  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This definition allows us to state Bézout's theorem and its generalizations precisely. This definition generalizes the multiplicity of a root of a polynomial in the following way. The roots of a polynomial f are points on the affine line, which are the components of the algebraic set defined by the polynomial.

    Also confidence coefficient. A number indicating the probability that the confidence interval (range) captures the true population mean. For example, a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level has a 95% chance of capturing the population mean. Technically, this means that, if the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the CIs computed at this level would contain the true population ...

  4. Multiplicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity

    Multiplicity (statistical mechanics), the number of microstates corresponding to a particular macrostate in a thermodynamic system, symbolized by the Greek letter Ω; Dissociative identity disorder, psychological condition formerly called "multiple personality disorder" where a person exhibits multiple, distinct overlapping identities

  5. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    The cardinality or "size" of a multiset is the sum of the multiplicities of all its elements. For example, in the multiset {a, a, b, b, b, c} the multiplicities of the members a, b, and c are respectively 2, 3, and 1, and therefore the cardinality of this multiset is 6.

  6. Mathematical statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_statistics

    Mathematical statistics is the application of probability theory and other mathematical concepts to statistics, as opposed to techniques for collecting statistical data. [1] Specific mathematical techniques that are commonly used in statistics include mathematical analysis , linear algebra , stochastic analysis , differential equations , and ...

  7. Scheme (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, specifically algebraic geometry, a scheme is a structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety in several ways, such as taking account of multiplicities (the equations x = 0 and x 2 = 0 define the same algebraic variety but different schemes) and allowing "varieties" defined over any commutative ring (for example, Fermat curves are defined over the integers).

    Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued A "multivalued function” from a set A to a set B is a function from A to the subsets of B.

  9. Multiplicity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_theory

    In abstract algebra, multiplicity theory concerns the multiplicity of a module M at an ideal I (often a maximal ideal) ().The notion of the multiplicity of a module is a generalization of the degree of a projective variety.
