exponential distribution — a skewed probability distribution with right tail extending to infinity and having the density function f(x) = λe−λx for x ≥ 0 and λ > 0. The mean is 1/λ and the variance is (1/λ)2. The mode is at zero and the … Medical dictionary
Hyper-exponential distribution — In probability theory, a hyper exponential distribution is a continuous distribution such that the probability density function of the random variable X is given by: f X(x) = sum {i=1}^n f {Y i}(y) p i,where Y i is an exponentially distributed… … Wikipedia

Exponential decay — A quantity undergoing exponential decay. Larger decay constants make the quantity vanish much more rapidly. This plot shows decay for decay constants of 25, 5, 1, 1/5, and 1/25 for x from 0 to 5. A quantity is said to be subject to exponential… … Wikipedia
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 power distribution — The exponential power distribution, also known as the generalized error distribution, is a probability distribution that takes a scale parameter a and exponent (or shape parameter) b . The probability density is: p(x) , dx = {1 over 2 a… … Wikipedia
