    Greek letters (e.g. θ, β) are commonly used to denote unknown parameters (population parameters). [3]A tilde (~) denotes "has the probability distribution of". Placing a hat, or caret (also known as a circumflex), over a true parameter denotes an estimator of it, e.g., ^ is an estimator for .

    In particular, the proportion of heads after n flips will almost surely converge to 1 ⁄ 2 as n approaches infinity. Although the proportion of heads (and tails) approaches 1 ⁄ 2, almost surely the absolute difference in the number of heads and tails will become large as the number of flips becomes large. That is, the probability that the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_notation

    In statistics, a circumflex (ˆ), called a "hat", is used to denote an estimator or an estimated value. [1] For example, in the context of errors and residuals , the "hat" over the letter ε ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\varepsilon }}} indicates an observable estimate (the residuals) of an unobservable quantity called ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon ...
