  2. Funnel plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_plot

    In common with confidence interval plots, funnel plots are conventionally drawn with the treatment effect measure on the horizontal axis, so that study precision appears on the vertical axis, breaking with the general rule. Since funnel plots are principally visual aids for detecting asymmetry along the treatment effect axis, this makes them ...

  3. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    Even functions are those real functions whose graph is self-symmetric with respect to the y-axis, and odd functions are those whose graph is self-symmetric with respect to the origin. If the domain of a real function is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, then the function can be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even function and an ...

  4. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    The arc length of one branch between x = x 1 and x = x 2 is a ln ⁠ y 1 / y 2 ⁠. The area between the tractrix and its asymptote is ⁠ π a 2 / 2 ⁠, which can be found using integration or Mamikon's theorem. The envelope of the normals of the tractrix (that is, the evolute of the tractrix) is the catenary (or chain curve) given by y = a ...

  5. Translation of axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_of_axes

    In mathematics, a translation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system in which the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and k units away, and the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and h units away.

  6. Deming regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_regression

    In statistics, Deming regression, named after W. Edwards Deming, is an errors-in-variables model that tries to find the line of best fit for a two-dimensional data set. It differs from the simple linear regression in that it accounts for errors in observations on both the x - and the y - axis.

  7. Convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution

    In fact, if either measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the Haar measure, then so is their convolution. [34] If μ and ν are probability measures on the topological group (R,+), then the convolution μ∗ν is the probability distribution of the sum X + Y of two independent random variables X and Y whose respective distributions ...

  8. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Gaussian functions are widely used in statistics to describe the normal distributions, in signal processing to define Gaussian filters, in image processing where two-dimensional Gaussians are used for Gaussian blurs, and in mathematics to solve heat equations and diffusion equations and to define the Weierstrass transform.

  9. Symmetry in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

    The root system of the exceptional Lie group E 8.Lie groups have many symmetries. Symmetry occurs not only in geometry, but also in other branches of mathematics.Symmetry is a type of invariance: the property that a mathematical object remains unchanged under a set of operations or transformations.
