  2. Homogeneity and heterogeneity (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and...

    Homogeneity can be studied to several degrees of complexity. For example, considerations of homoscedasticity examine how much the variability of data-values changes throughout a dataset. However, questions of homogeneity apply to all aspects of the statistical distributions, including the location parameter

  3. Homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoscedasticity_and...

    A classic example of heteroscedasticity is that of income versus expenditure on meals. A wealthy person may eat inexpensive food sometimes and expensive food at other times. A poor person will almost always eat inexpensive food. Therefore, people with higher incomes exhibit greater variability in expenditures on food.

  4. Homogeneity and heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity

    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  5. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

    The 5th roots of unity in the complex plane under multiplication form a group of order 5. Each non-identity element by itself is a generator for the whole group. In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts.

  6. Study heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_heterogeneity

    Statistical testing for a non-zero heterogeneity variance is often done based on Cochran's Q [13] or related test procedures. This common procedure however is questionable for several reasons, namely, the low power of such tests [14] especially in the very common case of only few estimates being combined in the analysis, [15] [7] as well as the specification of homogeneity as the null ...

  7. Heterogeneity in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneity_in_economics

    For example, individual demand can be aggregated to market demand if and only if individual preferences are of the Gorman polar form (or equivalently satisfy linear and parallel Engel curves). Under this condition, even heterogeneous preferences can be represented by a single aggregate agent simply by summing over individual demand to market ...

  8. Hilbert's fifth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fifth_problem

    The first major result was that of John von Neumann in 1933, [4] giving an affirmative answer for compact groups. The locally compact abelian group case was solved in 1934 by Lev Pontryagin . The final resolution, at least in the interpretation of what Hilbert meant given above, came with the work of Andrew Gleason , Deane Montgomery and Leo ...

  9. Symmetric group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_group

    The symmetric group is important to diverse areas of mathematics such as Galois theory, invariant theory, the representation theory of Lie groups, and combinatorics. Cayley's theorem states that every group G {\displaystyle G} is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group on (the underlying set of) G {\displaystyle G} .
