An accelerometer is a device used to measure linear acceleration without an external reference. The main idea has already been illustrated in the previous lecture with the example of the boy in the elevator. Clearly, if we know the weight of the boy when the acceleration is zero, we can determine from the reading on the scale the value of the acceleration. In summary, the acceleration will produce an inertial force on a test mass, and this force can be nulled and measured with precision. Below we have sketch of a very simple one axis accelerometer
Crofton's Method Let X1 and X2 be independent random variables that are uniformly distributed over the interval [o, a]. We are interested in computing E[ -X2l]. For instance, in an urban setting, X1 and X2 may denote the location of an accident and the location where an emergency vehicle is currently parked in a road segment of length a, respectively In this case, we want to know the distance
General GMM formula Let y, be an h-vector of variables that are observed at date t, let denote an unknown vector of coefficients, h(e, y,) Be an r-vector real function. Let denote true value of 0, and suppose this true value is
Lecture 4 Explanation Paragraph or Cause-effect Paragraph Objectives To learn what an explanation paragraph is To learn to write an explanation paragraph effectively Writing instruction In an explanation paragraph, you need to explain how or why something happens. Very often in social studies class, you will be asked to explore
It's really sort of amazing that people manage to communicate in the English language Here are some typical sentences: 1. You may have cake or you may have ice cream 2. If pigs can fly, then you can understand the Chernoff bound 3. If you can solve any problem we come up with then you get an a for the course. 4. Every American has a dream What precisely do these sentences mean? Can you have both cake and ice cream or must you choose just one desert? If the second sentence is true, then is the Chernoff bound incomprehensible? If you can solve some problems we come up with but not all, then do you get an a for the course? And can you still get an a even if you cant solve any of the problems? Does the last sentence imply that all Americans have the same dream or might
1 Induction Recall the principle of induction: Principle of Induction. Let P(n) be a predicate. If ·P(0) is true,an for all nE N, P(n) implies P(n+1), then P(n) is true for all nE N As an example let's try to find a simple expression equal to the following sum and then use induction to prove our guess correct 1·2+2·3+3:4+…+n·(mn+1) To help find an equivalent expression, we could try evaluating the sum for some small n and(with the help of a computer) some larger n sum
Types of options A call is an option to buy A put is an option to sell A European option can be exercised only at the end of its life An American option can be exercised at any time
