Given T an unbiased estimator of theta so that <T>=theta. Then var(T)>=1/(Nint_(-infty)^infty[(partial(lnf))/(partialtheta)]^2fdx), where var is the variance.

Let r be the correlation coefficient. Then defining z^'=tanh^(-1)r (1) zeta=tanh^(-1)rho, (2) gives sigma_(z^') = (N-3)^(-1/2) (3) var(z^') = 1/n+(4-rho^2)/(2n^2)+... (4) ...

The fitting subgroup is the subgroup generated by all normal nilpotent subgroups of a group H, denoted F(H). In the case of a finite group, the subgroup generated will itself ...

The system of partial differential equations u_t = u_(xx)+u(u-a)(1-u)+w (1) w_t = epsilonu. (2)

A collection of faces of an n-dimensional polytope or simplicial complex, one of each dimension 0, 1, ..., n-1, which all have a common nonempty intersection. In normal three ...

A set in R^d formed by translating an affine subspace or by the intersection of a set of hyperplanes.

The flat norm on a current is defined by F(S)=int{Area T+Vol(R):S-T=partialR}, where partialR is the boundary of R.

In elliptic n-space, the pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located at an arc length of pi/2 radians away from each point of the (n-1)-flat.

If it is possible to transform a coordinate system to a form where the metric elements g_(munu) are constants independent of x^mu, then the space is flat.

The flattening of a spheroid (also called oblateness) is denoted epsilon or f (Snyder 1987, p. 13). It is defined as epsilon={(a-c)/a=1-c/a oblate; (c-a)/a=c/a-1 prolate, (1) ...
