71Characteristic function (probability theory) — The characteristic function of a uniform U(–1,1) random variable. This function is real valued because it corresponds to a random variable that is symmetric around the origin; however in general case characteristic functions may be complex valued …
72Covariance matrix — A bivariate Gaussian probability density function centered at (0,0), with covariance matrix [ 1.00, .50 ; .50, 1.00 ] …
73Polar decomposition — In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and functional analysis, the polar decomposition of a matrix or linear operator is a factorization analogous to the polar form of a nonzero complex number z where r is the absolute value of z (a… …
74Determinant — This article is about determinants in mathematics. For determinants in epidemiology, see Risk factor. In linear algebra, the determinant is a value associated with a square matrix. It can be computed from the entries of the matrix by a specific… …
75Inversive geometry — Not to be confused with Inversive ring geometry. In geometry, inversive geometry is the study of those properties of figures that are preserved by a generalization of a type of transformation of the Euclidean plane, called inversion. These… …
76Spinors in three dimensions — In mathematics, the spinor concept as specialised to three dimensions can be treated by means of the traditional notions of dot product and cross product. This is part of the detailed algebraic discussion of the rotation group… …
77Absolute value — For the philosophical term, see Value (ethics). For the Akrobatik album, see Absolute Value (album). In mathematics, the absolute value (or modulus) |a| of a real number a is the numerical value of a without regard to its sign. So, for example,… …
78Complexification — In mathematics, the complexification of a real vector space V is a vector space VC over the complex number field obtained by formally extending scalar multiplication to include multiplication by complex numbers. Any basis for V over the real… …
79Hermitian matrix — A Hermitian matrix (or self adjoint matrix) is a square matrix with complex entries which is equal to its own conjugate transpose mdash; that is, the element in the i th row and j th column is equal to the complex conjugate of the element in the… …
80Matched filter — In telecommunications, a matched filter (originally known as a North filter[1]) is obtained by correlating a known signal, or template, with an unknown signal to detect the presence of the template in the unknown signal. This is equivalent to… …
