  2. Proportion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(mathematics)

    Fundamental rule of proportion. This rule is sometimes called MeansExtremes Property. [4] If the ratios are expressed as fractions, then the same rule can be phrased in terms of the equality of "cross-products" [2] and is called Cross‐Products Property.

  3. Distribution of the product of two random variables - Wikipedia

    A much simpler result, stated in a section above, is that the variance of the product of zero-mean independent samples is equal to the product of their variances. Since the variance of each Normal sample is one, the variance of the product is also one. The product of two Gaussian samples is often confused with the product of two Gaussian PDFs.

    The Bates distribution is the distribution of the mean of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1]. The logit-normal distribution on (0,1). The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions.

  5. Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).

  6. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    The definition of local minimum point can also proceed similarly. In both the global and local cases, the concept of a strict extremum can be defined. For example, x ∗ is a strict global maximum point if for all x in X with x ≠ x ∗ , we have f ( x ∗ ) > f ( x ) , and x ∗ is a strict local maximum point if there exists some ε > 0 such ...

  7. Product measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_measure

    Then, for the minimal product measure the measure of a set is the sum of the measures of its horizontal sections, while for the maximal product measure a set has measure infinity unless it is contained in the union of a countable number of sets of the form A×B, where either A has Lebesgue measure 0 or B is a single point. (In this case the ...

    The most important cases of convergence in r-th mean are: When X n converges in r-th mean to X for r = 1, we say that X n converges in mean to X. When X n converges in r-th mean to X for r = 2, we say that X n converges in mean square (or in quadratic mean) to X. Convergence in the r-th mean, for r ≥ 1, implies convergence in probability (by ...

  9. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    Despite the newly abstract situation, this definition is extremely similar in nature to the very simplest definition of expected values, given above, as certain weighted averages. This is because, in measure theory, the value of the Lebesgue integral of X is defined via weighted averages of approximations of X which take on finitely many values ...
