  2. Average true range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_true_range

    Apart from being a trend strength gauge, ATR serves as an element of position sizing in financial trading. Current ATR value (or a multiple of it) can be used as the size of the potential adverse movement (stop-loss distance) when calculating the trade volume based on trader's risk tolerance. In this case, ATR provides a self-adjusting risk ...

  3. Kelly criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

    Example of the optimal Kelly betting fraction, versus expected return of other fractional bets. In probability theory, the Kelly criterion (or Kelly strategy or Kelly bet) is a formula for sizing a sequence of bets by maximizing the long-term expected value of the logarithm of wealth, which is equivalent to maximizing the long-term expected geometric growth rate.

    The concept of CEP also plays a role when measuring the accuracy of a position obtained by a navigation system, ... is given by the following formula: (, ...

  5. Scherrer equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherrer_Equation

    The Scherrer equation, in X-ray diffraction and crystallography, is a formula that relates the size of sub-micrometre crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peak in a diffraction pattern. It is often referred to, incorrectly, as a formula for particle size measurement or analysis. It is named after Paul Scherrer.

  6. Mean squared displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_displacement

    Another method to describe the motion of a Brownian particle was described by Langevin, now known for its namesake as the Langevin equation.) (,) = (,), given the initial condition (, =) = (); where () is the position of the particle at some given time, is the tagged particle's initial position, and is the diffusion constant with the S.I. units ...

  7. Orbit equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_equation

    In astrodynamics, an orbit equation defines the path of orbiting body around central body relative to , without specifying position as a function of time.Under standard assumptions, a body moving under the influence of a force, directed to a central body, with a magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance (such as gravity), has an orbit that is a conic section (i.e. circular ...

  8. Error analysis for the Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the...

    The position calculated by a GPS receiver requires the current time, the position of the satellite and the measured delay of the received signal. The position accuracy is primarily dependent on the satellite position and signal delay.

  9. Position weight matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_weight_matrix

    A PWM has one row for each symbol of the alphabet (4 rows for nucleotides in DNA sequences or 20 rows for amino acids in protein sequences) and one column for each position in the pattern. In the first step in constructing a PWM, a basic position frequency matrix (PFM) is created by counting the occurrences of each nucleotide at each position.
