Similarly, some blog posts and nLab pages serve this purpose, but are not created systematically. </p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/51055/is-division-considered-the-mathematical-dual-of-multiplication/51058#51058 Answer by maxdev for Is division considered the mathematical dual of multiplication? maxdev 2011-01-03T20:22:59Z 2011-01-03T20:22:59Z <p>I think that non-technically, duality is pretty unrestricted (if the dual of A is B, then the dual of B is A). But if you use it technically, it is important to say exactly what you mean by it.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/50743/moore-penrose-pseudo-inverse/50771#50771 Answer by maxdev for Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse maxdev 2010-12-30T22:54:31Z 2010-12-30T22:54:31Z <p>"what i am looking for is what is suppose I know the MP of Z^T Z, how can i get the MP of A Z^T Z A using A and the MP of Z^T Z? thanks"</p> <p>$(A Z^T Z A)^\dagger = (A ((Z^TZ)^\dagger)^\dagger A)^\dagger$</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/50763/what-is-the-dimensionality-of-a-tree/50764#50764 Answer by maxdev for what is the dimensionality of a tree? maxdev 2010-12-30T21:42:23Z 2010-12-30T21:42:23Z <p>There are treelike structures here with varying fractional dimensions.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fractals_by_Hausdorff_dimension" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fractals_by_Hausdorff_dimension</a></p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/50760/order-statistics-probability-random-variable-is-k-th-out-of-n-when-ordered/50761#50761 Answer by maxdev for Order statistics: probability random variable is k-th out of n when ordered. maxdev 2010-12-30T21:21:30Z 2010-12-30T21:21:30Z <p>stats.stackexchange</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/49979/statistics-of-a-simple-markov-chain/50001#50001 Answer by maxdev for Statistics of a simple Markov chain maxdev 2010-12-20T21:46:04Z 2010-12-20T21:46:04Z <p>By exponential moving average you mean something like $b_k = C \sum_{i=k}^{\infty} {\frac{a_i}{\lambda^i}}$ ? If $\lambda$ is small enough then this would depend hugely on $a_k$ and so it wouldn't be gaussian right?</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/49984/technical-trends-quietly-aimed-at-big-open-problems/49991#49991 Answer by maxdev for Technical trends quietly aimed at big open problems? maxdev 2010-12-20T19:06:51Z 2010-12-20T19:06:51Z <p>The study of L-functions is related to a few of the Millennium problems.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/49437/why-are-so-few-operations-with-arity-bigger-than-2/49449#49449 Answer by maxdev for Why are so few operations with arity bigger than 2? maxdev 2010-12-14T22:15:50Z 2010-12-14T22:15:50Z <p>Is this like the question why matrices are more common than multi-matrices?

If you want a formula for the maximum standard deviation as a function of the interval endpoints and the number of samples, you will probably want to divide the formula up depending on whether the number of samples is even or odd.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/51055/is-division-considered-the-mathematical-dual-of-multiplication/51058#51058 Comment by maxdev maxdev 2011-01-03T20:45:42Z 2011-01-03T20:45:42Z sorry this wasn't supposed to be condescending http://mathoverflow.net/questions/49984/technical-trends-quietly-aimed-at-big-open-problems/49991#49991 Comment by maxdev maxdev 2010-12-20T19:18:40Z 2010-12-20T19:18:40Z I guess this is not really quiet or secret. http://mathoverflow.net/questions/49425/calculate-largest-possible-standard-deviation-for-a-set/49427#49427 Comment by maxdev maxdev 2010-12-14T20:27:27Z 2010-12-14T20:27:27Z There is also a stats stackexchange if I am not mistaken, where this question may be more appropriate.
