  2. Central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

    There are several versions of the CLT, each applying in the context of different conditions. The theorem is a key concept in probability theory because it implies that probabilistic and statistical methods that work for normal distributions can be applicable to many problems involving other types of distributions.

  3. Illustration of the central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustration_of_the...

    In probability theory, the central limit theorem (CLT) states that, in many situations, when independent and identically distributed random variables are added, their properly normalized sum tends toward a normal distribution. This article gives two illustrations of this theorem.

  4. Lindeberg's condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindeberg's_condition

    In probability theory, Lindeberg's condition is a sufficient condition (and under certain conditions also a necessary condition) for the central limit theorem (CLT) to hold for a sequence of independent random variables.

  5. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

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

    If X n converges in probability to X, and if P(| X n | ≤ b) = 1 for all n and some b, then X n converges in rth mean to X for all r ≥ 1. In other words, if X n converges in probability to X and all random variables X n are almost surely bounded above and below, then X n converges to X also in any rth mean. [10] Almost sure representation ...

  6. Donsker's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donsker's_theorem

    Donsker's invariance principle for simple random walk on .. In probability theory, Donsker's theorem (also known as Donsker's invariance principle, or the functional central limit theorem), named after Monroe D. Donsker, is a functional extension of the central limit theorem for empirical distribution functions.

  7. Markov chain central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain_central_limit...

    In the mathematical theory of random processes, the Markov chain central limit theorem has a conclusion somewhat similar in form to that of the classic central limit theorem (CLT) of probability theory, but the quantity in the role taken by the variance in the classic CLT has a more complicated definition.

  8. The Overdue, Under-Told Story Of The Clitoris

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy/intro

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Galton board - Wikipedia

    Galton box A Galton box demonstrated. The Galton board, also known as the Galton box or quincunx or bean machine (or incorrectly Dalton board), is a device invented by Francis Galton [1] to demonstrate the central limit theorem, in particular that with sufficient sample size the binomial distribution approximates a normal distribution.
