  2. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    The angles that Bragg's law predicts are still approximately right, but in general there is a lattice of spots which are close to projections of the reciprocal lattice that is at right angles to the direction of the electron beam. (In contrast, Bragg's law predicts that only one or perhaps two would be present, not simultaneously tens to hundreds.)

  3. Laue equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laue_equations

    This indicates the plane that is perpendicular to the straight line between the reciprocal lattice origin = and and located at the middle of the line. Such a plane is called Bragg plane. [ 3 ] This plane can be understood since G = k o u t − k i n {\displaystyle \mathbf {G} =\mathbf {k} _{\mathrm {out} }-\mathbf {k} _{\mathrm {in} }} for ...

  4. Empirical statistical laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_statistical_laws

    There are several such popular "laws of statistics". The Pareto principle is a popular example of such a "law". It states that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes, and is thus also known as the 80/20 rule. [2]

  5. Rule of 72 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

    The rule number (e.g., 72) is divided by the interest percentage per period (usually years) to obtain the approximate number of periods required for doubling. Although scientific calculators and spreadsheet programs have functions to find the accurate doubling time, the rules are useful for mental calculations and when only a basic calculator ...

  6. Statistical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_proof

    Bayesian statistics are based on a different philosophical approach for proof of inference.The mathematical formula for Bayes's theorem is: [|] = [|] [] []The formula is read as the probability of the parameter (or hypothesis =h, as used in the notation on axioms) “given” the data (or empirical observation), where the horizontal bar refers to "given".

  7. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    A two-column proof published in 1913. A particular way of organising a proof using two parallel columns is often used as a mathematical exercise in elementary geometry classes in the United States. [29] The proof is written as a series of lines in two columns.

  8. Efficiency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency_(statistics)

    The relative efficiency of two unbiased estimators is defined as [12] (,) = ⁡ [()] ⁡ [()] = ⁡ ⁡ ()Although is in general a function of , in many cases the dependence drops out; if this is so, being greater than one would indicate that is preferable, regardless of the true value of .

  9. Secretary problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem

    Graphs of probabilities of getting the best candidate (red circles) from n applications, and k/n (blue crosses) where k is the sample size. The secretary problem demonstrates a scenario involving optimal stopping theory [1] [2] that is studied extensively in the fields of applied probability, statistics, and decision theory.
