The circumference of a sphere is measured to be 24 cm, with a possible error of 0.25 cm. Use the differential \(dV\) to estimate the maximum error in the calculated ...

The expression commonly given in the literature for the inherent error involved in the Newton-Raphson method is incorrect. New criteria are here derived which may be ...

Let be one of the likelihood functions described in the previous subsections. Let . Finding such that is maximized is equivalent to finding the solution to the likelihood equations With as the initial ...
