- Poisson distribution [r]: a probability distribution that is typically used to model the number of independent events (occurring at a constant average rate) that fall within a stated interval. [e]
- Random number [r]: A member of a sequence of which the successive values cannot be predicted, produced by measurement of physical phenomena, appropriate algorithms, or a combination of the two [e]
- Random variable [r]: a variable whose value is determined by chance rather than as a result of a known cause. [e]
- Standard deviation [r]: A statistical measure for the fluctuation of a random variable about its mean value (the square root of the variance). [e]
- Stochastic convergence [r]: A mathematical concept intended to formalize the idea that a sequence of essentially random or unpredictable events sometimes is expected to settle into a pattern. [e]
- Taylor series [r]: Representation of a function as an infinite sum of terms calculated from the values of its derivatives at a single point. [e]
- Variance [r]: A statistical measure of the variability of a random quantity (defined as the mean squared deviation from the mean value). [e]
