  2. Slutsky's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slutsky's_theorem

    This theorem follows from the fact that if X n converges in distribution to X and Y n converges in probability to a constant c, then the joint vector (X n, Y n) converges in distribution to (X, c) . Next we apply the continuous mapping theorem , recognizing the functions g ( x , y ) = x + y , g ( x , y ) = xy , and g ( x , y ) = x y −1 are ...

  3. Uniform convergence in probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_convergence_in...

    Uniform convergence in probability is a form of convergence in probability in statistical asymptotic theory and probability theory. It means that, under certain conditions, the empirical frequencies of all events in a certain event-family converge to their theoretical probabilities .

  4. Glivenko–Cantelli theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glivenko–Cantelli_theorem

    A class is called a universal Glivenko–Cantelli class if it is a GC class with respect to any probability measure on (,). A class is a weak uniform Glivenko–Cantelli class if the convergence occurs uniformly over all probability measures P {\displaystyle \mathbb {P} } on ( S , A ) {\displaystyle ({\mathcal {S}},A)} : For every ε > 0 ...

  5. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random...

    Not every sequence of random variables which converges to another random variable in distribution also converges in probability to that random variable. As an example, consider a sequence of standard normal random variables X n {\displaystyle X_{n}} and a second sequence Y n = ( − 1 ) n X n {\displaystyle Y_{n}=(-1)^{n}X_{n}} .

    The polar angle is distributed according to the probability density, = ⁡ Using the change of variable = ⁡, we have () = so ⁡ = ⁡ = = The post-collision velocities are set as = + = Note that by conservation of linear momentum and energy the center of mass velocity and the relative speed are unchanged in a collision.

  7. Event (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)

    In probability theory, an event is a subset of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned. [1] A single outcome may be an element of many different events, [2] and different events in an experiment are usually not equally likely, since they may include very different groups of outcomes. [3]

  8. Continuous uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_uniform...

    On the other hand, the uniformly distributed numbers are often used as the basis for non-uniform random variate generation. If u {\displaystyle u} is a value sampled from the standard uniform distribution, then the value a + ( b − a ) u {\displaystyle a+(b-a)u} follows the uniform distribution parameterized by a {\displaystyle a} and b ...

  9. Weibull distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the Weibull distribution / ˈ w aɪ b ʊ l / is a continuous probability distribution. It models a broad range of random variables, largely in the nature of a time to failure or time between events. Examples are maximum one-day rainfalls and the time a user spends on a web page.
