Maximum likelihood, also called the maximum likelihood method, is the procedure of finding the value of one or more parameters for a given statistic which makes the known ...

The Maxwell (or Maxwell-Boltzmann) distribution gives the distribution of speeds of molecules in thermal equilibrium as given by statistical mechanics. Defining a=sqrt(kT/m), ...

The McLaughlin group is the sporadic group McL of order |McL| = 898128000 (1) = 2^7·3^6·5^3·7·11. (2) It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as McLaughlinGroupMcL[].

A subset E of a topological space S is said to be meager if E is of first category in S, i.e., if E can be written as the countable union of subsets which are nowhere dense ...

Call a graph vertex m(a,b,c) a median of a graph G if it lies on all shortest paths between each pair of vertices (a,b), (b,a), and (c,a) in G. A median graph is then defined ...

A modification of Legendre's formula for the prime counting function pi(x). It starts with |_x_| = (1) where |_x_| is the floor function, P_2(x,a) is the number of integers ...

Let G be a graph with A and B two disjoint n-tuples of graph vertices. Then either G contains n pairwise disjoint AB-paths, each connecting a point of A and a point of B, or ...

A metric space is a set S with a global distance function (the metric g) that, for every two points x,y in S, gives the distance between them as a nonnegative real number ...

The midcircle of two given circles is the circle which would invert the circles into each other. Dixon (1991) gives constructions for the midcircle for four of the five ...

The radius rho of the midsphere of a polyhedron, also called the interradius. Let P be a point on the original polyhedron and P^' the corresponding point P on the dual. Then ...
