Given n mutually exclusive events A_1, ..., A_n whose probabilities sum to unity, then P(B)=P(B|A_1)P(A_1)+...+P(B|A_n)P(A_n), where B is an arbitrary event, and P(B|A_i) is ...

In statistics, a trial is a single performance of well-defined experiment (Papoulis 1984, p. 25), such as the flipping of a coin, the generation of a random number, the ...

A sequence of numbers alpha_n is said to be uncorrelated if it satisfies lim_(n->infty)1/(2n)sum_(m=-n)^nalpha_m^2=1 lim_(n->infty)1/(2n)sum_(m=-n)^nalpha_malpha_(k+m)=0 for ...

Jacobi theta functions can be used to uniformize all elliptic curves. Jacobi elliptic functions may also be used to uniformize some hyperelliptic curves, although only two ...

A normed vector space X=(X,||·||_X) is said to be uniformly convex if for sequences {x_n}={x_n}_(n=1)^infty, {y_n}={y_n}_(n=1)^infty, the assumptions ||x_n||_X<=1, ...

The integral transform obtained by defining omega=-tan(1/2delta), (1) and writing H(omega)=R(omega)+iX(omega), (2) where R(omega) and X(omega) are a Hilbert transform pair as ...

A nonparametric alternative to the two-sample t-test.

Coding theory, sometimes called algebraic coding theory, deals with the design of error-correcting codes for the reliable transmission of information across noisy channels. ...

A fast boat is overtaking a slower one when fog suddenly sets in. At this point, the boat being pursued changes course, but not speed, and proceeds straight in a new ...

A 30-60-90 triangle is a right triangle having angles of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. For a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse of length a, the legs have lengths b ...
