  2. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    Diagram showing the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution with mean (μ) 0 and variance (σ 2) 1. These numerical values "68%, 95%, 99.7%" come from the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. The prediction interval for any standard score z corresponds numerically to (1 − (1 − Φ μ,σ 2 (z)) · 2).

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The standard deviation of the distribution is (sigma). A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed , and is called a normal deviate . Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not ...

  4. σ-algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Σ-algebra

    For example, it is used to equate a probability for a random variable with the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral typically associated with computing the probability: = for all in the Borel σ-algebra on , where () is the cumulative distribution function for , defined on , while is a probability measure, defined on a σ-algebra of subsets of some ...

  5. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    For example, if the product needs to be opened and drained and weighed, or if the product was otherwise used up by the test. In experimental science, a theoretical model of reality is used. Particle physics conventionally uses a standard of "5 sigma" for the declaration of a discovery. A five-sigma level translates to one chance in 3.5 million ...

  6. Product measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_measure

    In mathematics, given two measurable spaces and measures on them, one can obtain a product measurable space and a product measure on that space. Conceptually, this is similar to defining the Cartesian product of sets and the product topology of two topological spaces, except that there can be many natural choices for the product measure.

  7. Singular value decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition

    ⁠ For example, in the above example the null space is spanned by the last row of ⁠ ⁠ and the range is spanned by the first three columns of ⁠. As a consequence, the rank of ⁠ M {\displaystyle \mathbf {M} } ⁠ equals the number of non-zero singular values which is the same as the number of non-zero diagonal elements in Σ ...

  8. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    Examples of the application of the logistic S-curve to the response of crop yield (wheat) to both the soil salinity and depth to water table in the soil are shown in modeling crop response in agriculture. In artificial neural networks, sometimes non-smooth functions are used instead for efficiency; these are known as hard sigmoids.

  9. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein 's formula E = m c 2 {\displaystyle E=mc^{2}} is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy ...
