  2. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope. The envelope function may be a function of time, space, angle, or indeed of any variable. Envelope for a modulated sine wave.

  3. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    Since the integral of ρ t is constant while the width is becoming narrow at small times, this function approaches a delta function at t=0, = again only in the sense of distributions, so that () = for any test function f. The time-varying Gaussian is the propagation kernel for the diffusion equation and it obeys the convolution identity ...

  4. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Mathematically, the derivatives of the Gaussian function can be represented using Hermite functions. For unit variance, the n-th derivative of the Gaussian is the Gaussian function itself multiplied by the n-th Hermite polynomial, up to scale. Consequently, Gaussian functions are also associated with the vacuum state in quantum field theory.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate

    Cupcakes baked with baking soda as a raising agent. Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogencarbonate [9]), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO 3. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na +) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO 3 −).

    The moment generating function of a real random variable ⁠ ⁠ is the expected value of , as a function of the real parameter ⁠ ⁠. For a normal distribution with density ⁠ f {\displaystyle f} ⁠ , mean ⁠ μ {\displaystyle \mu } ⁠ and variance σ 2 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}} , the moment generating function exists and is equal to

  7. Exponentially modified Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentially_modified...

    In probability theory, an exponentially modified Gaussian distribution (EMG, also known as exGaussian distribution) describes the sum of independent normal and exponential random variables. An exGaussian random variable Z may be expressed as Z = X + Y , where X and Y are independent, X is Gaussian with mean μ and variance σ 2 , and Y is ...
