Definition Vector
In the context of mathematics and statistics, a vector is a collection of values. The ordering of the values matters as much as the values themselves: a vector is used indeed to convey both the information about its values and the order of these values.
Please note that the definitions in our statistics encyclopedia are simplified explanations of terms. Our goal is to make the definitions accessible for a broad audience; thus it is possible that some definitions do not adhere entirely to scientific standards.
