busy field(s), occupiedfield(s), occupied array(s)/matrix(es) Explanation: fields that have numbers, variables, values, etc. ********************************************************************** Feld : field, array, matrix [Definition(1)]the physical quantity defined at all points in a region.By extension,the region in which the distribution exists [Definition(2)]the spatial distribution of a phenomenon to which numbers and/or quantities can be assigned fields that have numbers, variables, values, etc. Reference: http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/Controller |

field allocations Explanation: not sure if this might fit here; it is quite common for computer applications |

sample populations Explanation: * -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs 32 mins (2005-11-07 07:42:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- some explanation: the reliability of statistical calculations lies in numbers (and the integrity of the calculator ;-P) the required terminology here depends on your definition of 'sample': I used it in the meaning of a specific data point ('Feld') - the population (number of items) of each data point should be high enough; in 'sample distribution' it's used in the meaning of a subset ('N') of the total group in question and how the results are ditributed over possible data points ('Feld') IMO the source text refers to Feld = sample, so Feldbelegungen = sample populations, and sample distribution would have possibly been something like Feldverteilung Reference: http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/idl_html_help/mathematics6.htm... |

cell frequencies Explanation: you don't tell us what kind of statistical analysis is being conducted here, but the use of the chi-square test implies that we may be talking about results in the form of a contingency table. If so, the 'Felder' within the table are referred to as 'cells' and the value within the cell is the cell 'frequency'. 'Distribution' would be more relevant in graphical statistical analyses, but I'm not sure that 'Feld' would then make much sense: how are the boundaries of these 'Felder' within the graph defined? 'The observed cell frequencies are organized in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. This table of observed cell frequencies is called a contingency table, and the chi-square test if part of a contingency table analysis' http://www.statpac.com/statistics-calculator/counts.htm 'A key assumption of the Chi Square test of independence is that each subject contributes data to only one cell. Therefore the sum of all cell frequencies in the table must be the same as the number of subjects in the experiment.' http://psych.rice.edu/online_stat/chapter13/contingency.html |
