21Actuary — Damage from Hurricane Katrina. Actuaries need to estimate long term averages of such damage in order to accurately price property insurance and set appropriate reserves. Occupation Names Actuary …
22Stopping time — Example of a stopping time: a hitting time of Brownian motion In probability theory, in particular in the study of stochastic processes, a stopping time (also Markov time) is a specific type of “random time”. The theory of stopping rules and… …
23Kalman filter — Roles of the variables in the Kalman filter. (Larger image here) In statistics, the Kalman filter is a mathematical method named after Rudolf E. Kálmán. Its purpose is to use measurements observed over time, containing noise (random variations)… …
24Schramm–Loewner evolution — In probability theory, Schramm–Loewner evolution, also known as stochastic Loewner evolution or SLE, is a conformally invariant stochastic process. It is a family of random planar curves that are generated by solving Charles Loewner s… …
25Stationary process — In the mathematical sciences, a stationary process (or strict(ly) stationary process or strong(ly) stationary process) is a stochastic process whose joint probability distribution does not change when shifted in time or space. Consequently,… …
26Markov decision process — Markov decision processes (MDPs), named after Andrey Markov, provide a mathematical framework for modeling decision making in situations where outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision maker. MDPs are useful for… …

28Semimartingale — In probability theory, a real valued process X is called a semimartingale if it can be decomposed as the sum of a local martingale and an adapted finite variation process.Semimartingales are good integrators , forming the largest class of… …
29Outline of finance — The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to finance: Finance – addresses the ways in which individuals, businesses and organizations raise, allocate and use monetary resources over time, taking into account the risks… …
30Quantum superposition — is the fundamental law of quantum mechanics. It defines the allowed state space of a quantum mechanical system.In Probability theory, every possible event has a positive number associated to it, the probability, which gives the chance that it… …
