced by Peter J. Rousseeuw in 1984. Instead of minimising the sum of squared residuals like ordinary least squares, it minimises the median of the squared residuals, which lets the fit resist contamination by up to roughly 50% outliers.
