  2. Quantum indeterminacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_indeterminacy

    Indeterminacy in measurement was not an innovation of quantum mechanics, since it had been established early on by experimentalists that errors in measurement may lead to indeterminate outcomes. By the later half of the 18th century, measurement errors were well understood, and it was known that they could either be reduced by better equipment ...

  3. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    Random errors are errors in measurement that lead to measurable values being inconsistent when repeated measurements of a constant attribute or quantity are taken. Random errors create measurement uncertainty. Systematic errors are errors that are not determined by chance but are introduced by repeatable processes inherent to the system. [3]

  4. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

  5. Hausdorff moment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausdorff_moment_problem

    In the indeterminate moment problem case, there are infinite measures corresponding to the same prescribed moments and they consist of a convex set. The set of polynomials may or may not be dense in the associated Hilbert spaces if the moment problem is indeterminate, and it depends on whether measure is extremal or not.

  6. Statically indeterminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statically_indeterminate

    If the support at B is removed, the reaction V B cannot occur, and the system becomes statically determinate (or isostatic). [3] Note that the system is completely constrained here. The system becomes an exact constraint kinematic coupling. The solution to the problem is: [2]

  7. Imprecise Dirichlet process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprecise_Dirichlet_process

    IDP returns an indeterminate decision when the decision is prior dependent (that is when it would depend on the choice of ). By exploiting the relationship between the cumulative distribution function of the Beta distribution , and the cumulative distribution function of a random variable Z from a binomial distribution , where the "probability ...

  8. Indeterminate form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_form

    Indeterminate form is a mathematical expression that can obtain any value depending on circumstances. In calculus , it is usually possible to compute the limit of the sum, difference, product, quotient or power of two functions by taking the corresponding combination of the separate limits of each respective function.

  9. Error analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.
