  2. Symmetric derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_derivative

    The symmetric derivative at a given point equals the arithmetic mean of the left and right derivatives at that point, if the latter two both exist. [1] [2]: 6 Neither Rolle's theorem nor the mean-value theorem hold for the symmetric derivative; some similar but weaker statements have been proved.

  3. Symmetric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_function

    In statistics, an -sample statistic (a function in variables) that is obtained by bootstrapping symmetrization of a -sample statistic, yielding a symmetric function in variables, is called a U-statistic. Examples include the sample mean and sample variance.

  4. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    The standard logistic function is the logistic function with parameters =, =, =, which yields = + = + = / / + /.In practice, due to the nature of the exponential function, it is often sufficient to compute the standard logistic function for over a small range of real numbers, such as a range contained in [−6, +6], as it quickly converges very close to its saturation values of 0 and 1.

  5. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_second_derivatives

    The derivative of an integrable function can always be defined as a distribution, and symmetry of mixed partial derivatives always holds as an equality of distributions. The use of formal integration by parts to define differentiation of distributions puts the symmetry question back onto the test functions , which are smooth and certainly ...

  6. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    For example, some authors [6] define φ X (t) = E[e −2πitX], which is essentially a change of parameter. Other notation may be encountered in the literature: p ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {p}}} as the characteristic function for a probability measure p , or f ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {f}}} as the characteristic function ...

  7. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_analysis

    A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself and its derivatives of various orders. [21] [22] [23] Differential equations play a prominent role in engineering, physics, economics, biology, and other disciplines.

  8. Derivative investments: What they are and how they work - AOL

    The word derivative sounds fancy and perhaps a little intimidating. But the key thing to know about derivatives is that they are a financial contract whose value is derived from the value of ...

  9. Symmetric probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_probability...

    The distribution can be discrete or continuous, and the existence of a density is not required, but the inertia must be finite and non null. In the univariate case, this index was proposed as a non parametric test of symmetry. [2] For continuous symmetric spherical, Mir M. Ali gave the following definition.
