Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences...

An opinion poll, often simply referred to as a survey or a poll (although strictly a poll is an actual election), is a human research survey of public...

Goldbach's conjecture is one of the oldest and best-known unsolved problems in number theory and all of mathematics. It states that every even natural...

Cointegration is a statistical property of a collection (X1, X2, ..., Xk) of time series variables. First, all of the series must be integrated of order...

In probability theory and statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of k {\displaystyle...

Seasonal adjustment or deseasonalization is a statistical method for removing the seasonal component of a time series. It is usually done when wanting...

The fundamental theorem of algebra, also called d'Alembert's theorem or the d'Alembert–Gauss theorem, states that every non-constant single-variable polynomial...

Bradley Efron (/ˈɛfrən/; born May 24, 1938) is an American statistician. Efron has been president of the American Statistical Association (2004) and of...

In probability and statistics, the Irwin–Hall distribution, named after Joseph Oscar Irwin and Philip Hall, is a probability distribution for a random...

In probability theory, a logit-normal distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose logit has a normal distribution. If Y is a...

In cryptography, RC5 is a symmetric-key block cipher notable for its simplicity. Designed by Ronald Rivest in 1994, RC stands for "Rivest Cipher", or alternatively...

Donald Bruce Gillies (October 15, 1928 – July 17, 1975) was a Canadian computer scientist and mathematician who worked in the fields of computer design...

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol provides the ability to secure communications across or inside networks. This comparison of TLS implementations...

In probability theory, the probability generating function of a discrete random variable is a power series representation (the generating function) of...

In mathematics, a function on the real numbers is called a step function if it can be written as a finite linear combination of indicator functions of...

DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) is an Internet security policy mechanism that allows domain name holders to indicate to certificate authorities...

In cryptography, a cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC) is a technique for constructing a message authentication code (MAC) from...

The Dice-Sørensen coefficient (see below for other names) is a statistic used to gauge the similarity of two samples. It was independently developed by...

In mathematics, many logarithmic identities exist. The following is a compilation of the notable of these, many of which are used for computational purposes...
