  2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Parameters (negative in the case of exponential decay): The growth constant k is the frequency (number of times per unit time) of growing by a factor e ; in finance it is also called the logarithmic return, continuously compounded return , or force of interest .

    The Dirichlet negative multinomial distribution, a generalization of the beta negative binomial distribution. The generalized multivariate log-gamma distribution; The Marshall–Olkin exponential distribution; The continuous-categorical distribution, an exponential family supported on the simplex that generalizes the continuous Bernoulli ...

  4. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  5. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    The exponential time-constant for the process is =, so the half-life is ⁡ (). The same equations can be applied to the dual of current in an inductor. Furthermore, the particular case of a capacitor or inductor changing through several parallel resistors makes an interesting example of multiple decay processes, with each resistor representing ...

  6. Biological exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_exponential_growth

    A graph of this equation creates an S-shaped curve, which demonstrates how initial population growth is exponential due to the abundance of resources and lack of competition. When factors that limit an organisms growth are not available in constant supply to meet the growing demand, such as RNA and protein amounts in bacteria, the growth of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    The distributions of a wide variety of physical, biological, and human-made phenomena approximately follow a power law over a wide range of magnitudes: these include the sizes of craters on the moon and of solar flares, [2] cloud sizes, [3] the foraging pattern of various species, [4] the sizes of activity patterns of neuronal populations, [5] the frequencies of words in most languages ...

  9. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab
