61Uniform distribution (continuous) — Uniform Probability density function Using maximum convention Cumulative distribution function …
62Natural exponential family — In probability and statistics, the natural exponential family (NEF) is a class of probability distributions that is a special case of an exponential family (EF). Many common distributions are members of a natural exponential family, and the use… …
63Dirac delta function — Schematic representation of the Dirac delta function by a line surmounted by an arrow. The height of the arrow is usually used to specify the value of any multiplicative constant, which will give the area under the function. The other convention… …
64Method of moments (statistics) — See method of moments (probability theory) for an account of a technique for proving convergence in distribution. In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters such as mean, variance, median, etc. (which… …
65Spin (physics) — This article is about spin in quantum mechanics. For rotation in classical mechanics, see angular momentum. In quantum mechanics and particle physics, spin is a fundamental characteristic property of elementary particles, composite particles… …
66Mathematics and Physical Sciences — ▪ 2003 Introduction Mathematics Mathematics in 2002 was marked by two discoveries in number theory. The first may have practical implications; the second satisfied a 150 year old curiosity. Computer scientist Manindra Agrawal of the… …
67Outline of statistics — The following outline is provided as an overview and guide to the variety of topics included within the subject of statistics: Statistics pertains to the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. It is applicable to a wide… …
68Optimal design — This article is about the topic in the design of experiments. For the topic in optimal control theory, see shape optimization. Gustav Elfving developed the optimal design of experiments, and so minimized surveyors need for theodolite measurements …
69Introduction to quantum mechanics — This article is an accessible, non technical introduction to the subject. For the main encyclopedia article, see Quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics …
70Noncentral hypergeometric distributions — In statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is the discrete probability distribution generated by picking colored balls at random from an urn without replacement. Various generalizations to this distribution exist for cases where the picking… …
