relative frequency

Mathematics
  • The ratio n/N where n is the observed number of a particular event, and N is the number of trials. As N gets large, the weak law of large numbers says that n/N will tend to the probability of that event with a probability of 1. In cases where no way of calculating a probability exists, then the value of n/N can be used to estimate this probability. The larger the value of N, the better this statistic is as an estimator.


Statistics
  • See frequency.


Computer
  • The number of occurrences of a particular event, E, divided by the total number of observed events. An event is a particular instance of a class of observations, such as the result of the throw of dice, the recording of a man’s height, or the survival of a patient given a particular treatment. Relative frequency should be distinguished from probability. For example, the probability that a fair coin when tossed lands heads up is 0.5, whereas the relative frequency in a particular run of 100 tosses might be 47/100 or 0.47.

    The set of relative frequencies for all the events that are possible is called a frequency distribution. It may be displayed graphically as a histogram.
