  2. Vinculum (symbol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculum_(symbol)

    A vinculum (from Latin vinculum 'fetter, chain, tie') is a horizontal line used in mathematical notation for various purposes. It may be placed as an overline or underline above or below a mathematical expression to group the expression's elements.

    ^ Unless your wikitext follows the style of point 1.2 ^ The entity support problem is not limited to mathematical formulae though; it can be easily solved by using the corresponding characters instead of entities, as the character repertoire links do, except for cases where the corresponding glyphs are visually indiscernible (e.g. – for ...

  4. Overline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overline

    An overline, overscore, or overbar, is a typographical feature of a horizontal line drawn immediately above the text. In old mathematical notation, an overline was called a vinculum, a notation for grouping symbols which is expressed in modern notation by parentheses, though it persists for symbols under a radical sign.

    Let be a discrete random variable with probability mass function depending on a parameter .Then the function = = (=),considered as a function of , is the likelihood function, given the outcome of the random variable .

  6. Stencil (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil_(numerical_analysis)

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. In mathematics, especially the areas of numerical analysis concentrating on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, a stencil is a geometric arrangement of a nodal group that relate to the point of interest by using a numerical approximation routine.

  7. Instrumental variables estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_variables...

    This equation is similar to the equation involving ⁡ (,) in the introduction (this is the matrix version of that equation). When X and e are uncorrelated , under certain regularity conditions the second term has an expected value conditional on X of zero and converges to zero in the limit, so the estimator is unbiased and consistent.

  8. Parameter identification problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter_identification...

    More generally, consider a linear system of M equations, with M > 1. An equation cannot be identified from the data if less than M − 1 variables are excluded from that equation. This is a particular form of the order condition for identification. (The general form of the order condition deals also with restrictions other than exclusions.)

  9. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

    There are generally two approaches to solving optimal stopping problems. [4] When the underlying process (or the gain process) is described by its unconditional finite-dimensional distributions , the appropriate solution technique is the martingale approach, so called because it uses martingale theory, the most important concept being the Snell ...
