In this note, we will give the recursive formulas for sample mean and sample variance, and their generalized forms for batch updates. @online{yang2022batch, title ...

Panoptisch scans your Python file or module to find it's imports (aka dependencies) and recursively does so for all dependencies and sub-dependencies. It then generates a dependency tree in JSON for ...

In this paper we propose a new formula to divide power series. We develop two versions of the formula: a recursive and a non-recursive one, the latter aiming to reduce the computational cost for ...

Introduction: Estimates of future disease burden supports public health decision-making. Multistate modeling of chronic diseases is still limited despite a long history of mathematical modeling of ...

We investigate a family of integrals involving modified Bessel functions that arise in the context of neutrino scattering. Recursive formulas are derived for evaluating these integrals and their ...
