  2. Tower rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_rule

    The tower rule may refer to one of two rules in mathematics: Law of total expectation , in probability and stochastic theory a rule governing the degree of a field extension of a field extension in field theory

  3. Minimax estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax_estimator

    Example 3: Bounded normal mean: When estimating the mean of a normal vector (,), where it is known that ‖ ‖. The Bayes estimator with respect to a prior which is uniformly distributed on the edge of the bounding sphere is known to be minimax whenever M ≤ n {\displaystyle M\leq n\,\!} .

  4. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

    In mathematics, the theory of optimal stopping [1] [2] or early stopping [3] is concerned with the problem of choosing a time to take a particular action, in order to maximise an expected reward or minimise an expected cost.

  5. Law of total expectation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_total_expectation

    The proposition in probability theory known as the law of total expectation, [1] the law of iterated expectations [2] (LIE), Adam's law, [3] the tower rule, [4] and the smoothing theorem, [5] among other names, states that if is a random variable whose expected value ⁡ is defined, and is any random variable on the same probability space, then

  6. Stopping time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_time

    Example of a stopping time: a hitting time of Brownian motion.The process starts at 0 and is stopped as soon as it hits 1. In probability theory, in particular in the study of stochastic processes, a stopping time (also Markov time, Markov moment, optional stopping time or optional time [1]) is a specific type of “random time”: a random variable whose value is interpreted as the time at ...

  7. Little's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law

    In mathematical queueing theory, Little's law (also result, theorem, lemma, or formula [1] [2]) is a theorem by John Little which states that the long-term average number L of customers in a stationary system is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate λ multiplied by the average time W that a customer spends in the system.

  8. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    In discrete-time networks where there is a constraint on which service nodes can be active at any time, the max-weight scheduling algorithm chooses a service policy to give optimal throughput in the case that each job visits only a single-person service node. [21]

  9. Scientific calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_calculator

    TI's long-running TI-30 series being one of the most widely used scientific calculators in classrooms. Casio, Canon, and Sharp, produced their graphing calculators, with Casio's FX series (beginning with the Casio FX-1 in 1972 [9]). Casio was the first company to produce a Graphing calculator (Casio fx-7000G).
