Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Covariance: a measure of the direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Discrete ...

In this paper we extend to the discrete case a Karhunen-Loève expansion already known for continuous families of classical orthogonal polynomials. This expansion involves Krawtchouk polynomials. It ...

An expected volume coefficient (EV) is defined and proposed to displace volume and selectivity as criteria for the evaluation of confidence sets, and a proposal for evaluation is given. This proposal ...
