  2. Covariance matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_matrix

    Throughout this article, boldfaced unsubscripted and are used to refer to random vectors, and Roman subscripted and are used to refer to scalar random variables.. If the entries in the column vector = (,, …,) are random variables, each with finite variance and expected value, then the covariance matrix is the matrix whose (,) entry is the covariance [1]: 177 ...

  3. Dirichlet distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_distribution

    Values of the concentration parameter above 1 prefer variates that are dense, evenly distributed distributions, i.e. all the values within a single sample are similar to each other. Values of the concentration parameter below 1 prefer sparse distributions, i.e. most of the values within a single sample will be close to 0, and the vast majority ...

  4. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    Any definition of expected value may be extended to define an expected value of a multidimensional random variable, i.e. a random vector X. It is defined component by component, as E[X] i = E[X i]. Similarly, one may define the expected value of a random matrix X with components X ij by E[X] ij = E[X ij].

  5. Erdős–Rényi model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Rényi_model

    A graph generated by the binomial model of Erdős and Rényi (p = 0.01) In the (,) model, a graph is chosen uniformly at random from the collection of all graphs which have nodes and edges. The nodes are considered to be labeled, meaning that graphs obtained from each other by permuting the vertices are considered to be distinct.

  6. Indicator function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_function

    In classical mathematics, characteristic functions of sets only take values 1 (members) or 0 (non-members). In fuzzy set theory , characteristic functions are generalized to take value in the real unit interval [0, 1] , or more generally, in some algebra or structure (usually required to be at least a poset or lattice ).

  7. Estimation of covariance matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_of_covariance...

    The sample covariance matrix (SCM) is an unbiased and efficient estimator of the covariance matrix if the space of covariance matrices is viewed as an extrinsic convex cone in R p×p; however, measured using the intrinsic geometry of positive-definite matrices, the SCM is a biased and inefficient estimator. [1]
