Encyclopedia > Data point

In statistics, a data point is a single typed measurement. Here type is used in a way compatible with datatype in computing; so that the type of measurement can specify whether the measurement results in a Boolean value from {yes, no}, an integer or real number, or some vector or array. The implication of point is therefore that the data may be plotted in a graphic display, but in many cases the data are processed numerically before that is done.

Importing, Viewing, and Preprocessing Data (Curve Fitting Toolbox) (856 words)
The data point to be smoothed has the largest weight and the most influence on the fit.
Data points outside the span have zero weight and no influence on the fit.
For example, when you smooth the data point with the smallest predictor value, the shape of the weight function is truncated by one half, the leftmost data point in the span has the largest weight, and all the neighboring points are to the right of the smoothed value.

Some data is recorded based on a small area around the point, the field where the data point is located, or along a transect going through the data point.
A point that had a landuse value of corn or soybeans and a earth cover value of over 90% row crop was separated into a group eligible for classification of the image (pure group).
