  2. Symmetric derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_derivative

    The symmetric derivative at a given point equals the arithmetic mean of the left and right derivatives at that point, if the latter two both exist. [1] [2]: 6 Neither Rolle's theorem nor the mean-value theorem hold for the symmetric derivative; some similar but weaker statements have been proved.

  3. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    Sigmoid curves are also common in statistics as cumulative distribution functions (which go from 0 to 1), such as the integrals of the logistic density, the normal density, and Student's t probability density functions. The logistic sigmoid function is invertible, and its inverse is the logit function.

  4. Symmetric logarithmic derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_Logarithmic...

    The symmetric logarithmic derivative is an important quantity in quantum metrology, and is related to the quantum Fisher information. ... Statistics; Cookie statement;

  5. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    The standard logistic function is the logistic function with parameters =, =, =, which yields = + = + = / / + /.In practice, due to the nature of the exponential function, it is often sufficient to compute the standard logistic function for over a small range of real numbers, such as a range contained in [−6, +6], as it quickly converges very close to its saturation values of 0 and 1.

  6. Bell-shaped function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell-shaped_function

    The Gaussian function is the archetypal example of a bell shaped function. A bell-shaped function or simply 'bell curve' is a mathematical function having a characteristic "bell"-shaped curve.

  7. Symmetric probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_probability...

    The distribution can be discrete or continuous, and the existence of a density is not required, but the inertia must be finite and non null. In the univariate case, this index was proposed as a non parametric test of symmetry. [2] For continuous symmetric spherical, Mir M. Ali gave the following definition.

  8. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Mathematically, the derivatives of the Gaussian function can be represented using Hermite functions. For unit variance, the n-th derivative of the Gaussian is the Gaussian function itself multiplied by the n-th Hermite polynomial, up to scale. Consequently, Gaussian functions are also associated with the vacuum state in quantum field theory.

  9. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The formula in the definition of characteristic function allows us to compute φ when we know the distribution function F (or density f). If, on the other hand, we know the characteristic function φ and want to find the corresponding distribution function, then one of the following inversion theorems can be used. Theorem.
