One can imagine that there is a "voter" at each point on a connected graph, where the connections indicate that there is some form of interaction between a pair of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical%20risk%20minimization | Empirical risk minimization (ERM) is a principle in statistical learning theory which defines a family of learning algorithms and is used to give theoretical bounds on their performance. The core idea is that we cannot know exactly how well an algorithm will work in practice (the true "risk") because we don't know the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20misnamed%20theorems | This is a list of misnamed theorems in mathematics. It includes theorems (and lemmas, corollaries, conjectures, laws, and perhaps even the odd object) that are well known in mathematics, but which are not named for the originator. That is, these items on this list illustrate Stigler's law of eponymy (which is not, of c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified%20internal%20rate%20of%20return | The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) is a financial measure of an investment's attractiveness. It is used in capital budgeting to rank alternative investments of equal size. As the name implies, MIRR is a modification of the internal rate of return (IRR) and as such aims to resolve some problems with the IRR.
