Parameters in a linear model.
|
E(x)
|
Expected value of x.

|
f(x|a,b)
|
Probability density function. x is the independent variable; a and b are fixed parameters.
|
F(x|a,b)
|
Cumulative distribution function.
|
I([a, b]) or I[a, b]
|
Indicator function. In this example the function takes the value 1 on the closed interval from a to b and is 0 elsewhere.
|
p and q
|
p is the probability of some event. q is the probability of ~p, so q = 1-p.
