In probability theory, the central limit theorem (CLT) states that, under appropriate conditions, the distribution of a normalized version of the sample...

In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry. The parallel postulate...

Robust statistics are statistics which maintain their properties even if the underlying distributional assumptions are incorrect. Robust statistical methods...

In mathematical logic, propositional logic and predicate logic, a well-formed formula, abbreviated WFF or wff, often simply formula, is a finite sequence...

In computer security, a side-channel attack is any attack based on extra information that can be gathered because of the fundamental way a computer protocol...

In the mathematical field of set theory, an ultrafilter on a set X {\displaystyle X} is a maximal filter on the set X . {\displaystyle X.} In other words...

In mathematics and theoretical physics, the term quantum group denotes one of a few different kinds of noncommutative algebras with additional structure...

In numerical analysis, the Crank–Nicolson method is a finite difference method used for numerically solving the heat equation and similar partial differential...

In mathematics, the Jacobi elliptic functions are a set of basic elliptic functions. They are found in the description of the motion of a pendulum (see...

In the mathematical field of order theory, an ultrafilter on a given partially ordered set (or "poset") P {\textstyle P} is a certain subset of P , {\displaystyle...

In mathematics, in the subfield of geometric topology, the mapping class group is an important algebraic invariant of a topological space. Briefly, the...

In coding theory, a cyclic code is a block code, where the circular shifts of each codeword gives another word that belongs to the code. They are error-correcting...

The philosophy of statistics involves the meaning, justification, utility, use and abuse of statistics and its methodology, and ethical and epistemological...

Misuse of p-values is common in scientific research and scientific education. p-values are often used or interpreted incorrectly; the American Statistical...

In geometry, hyperbolic motions are isometric automorphisms of a hyperbolic space. Under composition of mappings, the hyperbolic motions form a continuous...

Slice sampling is a type of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e. for drawing random samples from a statistical distribution...

The Faddeeva function or Kramp function is a scaled complex complementary error function, w ( z ) := e − z 2 erfc ⁡ ( − i z ) = erfcx ⁡ ( − i z ) = e −...
