  2. Hyperbolic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_growth

    Another example of hyperbolic growth can be found in queueing theory: the average waiting time of randomly arriving customers grows hyperbolically as a function of the average load ratio of the server. The singularity in this case occurs when the average amount of work arriving to the server equals the server's processing capacity.

  3. Hyperbolastic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolastic_functions

    This model allows for much more variation and has been proven to better predict growth." [12] The hyperbolastic growth models H1, H2, and H3 have been applied to analyze the growth of solid Ehrlich carcinoma using a variety of treatments. [13] In animal science, [14] the hyperbolastic functions have been used for modeling broiler chicken growth.

  4. Present bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_bias

    Present bias is the tendency to settle for a smaller present reward rather than wait for a larger future reward, in a trade-off situation. [1] [2] It describes the trend of overvaluing immediate rewards, while putting less worth in long-term consequences. [3]

  5. Time preference - Wikipedia

    For example, say you were offered $50, but if you forego it, your friend gets $60. What about your friend being offered $100. The point at which you forego the money is the social discount rate. Generally, this type of discounting resembles a hyperbolic curve as well. Probability discounting takes the same form, but with risk.

    However students who receive praise valuing hard work as a measure of success, such as "You must have worked hard at these problems," more often pursue mastery goals that underlie an incremental mindset. [12] Subtle differences in speech to children that promote non-generic praise (i.e. "You did a good job drawing") versus generic praise (i.e.

  8. Hyperbolic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_group

    An interesting example is the modular group = (): it acts on the tree given by the 1-skeleton of the associated tessellation of the hyperbolic plane and it has a finite index free subgroup (on two generators) of index 6 (for example the set of matrices in which reduce to the identity modulo 2 is such a group).

  9. Maslow's hierarchy of needs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

    The hierarchy is split between deficiency needs and growth needs, with two key themes involved within the theory being individualism and the prioritization of needs. According to Maslow’s original formulation, there are five sets of basic needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualization.
