The planar Mestel disk has , giving independent centered Gaussian distributions for with velocity dispersions . Its streaming velocity is zero. A maximally prograde stellar distribution instead has mean and azimuthal variance , while all second raw moments remain unchanged.
For observations of an Itô integral on a partition of an interval, the statistic estimates . With a deterministic noise coefficient the squared increments are independent, and the fluctuation has variance .
White-noise likelihood for a square-integrable shift Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
Generalized Gaussian white noise over a real Hilbert space is an isonormal Gaussian process with covariance . Its law is carried on a larger observation space; the identity is not the covariance of an infinite-dimensional -valued Gaussian measure because it is not a trace-class operator. A deterministic signal defines a translated observation law with Radon-Nikodym derivative
In an orthonormal basis, is a stochastic series with total variance , not an inner product of two -valued observations. The formula follows from the Cameron-Martin theorem for a Gaussian measure in its generalized white-noise version, or from finite-dimensional Gaussian likelihood ratios. On , generalized noise can be realized on tempered distributions; an unweighted global negative Sobolev space is not automatically a suitable almost-sure support on an unbounded domain. The stochastic series avoids imposing that unsupported regularity.
Wigner matrix 2026-10-07
A real Wigner matrix is a real symmetric matrix whose upper off-diagonal entries are independent centered copies of a fixed random variable, scaled to have variance of order . Diagonal conventions may vary and should be specified separately. A common version has variance-one unscaled off-diagonal entries and either zero diagonal entries or independent diagonal entries with a bounded second moment.
Zero-energy filament mode 2026-10-07
A zero-energy mode lies in the kernel of the quadratic elastic filament operator. For pure bending, zero curvature makes the displacement affine. Free-free endpoints therefore leave translation and tilt modes, while slope-constrained, force-free endpoints leave only translation. Both clamped-clamped and hinged-hinged endpoints remove these modes. An unrestricted modal amplitude has constant Boltzmann distribution weight, so no normalizable canonical ensemble or finite displacement variance exists. Fixing the rigid degrees of freedom allows the equipartition theorem on the positive complement.
Zero-inflated negative binomial model Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-07
With structural-zero probability , size and count mean , the model assigns to zero and to positive counts. Its expectation is and its variance is , by the law of total variance. A logarithmic link function can relate the count-component mean to predictors.
When a full-rank normal regression with positive residual degrees of freedom happens to fit all supplied observations exactly, its residual estimate of variance is zero. The ordinary Studentized prediction-interval formula formally collapses, but the statistic divides by zero. Under positive true Gaussian variance such samples form a null set; exact rounded or constructed data must not be treated as proof that future randomness vanishes.
