Eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In linear algebra, an eigenvector ( / ˈaɪɡən -/ EYE-gən-) or characteristic vector is a vector that has its direction unchanged by a given linear transformation. More precisely, an eigenvector, , of a linear transformation, , is scaled by a constant factor, , when the linear transformation is applied to it: .
Standard normal table. In statistics, a standard normal table, also called the unit normal table or Z table, [ 1] is a mathematical table for the values of Φ, the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. It is used to find the probability that a statistic is observed below, above, or between values on the standard normal ...
In probability theory, the expected value (also called expectation, expectancy, expectation operator, mathematical expectation, mean, expectation value, or first moment) is a generalization of the weighted average. Informally, the expected value is the arithmetic mean of the possible values a random variable can take, weighted by the ...
Generalized extreme value distribution. ξ ∈ ℝ — shape. x ∈ ( −∞, μ - σ ξ ] when ξ < 0 . and is Euler’s constant. where is the lower incomplete gamma function and is the logarithmic integral function. [ 2] In probability theory and statistics, the generalized extreme value ( GEV) distribution[ 3] is a family of ...
About 68% of values drawn from a normal distribution are within one standard deviation σ from the mean; about 95% of the values lie within two standard deviations; and about 99.7% are within three standard deviations. [6] This fact is known as the 68–95–99.7 (empirical) rule, or the 3-sigma rule.
Bottom: The action of Σ, a scaling by the singular values σ1 horizontally and σ2 vertically. Right: The action of U, another rotation. In linear algebra, the singular value decomposition ( SVD) is a factorization of a real or complex matrix into a rotation, followed by a rescaling followed by another rotation.
This value can then be used to give some scaling relation between the inflexion point and maximum point of the log-normal distribution. [44] This relationship is determined by the base of natural logarithm, e = 2.718 … {\displaystyle e=2.718\ldots } , and exhibits some geometrical similarity to the minimal surface energy principle.
The natural logarithm of e itself, ln e, is 1, because e1 = e, while the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, since e0 = 1 . The natural logarithm can be defined for any positive real number a as the area under the curve y = 1/x from 1 to a[ 4] (with the area being negative when 0 < a < 1 ). The simplicity of this definition, which is matched in many ...
