  2. Zero-order process (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-order_process...

    In probability theory and statistics, a zero-order process is a stochastic process in which each observation is independent of all previous observations. For example, a zero-order process in marketing would be one in which the brands purchased next do not depend on the brands purchased before, implying a fixed probability of purchase since it is zero order in regards to probability.

  3. Vickrey auction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickrey_auction

    Thus it is a dominant strategy for a buyer to drop out of the bidding when the asking price reaches his or her valuation. Thus, just as in the Vickrey sealed second price auction, the price paid by the buyer with the highest valuation is equal to the second highest value. Consider then the expected payment in the sealed second-price auction.

  4. Revenue equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_equivalence

    A classic example is the pair of auction mechanisms: first price auction and second price auction. First-price auction has a variant which is Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible; second-price auction is dominant-strategy-incentive-compatible, which is even stronger than Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible. The two mechanisms fulfill the ...

  5. Order of approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_approximation

    First-order approximation is the term scientists use for a slightly better answer. [3] Some simplifying assumptions are made, and when a number is needed, an answer with only one significant figure is often given ("the town has 4 × 10 3, or four thousand, residents"). In the case of a first-order approximation, at least one number given is exact.

  6. First-price sealed-bid auction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-price_sealed-bid_auction

    A generalized first-price auction is a non-truthful auction mechanism for sponsored search (aka position auction). A generalization of both 1st-price and 2nd-price auctions is an auction in which the price is some convex combination of the 1st and 2nd price. [11]

  8. Time-weighted average price - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-weighted_average_price

    Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) balances execution with volume. Regularly, a VWAP trade will buy or sell 40% of a trade in the first half of the day and then the other 60% in the second half of the day. A TWAP trade would most likely execute an even 50/50 volume in the first and second half of the day. [3]

  9. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    Under zero-based numbering, the initial element is sometimes termed the zeroth element, [1] rather than the first element; zeroth is a coined ordinal number corresponding to the number zero. In some cases, an object or value that does not (originally) belong to a given sequence, but which could be naturally placed before its initial element ...
