  2. Human hair growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hair_growth

    The three stages of hair growth are the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Each strand of hair on the human body is at its own stage of development. Once the cycle is complete, it restarts and a new strand of hair begins to form. The growth rate of hair varies from individual to individual depending on their age, genetic predisposition and a ...

  3. Moving average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average

    In statistics, a moving average (rolling average or running average or moving mean[1] or rolling mean) is a calculation to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different selections of the full data set. Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution.

  4. Compound annual growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_annual_growth_rate

    Macroeconomics. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a business, economics and investing term representing the mean annualized growth rate for compounding values over a given time period. [1][2] CAGR smoothes the effect of volatility of periodic values that can render arithmetic means less meaningful. It is particularly useful to compare ...

  5. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    The doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time. When the relative growth rate (not the absolute growth rate) is constant ...

  6. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    For instance, if sales increases by 80% in one year and the next year by 25%, the end result is the same as that of a constant growth rate of 50%, since the geometric mean of 1.80 and 1.25 is 1.50. In order to determine the average growth rate, it is not necessary to take the product of the measured growth rates at every step.

  7. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    In probability theory, a log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln (X) has a normal distribution. [2][3] Equivalently, if Y has a normal distribution, then the exponential ...

  8. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    RGR is a concept relevant in cases where the increase in a state variable over time is proportional to the value of that state variable at the beginning of a time period. In terms of differential equations, if is the current size, and its growth rate, then relative growth rate is. If the RGR is constant, i.e., a solution to this equation is.

  9. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time at an ever-increasing rate. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself. Described as a function, a quantity undergoing exponential growth is an exponential function of time ...
