Defined for samples x_i, i=1, ..., N by alpha_r=1/Nsum_(i=1)^Nz_i^r=(mu_r)/(sigma^r), (1) where z_i=(x_i-x^_)/(s_x). (2) The first few are alpha_1 = 0 (3) alpha_2 = 1 (4) ...

Let A and B be two *-algebras. An algebraic homomorphism phi:A->B is called *-homomorphism if it satisfies phi(a^*)=phi(a)^* for each a in A.

A subset X of R^n is star convex if there exists an x_0 in X such that the line segment from x_0 to any point in X is contained in X. A star-shaped figure is star convex but ...

Given a point set P={x_n}_(n=0)^(N-1) in the s-dimensional unit cube I=[0,1)^s, the star discrepancy is defined as D_N^*(P)=sup_(J in Upsilon^*)D(J,P), (1) where the local ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra, then a state is a positive linear functional on A of norm 1.

A point x_0 at which the derivative of a function f(x) vanishes, f^'(x_0)=0. A stationary point may be a minimum, maximum, or inflection point.

A quantity (such as a statistical median, quartile deviation, etc.), which is calculated from observed data.

The smallest statistical rank (either up or down) of a set of data.

The ordinal number of a value in a list arranged in a specified order (usually decreasing).

When can homology classes be realized as the image of fundamental classes of manifolds? The answer is known, and singular bordism groups provide insight into this problem.
