  2. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    The formula is valid for all index values, and for any n (when n = 0 or n = 1, this is the empty product). However, computing the formula above naively has a time complexity of O( n 2 ) , whereas the sign can be computed from the parity of the permutation from its disjoint cycles in only O( n log( n )) cost.

    The standard definition of ordinal exponentiation with base α is: =, =, when has an immediate predecessor . = {< <}, whenever is a limit ordinal. From this definition, it follows that for any fixed ordinal α > 1, the mapping is a normal function, so it has arbitrarily large fixed points by the fixed-point lemma for normal functions.

    Random variables are usually written in upper case Roman letters, such as or and so on. Random variables, in this context, usually refer to something in words, such as "the height of a subject" for a continuous variable, or "the number of cars in the school car park" for a discrete variable, or "the colour of the next bicycle" for a categorical variable.

  6. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  7. Delta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_method

    When g is applied to a random variable such as the mean, the delta method would tend to work better as the sample size increases, since it would help reduce the variance, and thus the taylor approximation would be applied to a smaller range of the function g at the point of interest.

  8. Epsilon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon

    Epsilon (US: / ˈ ɛ p s ɪ l ɒ n /, [1] UK: / ɛ p ˈ s aɪ l ə n /; [2] uppercase Ε, lowercase ε or ϵ; Greek: έψιλον) is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding phonetically to a mid front unrounded vowel IPA: or IPA:.

  9. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    The sample mean could serve as a good estimator of the population mean. Then we have: The difference between the height of each man in the sample and the unobservable population mean is a statistical error, whereas; The difference between the height of each man in the sample and the observable sample mean is a residual.
