  2. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    In the older notion of nonparametric skew, defined as () /, where is the mean, is the median, and is the standard deviation, the skewness is defined in terms of this relationship: positive/right nonparametric skew means the mean is greater than (to the right of) the median, while negative/left nonparametric skew means the mean is less than (to ...

  3. Wave nonlinearity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_nonlinearity

    is the zero-mean wave surface elevation; is the Hilbert transform the angle brackets indicate averaging over many waves; Values for the skewness are positive with typical values between 0 and 1, where values of 1 indicate high skewness.

  4. Skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew

    Skew lines, neither parallel nor intersecting. Skew normal distribution, a probability distribution; Skew field or division ring; Skew-Hermitian matrix; Skew lattice; Skew polygon, whose vertices do not lie on a plane; Infinite skew polyhedron; Skew-symmetric graph; Skew-symmetric matrix; Skew tableau, a generalization of Young tableaux

  5. Developable surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developable_surface

    The cylinder is an example of a developable surface. In mathematics, a developable surface (or torse: archaic) is a smooth surface with zero Gaussian curvature. That is, it is a surface that can be flattened onto a plane without distortion (i.e. it can be bent without stretching or compression).

  6. Nonparametric skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonparametric_skew

    The nonparametric skew is one third of the Pearson 2 skewness coefficient and lies between −1 and +1 for any distribution. [5] [6] This range is implied by the fact that the mean lies within one standard deviation of any median. [7] Under an affine transformation of the variable (X), the value of S does not change except for a possible change ...

  7. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    This plane is not a tangential plane so is a skew plane, in other words not a meridional plane. Rays propagating in this plane are called sagittal rays . In third-order astigmatism, the tangential rays (in the tangential plane) and sagittal rays (in the sagittal plane) form foci at different distances along the optic axis.

  8. Skewed generalized t distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewed_generalized_t...

    where is the beta function, is the location parameter, > is the scale parameter, < < is the skewness parameter, and > and > are the parameters that control the kurtosis. and are not parameters, but functions of the other parameters that are used here to scale or shift the distribution appropriately to match the various parameterizations of this distribution.

  9. Parabolic cylinder function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_cylinder_function

    Parabolic cylinder () function appears naturally in the Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator (a quantum particle in the oscillator potential), [+] = (), where is the reduced Planck constant, is the mass of the particle, is the coordinate of the particle, is the frequency of the oscillator, is the energy, and () is the particle's wave-function.
