stochastic property
11probability theory — Math., Statistics. the theory of analyzing and making statements concerning the probability of the occurrence of uncertain events. Cf. probability (def. 4). [1830 40] * * * Branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of random events.… …
12Itō calculus — Itō calculus, named after Kiyoshi Itō, extends the methods of calculus to stochastic processes such as Brownian motion (Wiener process). It has important applications in mathematical finance and stochastic differential equations.The central… …
13Itō diffusion — In mathematics mdash; specifically, in stochastic analysis mdash; an Itō diffusion is a solution to a specific type of stochastic differential equation. Itō diffusions are named after the Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Itō.OverviewA (time… …
14Markov chain — A simple two state Markov chain. A Markov chain, named for Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another, between a finite or countable number of possible states. It is a random process characterized …
15Markov process — In probability theory and statistics, a Markov process, named after the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov, is a time varying random phenomenon for which a specific property (the Markov property) holds. In a common description, a stochastic… …
16Monotone likelihood ratio — A monotonic likelihood ratio in distributions f(x) and g(x) The ratio of the density functions above is increasing in the parameter x, so f(x)/g(x) satisfies the monotone likelihood ratio property. In statistics, the monoto …
17Income inequality metrics — The concept of inequality is distinct from that of poverty[1] and fairness. Income inequality metrics or income distribution metrics are used by social scientists to measure the distribution of income, and economic inequality among the… …
18Alexandra Bellow — (1935 ndash;) is a mathematician who has made substantial contributions to the fields of ergodic theory, probability and analysis. BiographyShe was born in Bucharest, Romania, as Alexandra Bagdasar. Her parents were both physicians. Her mother,… …
19Martingale (probability theory) — For the martingale betting strategy , see martingale (betting system). Stopped Brownian motion is an example of a martingale. It can be used to model an even coin toss betting game with the possibility of bankruptcy. In probability theory, a… …
20Decision field theory — (DFT), is a dynamic cognitive approach to human decision making. It is a cognitive model that describes how people make decisions rather than a rational model that prescribes what people should do. It is also a dynamic model of decision making… …
