  2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Exponential growth. Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time at an ever-increasing rate. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself. Described as a function, a quantity undergoing exponential growth is an exponential ...

  3. Growth function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_function

    The growth function, also called the shatter coefficient or the shattering number, measures the richness of a set family or class of function. It is especially used in the context of statistical learning theory, where it is used to study properties of statistical learning methods. The term 'growth function' was coined by Vapnik and Chervonenkis ...

  4. Malthusian growth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_growth_model

    A Malthusian growth model, sometimes called a simple exponential growth model, is essentially exponential growth based on the idea of the function being proportional to the speed to which the function grows. The model is named after Thomas Robert Malthus, who wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), one of the earliest and most ...

  5. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    RGR is a concept relevant in cases where the increase in a state variable over time is proportional to the value of that state variable at the beginning of a time period. In terms of differential equations, if is the current size, and its growth rate, then relative growth rate is. . If the RGR is constant, i.e., , a solution to this equation is.

  6. Combinatorial explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_explosion

    In mathematics, a combinatorial explosion is the rapid growth of the complexity of a problem due to how the combinatorics of the problem is affected by the input, constraints, and bounds of the problem. Combinatorial explosion is sometimes used to justify the intractability of certain problems. [1] [2] Examples of such problems include certain ...

  7. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    The exponential distribution is the special case of a Gamma distribution with shape parameter 1. If X ~ Exp (λ) and Xi ~ Exp (λ i) then: , closure under scaling by a positive factor. 1 + X ~ BenktanderWeibull (λ, 1), which reduces to a truncated exponential distribution. keX ~ Pareto ( k, λ). e−X ~ Beta (λ, 1).

  8. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Probability density function (pdf) or probability density: function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the random variable would equal that sample.
