Semi-supervised Bagging

Semi-supervised Bagging extends the classical bagging ensemble to settings where labeled training examples are scarce but large amounts of unlabeled data are available. Base learners trained on labeled data assign pseudo-labels to unlabeled examples; the expanded dataset is then used to grow a diverse ensemble whose ag

Sequential Analysis

Sequential analysis is a framework for conducting hypothesis tests with pre-planned interim looks at accumulating data, allowing a study to stop early for efficacy or futility while controlling the overall Type I error rate.

Sn and Qn are robust estimators of scale (spread) proposed by Rousseeuw and Croux (1993) as alternatives to the median absolute deviation (MAD).
