  2. Local property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_property

    Each point has a neighborhood exhibiting the property; Each point has a neighborhood base of sets exhibiting the property. Here, note that condition (2) is for the most part stronger than condition (1), and that extra caution should be taken to distinguish between the two.

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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_the...

    We find the desired probability density function by taking the derivative of both sides with respect to . Since on the right hand side, appears only in the integration limits, the derivative is easily performed using the fundamental theorem of calculus and the chain rule. (Note the negative sign that is needed when the variable occurs in the ...

  4. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    Note that in the one-variable case, the Hessian condition simply gives the usual second derivative test. In the two variable case, (,) and (,) are the principal minors of the Hessian. The first two conditions listed above on the signs of these minors are the conditions for the positive or negative definiteness of the Hessian.

  5. Hessian matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_matrix

    In one variable, the Hessian contains exactly one second derivative; if it is positive, then is a local minimum, and if it is negative, then is a local maximum; if it is zero, then the test is inconclusive. In two variables, the determinant can be used, because the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. If it is positive, then the ...

  6. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    A chart showing a uniform distribution. In probability theory and statistics, a collection of random variables is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d., iid, or IID) if each random variable has the same probability distribution as the others and all are mutually independent. [1]

  7. Multivariate interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_interpolation

    ) and the interpolation problem consists of yielding values at arbitrary points (,,, … ) {\displaystyle (x,y,z,\dots )} . Multivariate interpolation is particularly important in geostatistics , where it is used to create a digital elevation model from a set of points on the Earth's surface (for example, spot heights in a topographic survey or ...

  8. Function of several real variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_of_several_real...

    The image of a function f(x 1, x 2, …, x n) is the set of all values of f when the n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n) runs in the whole domain of f.For a continuous (see below for a definition) real-valued function which has a connected domain, the image is either an interval or a single value.

  9. Boolean satisfiability problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

    Values of other variables can be found subsequently in the same way. In total, n+1 runs of the algorithm are required, where n is the number of distinct variables in Φ. This property is used in several theorems in complexity theory: NP ⊆ P/poly ⇒ PH = Σ 2 (Karp–Lipton theorem) NP ⊆ BPP ⇒ NP = RP P = NP ⇒ FP = FNP
