  2. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

    A key example of an optimal stopping problem is the secretary problem. Optimal stopping problems can often be written in the form of a Bellman equation , and are therefore often solved using dynamic programming .

  3. Skill testing question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skill_testing_question

    A court decision ruled that a mathematical STQ must contain at least three operations to actually be a test of skill. [4] For example, a sample question is "(16 × 5) - (12 ÷ 4)" (Answer: 77). The winner should not receive any assistance (e.g. using a calculator, asking another individual to calculate the answer for the winner) in answering ...

  4. Law of total expectation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_total_expectation

    The proposition in probability theory known as the law of total expectation, [1] the law of iterated expectations [2] (LIE), Adam's law, [3] the tower rule, [4] and the smoothing theorem, [5] among other names, states that if is a random variable whose expected value ⁡ is defined, and is any random variable on the same probability space, then

  5. Stopping time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_time

    Example of a stopping time: a hitting time of Brownian motion.The process starts at 0 and is stopped as soon as it hits 1. In probability theory, in particular in the study of stochastic processes, a stopping time (also Markov time, Markov moment, optional stopping time or optional time [1]) is a specific type of “random time”: a random variable whose value is interpreted as the time at ...

  6. Tower rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_rule

    The tower rule may refer to one of two rules in mathematics: Law of total expectation, in probability and stochastic theory; a rule governing the degree of a field extension of a field extension in field theory

  7. Littlewood's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood's_rule

    The demand has a probability distribution whose cumulative distribution function is denoted . The demand for class 2 comes before demand for class 1. The question now is how much demand for class 2 should be accepted so that the optimal mix of passengers is achieved and the highest revenue is obtained.

  9. Interchange of limiting operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_of_limiting...

    Examples abound, one of the simplest being that for a double sequence a m,n: it is not necessarily the case that the operations of taking the limits as m → ∞ and as n → ∞ can be freely interchanged. [4] For example take a m,n = 2 m − n. in which taking the limit first with respect to n gives 0, and with respect to m gives ∞.
