Fun Facts about discrete random variables and logs
... where fi = ∑ hij = Pr(X = Xi ) and Pr(Y = Yj ) = gj = ∑ hij . Covariances, unlike variances, can be positive or negative and range from –∞ to +∞. Sometimes we'll write σ xy for Cov(X, Y). Notice that the variance of a random variable is the same thing as its covariance with itself. An important fact ...

Bernoulli Law of Large Numbers and Weierstrass` Approximation
... f is continuous on a closed interval, hence it is bounded, and it is also uniformly continuous by Heine’s theorem. Therefore with ε/2 we have δ > 0 such that |f (x) − f (y)| ≤ ε/2 for all 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1, |x − y| ≤ δ. With this δ, ...

Binomial identities, binomial coefficients, and binomial theorem
... for this sequence. The generating function for the sequence (fn−1 ) is X · f (X) and that of (fn−2 ) is X 2 · f (X). From the recurrence relation, we therefore see that the power series Xf (X) + X 2 f (X) agrees with f (X) except for the first two coefficients. Taking these into account, we find tha ...
