Exponential smoothing — is a technique that can be applied to time series data, either to produce smoothed data for presentation, or to make forecasts. The time series data themselves are a sequence of observations. The observed phenomenon may be an essentially random… … Wikipedia

Exponential sum — In mathematics, an exponential sum may be a finite Fourier series (i.e. a trigonometric polynomial), or other finite sum formed using the exponential function, usually expressed by means of the function:e(x) = exp(2pi ix).Therefore a typical… … Wikipedia
Exponential growth — The graph illustrates how exponential growth (green) surpasses both linear (red) and cubic (blue) growth. Exponential growth … Wikipedia
Exponential family — Not to be confused with the exponential distribution. Natural parameter links here. For the usage of this term in differential geometry, see differential geometry of curves. In probability and statistics, an exponential family is an important… … Wikipedia
Exponential tree — An exponential tree is almost identical to a binary search tree, with the exception that the dimension of the tree is not the same at all levels. In a normal binary search tree, each node has a dimension ( d ) of 1, and has 2 d children. In an… … Wikipedia

Method of lines — The method of lines (MOL, NMOL, NUMOL) (Schiesser, 1991; Hamdi, et al., 2007; Schiesser, 2009 ) is a technique for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in which all but one dimension is discretized. MOL allows standard, general purpose… … Wikipedia
Method of moments (statistics) — See method of moments (probability theory) for an account of a technique for proving convergence in distribution. In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters such as mean, variance, median, etc. (which… … Wikipedia
Exponential-Golomb coding — An Exponential Golomb code (or just Exp Golomb code) of order k is a type of universal code, parameterized by a whole number k. To encode a nonnegative integer in an order k exp Golomb code, one can use the following method: # Take the number in… … Wikipedia
