probabilistic average
1Probabilistic analysis of algorithms — In analysis of algorithms, probabilistic analysis of algorithms is an approach to estimate the computational complexity of an algorithm or a computational problem. It starts from an assumption about a probabilistic distribution of the set of all… …
2Average-case complexity — For deterministic algorithms, the average case complexity (expected time complexity), associates a given input distribution with the expected time of an algorithm.Leonid Levin presented the motivation for studying average case complexity as… …
3Moving average — For other uses, see Moving average (disambiguation). In statistics, a moving average, also called rolling average, rolling mean or running average, is a type of finite impulse response filter used to analyze a set of data points by creating a… …
4Best, worst and average case — In computer science, best, worst and average cases of a given algorithm express what the resource usage is at least , at most and on average , respectively. Usually the resource being considered is running time, but it could also be memory or… …
5Drought in Canada — Average precipitation departures from normal over Canada from autumn 2000 through summer 2002. Precipitation departures are relative to the 1961 90 reference period …
6Information retrieval — This article is about information retrieval in general. For the fictional government department, see Brazil (film). Information retrieval (IR) is the area of study concerned with searching for documents, for information within documents, and for… …
7Entropy (information theory) — In information theory, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. The term by itself in this context usually refers to the Shannon entropy, which quantifies, in the sense of an expected value, the information… …
8Monte Carlo method — Not to be confused with Monte Carlo algorithm. Computational physics …
9Method of conditional probabilities — In mathematics and computer science, the probabilistic method is used to prove the existence of mathematical objects with desired combinatorial properties. The proofs are probabilistic they work by showing that a random object, chosen from some… …
10Combinatorial design — theory is the part of combinatorial mathematics that deals with the existence and construction of systems of finite sets whose intersections have specified numerical properties. For instance, a balanced incomplete block design (usually called for …
