  2. Gauss–Legendre algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_algorithm

    It repeatedly replaces two numbers by their arithmetic and geometric mean, in order to approximate their arithmetic-geometric mean. The version presented below is also known as the Gauss–Euler, Brent–Salamin (or Salamin–Brent) algorithm; [1] it was independently discovered in 1975 by Richard Brent and Eugene Salamin.

  3. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The equally distributed welfare equivalent income associated with an Atkinson Index with an inequality aversion parameter of 1.0 is simply the geometric mean of incomes. For values other than one, the equivalent value is an Lp norm divided by the number of elements, with p equal to one minus the inequality aversion parameter.

  4. Maximum spacing estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_spacing_estimation

    Then the maximum spacing estimator of θ 0 is defined as a value that maximizes the logarithm of the geometric mean of sample spacings: ^ = (), = + + = + = + ⁡ (). By the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means , function S n ( θ ) is bounded from above by −ln( n +1), and thus the maximum has to exist at least in the supremum sense.

  5. Arithmetic–geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic–geometric_mean

    In mathematics, the arithmetic–geometric mean (AGM or agM [1]) of two positive real numbers x and y is the mutual limit of a sequence of arithmetic means and a sequence of geometric means. The arithmetic–geometric mean is used in fast algorithms for exponential , trigonometric functions , and other special functions , as well as some ...

  6. Pythagorean means - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_means

    Nomograms to graphically calculate arithmetic (1), geometric (2) and harmonic (3) means, z of x=40 and y=10 (red), and x=45 and y=5 (blue) Of all pairs of different natural numbers of the form ( a , b ) such that a < b , the smallest (as defined by least value of a + b ) for which the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means are all also ...

  7. Generalized mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_mean

    A power mean serves a non-linear moving average which is shifted towards small signal values for small p and emphasizes big signal values for big p. Given an efficient implementation of a moving arithmetic mean called smooth one can implement a moving power mean according to the following Haskell code.

  8. Weighted geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_geometric_mean

    The second form above illustrates that the logarithm of the geometric mean is the weighted arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. If all the weights are equal, the weighted geometric mean simplifies to the ordinary unweighted geometric mean. [1]

  9. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    This estimate is sometimes referred to as the "geometric CV" (GCV), [19] [20] due to its use of the geometric variance. Contrary to the arithmetic standard deviation, the arithmetic coefficient of variation is independent of the arithmetic mean. The parameters μ and σ can be obtained, if the arithmetic mean and the arithmetic variance are known:
