Template:ProbabilityTopicsTOC Template:StatsTopicTOC Probability theory and statistics have some commonly used conventions, in addition to standard mathematical notation and mathematical symbols.

Probability theory

• Random variables are usually written in upper case roman letters: X, Y, etc.
• Particular realizations of a random variable are written in corresponding lower case letters. For example x₁, x₂, …, x_n could be a sample corresponding to the random variable X.
• $P(A\cap B)$ or $P[A\cap B]$ indicates the probability that events A and B both occur.
• $P(A\cup B)$ or $P[A\cup B]$ indicates the probability of either event A or event B occurring ("or" in this case means one or the other or both).
• σ-algebras are usually written with upper case calligraphic (e.g. $\mathcal{ℱ}$ for the set of sets on which we define the probability P)
• Probability density functions (pdfs) and probability mass functions are denoted by lower case letters, e.g. f(x).
• Cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) are denoted by upper case letters, e.g. F(x).
• In particular, the pdf of the standard normal distribution is denoted by φ(z), and its cdf by Φ(z).
• Some common operators:

• E[X] : expected value of X
• var[X] : variance of X
• cov[X, Y] : covariance of X and Y

Statistics

• Greek letters (e.g. θ, β) are commonly used to denote unknown parameters (population parameters).
• An estimate of a parameter is often denoted by placing a caret or "hat" over the corresponding symbol, e.g. $\hat{\theta }$, pronounced "theta hat".
• The arithmetic mean of a series of values x₁, x₂, ..., x_n is often denoted by placing an "overbar" over the symbol, e.g. $\overline{x}$, pronounced "x bar".
• Some commonly used symbols for sample statistics are given below:
  • the sample mean $\overline{x}$,
  • the sample variance s²,
  • the sample standard deviation s,
  • the sample correlation coefficient r,
  • the sample cumulants k_r.
• Some commonly used symbols for population parameters are given below:
  • the population mean μ,
  • the population variance σ²,
  • the population standard deviation σ,
  • the population correlation ρ,
  • the population cumulants κ_r.

Critical values

The α-level upper critical value of a probability distribution is the value exceeded with probability α, that is, the value x_α such that F(x_α) = 1 − α where F is the cumulative distribution function. There are standard notations for the upper critical values of some commonly used distributions in statistics:

• z_α or z(α) for the Standard normal distribution
• t_α,ν or t(α,ν) for the t-distribution with ν degrees of freedom
• ${\chi }_{\alpha ,\nu }^2$ or ${\chi }^2(\alpha ,\nu )$ for the chi-squared distribution with ν degrees of freedom
• $F_{\alpha ,{\nu }_1,{\nu }_2}$ or F(α,ν₁,ν₂) for the F-distribution with ν₁ and ν₂ degrees of freedom

Linear algebra

• Matrices are usually denoted by boldface capital letters, e.g. A.
• Column vectors are usually denoted by boldface lower case letters, e.g. x.
• The transpose operator is denoted by either a superscript T (e.g. A^T) or a prime symbol (e.g. A′).
• A row vector is written as the transpose of a column vector, e.g. x^T or x′.

Abbreviations

Common abbreviations include:

• a.e. almost everywhere
• a.s. almost surely
• cdf cumulative distribution function
• cmf cumulative mass function
• df degrees of freedom (also $\nu$)
• i.i.d. independent and identically distributed
• pdf probability density function
• pmf probability mass function
• r.v. random variable
• w.p. with probability; wp1 with probability 1

Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

  Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.
  
  15.6.1 As the agent is an intermediary, generally, as soon as the principal and third party are introduced right into a contractual relationship, the agent drops out of the image, subject to any problems with remuneration or indemnification that he could have against the principal, and extra exceptionally, against the third occasion. Generally, agents are entitled to be indemnified for all liabilities reasonably incurred within the execution of the brokers´ authority.
