Every Wednesday I’ve been pointing out various resources on my website. So far they’ve all been web pages, but the following are all PDF files.
Probability and statistics:
- How to test a random number generator
- Predictive probabilities for normal outcomes
- Predictive probability interim analysis
- Relating two definitions of expectation
- Illustrating the error in the delta method
- Relating the error function erf and Φ
- Inverse gamma distribution
- Negative binomial distribution
- Upper and lower bounds for the normal distribution function
- Canonical example of Bayes’ theorem in detail
- Functions of regular variation
- Student-t as a mixture of normals
Other math:
- Chebyshev polynomials
- Richard Stanley’s twelvefold way (combinatorics)
- Hypergeometric functions
- Outline of Laplace transforms
- Navier-Stokes equations
- Picking the step size for numerical ODEs
- Orthogonal polynomials
- Multi-index notation
- The pqr theorem for seminorms
See also journal articles and technical reports.
Last week: Probability approximations
Next week: Code Project articles
Just if you still want to know how to write Stirling numbers of the second kind in LaTeX, Knuth style :)
