  2. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    The asymptotic growth of the coefficients of this generating function can then be sought via the finding of A, B, α, β, and r to describe the generating function, as above. Similar asymptotic analysis is possible for exponential generating functions; with an exponential generating function, it is ⁠ a n / n!

  3. Bounded growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_growth

    Bounded growth, also called asymptotic growth, [1] occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is constantly increasing at a decreasing rate. Asymptotically, bounded growth approaches a fixed value. This contrasts with exponential growth, which is constantly increasing at an accelerating rate, and therefore approaches infinity in the ...

  4. Asymptotic theory (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_theory_(statistics)

    The rate of convergence must be chosen carefully, though, usually h ∝ n −1/5. In many cases, highly accurate results for finite samples can be obtained via numerical methods (i.e. computers); even in such cases, though, asymptotic analysis can be useful. This point was made by Small (2010, §1.4), as follows.

  5. Lottery (decision theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_(decision_theory)

    In expected utility theory, a lottery is a discrete distribution of probability on a set of states of nature. The elements of a lottery correspond to the probabilities that each of the states of nature will occur, (e.g. Rain: 0.70, No Rain: 0.30). [ 1 ]

  6. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis, also known as asymptotics, is a method of describing limiting behavior. As an illustration, suppose that we are interested in the properties of a function f ( n ) as n becomes very large.

  7. Competitive Lotka–Volterra equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_Lotka...

    This model can be generalized to any number of species competing against each other. One can think of the populations and growth rates as vectors, α 's as a matrix.Then the equation for any species i becomes = (=) or, if the carrying capacity is pulled into the interaction matrix (this doesn't actually change the equations, only how the interaction matrix is defined), = (=) where N is the ...

  8. Periodic annual increment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_annual_increment

    Where: Y is the yield (volume, height, DBH, etc.) at times 1 and 2 and T 1 represents the year starting the growth period, and T 2 is the end year. Example: Say that the growth period is from age 5 to age 10, and the yield (height of the tree), is 14 feet at the beginning of the period and 34 feet at the end.

  9. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if
