  2. Gaussian integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integral

    Gaussian integral. A graph of the function and the area between it and the -axis, (i.e. the entire real line) which is equal to . The Gaussian integral, also known as the Euler–Poisson integral, is the integral of the Gaussian function over the entire real line. Named after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the integral is.

  3. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Gaussian function. In mathematics, a Gaussian function, often simply referred to as a Gaussian, is a function of the base form and with parametric extension for arbitrary real constants a, b and non-zero c. It is named after the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The graph of a Gaussian is a characteristic symmetric "bell curve" shape.

  4. Gaussian process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_process

    In probability theory and statistics, a Gaussian process is a stochastic process (a collection of random variables indexed by time or space), such that every finite collection of those random variables has a multivariate normal distribution. The distribution of a Gaussian process is the joint distribution of all those (infinitely many) random ...

  5. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The Gaussian function has a 1/e 2 diameter (2w as used in the text) about 1.7 times the FWHM.. At a position z along the beam (measured from the focus), the spot size parameter w is given by a hyperbolic relation: [1] = + (), where [1] = is called the Rayleigh range as further discussed below, and is the refractive index of the medium.

  6. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    Gaussian quadrature. [−1, 1] (–1) + (1) = –10 ⁄ composite. () = 73 – 82 – 3 + 3. In numerical analysis, an n -point Gaussian quadrature rule, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, [1] is a quadrature rule constructed to yield an exact result for polynomials of degree 2n − 1 or less by a suitable choice of the nodes xi and weights wi ...

  7. Gauss–Newton algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Newton_algorithm

    The Gauss–Newton algorithm is used to solve non-linear least squares problems, which is equivalent to minimizing a sum of squared function values. It is an extension of Newton's method for finding a minimum of a non-linear function. Since a sum of squares must be nonnegative, the algorithm can be viewed as using Newton's method to iteratively ...

  8. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    This problem is known as the primitive circle problem, as it involves searching for primitive solutions to the original circle problem. [9] It can be intuitively understood as the question of how many trees within a distance of r are visible in the Euclid's orchard , standing in the origin.

  9. Matrix normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_normal_distribution

    The probability density function for the random matrix X (n × p) that follows the matrix normal distribution , (,,) has the form: (,,) = ⁡ ([() ()]) / | | / | | /where denotes trace and M is n × p, U is n × n and V is p × p, and the density is understood as the probability density function with respect to the standard Lebesgue measure in , i.e.: the measure corresponding to integration ...
