The doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time. When the relative growth rate (not the absolute growth rate) is constant ...
Rainflow counting identifies the closed cycles in a stress-strain curve. The rainflow-counting algorithm is used in calculating the fatigue life of a component in order to convert a loading sequence of varying stress into a set of constant amplitude stress reversals with equivalent fatigue damage. The method successively extracts the smaller ...
Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient. The Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) is used to assess the predictive skill of hydrological models. It is defined as: where is the mean of observed discharges, and is modeled discharge. is observed discharge at time t. [1]
X-13ARIMA-SEATS, successor to X-12-ARIMA and X-11, is a set of statistical methods for seasonal adjustment and other descriptive analysis of time series data that are implemented in the U.S. Census Bureau's software package. [3] These methods are or have been used by Statistics Canada, Australian Bureau of Statistics, and the statistical ...
The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method ( DLS) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculate the target score (number of runs needed to win) for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstances. The method was devised by two English statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, and was ...
Rumack–Matthew Nomogram showing acetaminophen level versus time as a method of interpreting levels and assessing severity and need for treatment. The Rumack–Matthew nomogram, also known as the acetaminophen nomogram, is an acetaminophen toxicity nomogram. It plots serum concentration of acetaminophen against the time since ingestion, in ...
In asset pricing and portfolio management the Fama–French three-factor model is a statistical model designed in 1992 by Eugene Fama and Kenneth French to describe stock returns. Fama and French were colleagues at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where Fama still works. In 2013, Fama shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in ...
Randles–Sevcik equation. In electrochemistry, the Randles–Ševčík equation describes the effect of scan rate on the peak current ip for a cyclic voltammetry experiment. For simple redox events such as the ferrocene / ferrocenium couple, ip depends not only on the concentration and diffusional properties of the electroactive species but ...
