In the Introduction to the Derivative video we introduce the notion of the derivative of a function and explain how the derivative captures the instantaneous rate of change of a function. In the ...

Tierney and Kadane (1986) presented a simple second-order approximation for posterior expectations of positive functions. They used Laplace's method for asymptotic evaluation of integrals, in which ...

Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...
