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), ...

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 ...

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. If h is one-to-one and onto, then it is a meet-isomorphism provided that it preserves meets.

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 ...

A Banach space X is called minimal if every infinite-dimensional subspace Y of X contains a subspace Z isomorphic to X. An example of a minimal Banach space is the Banach ...

The Minkowski metric, also called the Minkowski tensor or pseudo-Riemannian metric, is a tensor eta_(alphabeta) whose elements are defined by the matrix (eta)_(alphabeta)=[-1 ...

Polynomials M_k(x) which form the associated Sheffer sequence for f(t)=(e^t-1)/(e^t+1) (1) and have the generating function sum_(k=0)^infty(M_k(x))/(k!)t^k=((1+t)/(1-t))^x. ...

The mittenpunkt (also called the middlespoint) of a triangle DeltaABC is the symmedian point of the excentral triangle, i.e., the point of concurrence M of the lines from the ...

Möbius tetrahedra, also called Möbius tetrads (Baker 1922, pp. 61-62) are a pair of tetrahedra, each of which has all the vertices lying on the faces of the other: in other ...
