Matthew Yglesias waxes rhapsodic about being on the "back half of the chessboard" in terms of the exponential growth of computer technologies. The point of this, in terms of technological progress, is ...

We study geometric moment contracting properties of nonlinear time series that are expressed in terms of iterated random functions. Under a Dini-continuity condition, a central limit theorem for ...

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 ...

This paper provides a numerical technique for determining the parameters in a model expressible as the sum of exponentials. The essence of the method is to rewrite the model so that after ...
