  3. Cumulant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulant

    The first cumulant is the expected value; the second and third cumulants are respectively the second and third central moments (the second central moment is the variance); but the higher cumulants are neither moments nor central moments, but rather more complicated polynomial functions of the moments.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingman's_formula

    Kingman's approximation states: () (+)where () is the mean waiting time, τ is the mean service time (i.e. μ = 1/τ is the service rate), λ is the mean arrival rate, ρ = λ/μ is the utilization, c a is the coefficient of variation for arrivals (that is the standard deviation of arrival times divided by the mean arrival time) and c s is the coefficient of variation for service times.

  5. Acknowledgement (data networks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acknowledgement_(data...

    The acknowledgement function is used in the automatic repeat request (ARQ) function. Acknowledgement frames are numbered in coordination with the frames that have been received and then sent to the transmitter. This allows the transmitter to avoid overflow or underrun at the receiver, and to become aware of any missed frames.

  8. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph.If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.
