  2. Gauss–Legendre algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_algorithm

    The arithmetic–geometric mean of two numbers, a 0 and b 0, is found by calculating the limit of the sequences + = +, + =, which both converge to the same limit. If = and = ⁡ then the limit is (⁡) where () is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind

  3. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A common example of a sigmoid function is the logistic function, which is defined by the formula: [1]

  4. σ-algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Σ-algebra

    An important example is the Borel algebra over any topological space: the σ-algebra generated by the open sets (or, equivalently, by the closed sets). This σ-algebra is not, in general, the whole power set. For a non-trivial example that is not a Borel set, see the Vitali set or Non-Borel sets.

  5. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    For example, some authors [6] define φ X (t) = E[e −2πitX], which is essentially a change of parameter. Other notation may be encountered in the literature: p ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {p}}} as the characteristic function for a probability measure p , or f ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {f}}} as the characteristic function ...

    the Pi function, i.e. the Gamma function when offset to coincide with the factorial; the complete elliptic integral of the third kind; the fundamental groupoid; osmotic pressure; represents: Archimedes' constant (more commonly just called Pi), the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter; the prime-counting function

  7. Big Five personality traits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

    For example, although gradual memory impairment is the hallmark feature of Alzheimer's disease, a systematic review of personality changes in Alzheimer's disease by Robins Wahlin and Byrne, published in 2011, found systematic and consistent trait changes mapped to the Big Five. The largest change observed was a decrease in conscientiousness.

  8. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler . It is a special case of Euler's formula e i x = cos ⁡ x + i sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} when evaluated for x = π {\displaystyle x=\pi } .

    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 ...
