Let M be a bounded set in the plane, i.e., M is contained entirely within a rectangle. The outer Jordan measure of M is the greatest lower bound of the areas of the coverings ...

The Mills ratio is defined as m(x) = 1/(h(x)) (1) = (S(x))/(P(x)) (2) = (1-D(x))/(P(x)), (3) where h(x) is the hazard function, S(x) is the survival function, P(x) is the ...

The antilaplacian of u with respect to x is a function whose Laplacian with respect to x equals u. The antilaplacian is never unique.

The process of taking the complement of a set or truth function. In the latter case, complementation is equivalent to the NOT operation.

The function f(beta,z)|->z^((1+cosbeta+isinbeta)/2), illustrated above for beta=0.4.

Any bivariate distribution function with marginal distribution functions F and G satisfies max{F(x)+G(y)-1,0}<=H(x,y)<=min{F(x),G(y)}.

An operator definition of a function. A Rodrigues formula may be converted into a Schläfli integral.

The word saltus has two different meanings: either a jump or an oscillation of a function.

The measurable space (S^',S^') into which a random variable from a probability space is a measurable function.
