  2. Uncertainty quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_quantification

    Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is the science of quantitative characterization and estimation of uncertainties in both computational and real world applications. It tries to determine how likely certain outcomes are if some aspects of the system are not exactly known.

  3. Prospect theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_theory

    The function is a probability weighting function and captures the idea that people tend to overreact to small probability events, but underreact to large probabilities. Let ( x , p ; y , q ) {\displaystyle (x,p;y,q)} denote a prospect with outcome x {\displaystyle x} with probability p {\displaystyle p} and outcome y {\displaystyle y} with ...

  4. MacCormack method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCormack_method

    The above equation is obtained by replacing the spatial and temporal derivatives in the previous first order hyperbolic equation using forward differences. Corrector step: In the corrector step, the predicted value u i p {\displaystyle u_{i}^{p}} is corrected according to the equation

  5. Attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor

    Visual representation of a strange attractor. [1] Another visualization of the same 3D attractor is this video.Code capable of rendering this is available.. In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, an attractor is a set of states toward which a system tends to evolve, [2] for a wide variety of starting conditions of the system.

  6. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    From a physical point of view, continuous dynamical systems is a generalization of classical mechanics, a generalization where the equations of motion are postulated directly and are not constrained to be Euler–Lagrange equations of a least action principle. When difference equations are employed, the theory is called discrete dynamical systems.

  7. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The main application of statistical power is "power analysis", a calculation of power usually done before an experiment is conducted using data from pilot studies or a literature review. Power analyses can be used to calculate the minimum sample size required so that one can be reasonably likely to detect an effect of a given size (in other ...

  9. Kolmogorov equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_equations

    William Feller, in 1949, used the names "forward equation" and "backward equation" for his more general version of the Kolmogorov's pair, in both jump and diffusion processes. [1] Much later, in 1956, he referred to the equations for the jump process as "Kolmogorov forward equations" and "Kolmogorov backward equations". [3]
