What's the difference between martingale and stochastic?

Martingale


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Martingal

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Asymptotic efficiency differences between the two martingale techniques are considered.
  • (2) The martingale theory can then be applied to obtain the desired results.
  • (3) The intensity of this process and the corresponding martingales were derived by Gómez and Van Ryzin (1987).
  • (4) Outlines of the necessary asymptotic theory are presented and for this we use the tools of martingale theory.
  • (5) In his first outing, 1962's Cover Her Face , he is dispatched to Martingale manor house in Essex to investigate the violent death of a young woman; in The Private Patient , published in 2008, he lights out for Cheverell Manor in Dorset to apply his brand of thoughtful, practical logic to a similar crime.
  • (6) Wright's model for the effects of random fluctuations in gene frequency in a population of fixed size is generalized to randomly fluctuating population size, and treated from the viewpoint of G. Malécot, using a martingale convergence theorem.
  • (7) Here two related martingale-based techniques are used to derive estimates and associated standard errors for the initial relative infection rate.
  • (8) Adoboli's reckless manner was like that of a "martingale" gambler, a reckless system of betting in which a loss on a position is followed up by a double-sized punt on the same outcome, on the assumption it will eventually recoup losses.

Stochastic


Definition:

  • (a.) Conjectural; able to conjecture.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We assumed that the sensory messages received at a given level are transformed by a stochastic process, called Alopex, in a way which maximizes responses in central feature analyzers.
  • (2) The capacity of granule-cell networks to separate overlapping patterns of activity on their inputs is adequate, with spatial variability in the secretion at synapses, but is improved if there is also temporal variability in the stochastic secretion at individual synapses, although this is at the expense of reliability in the network.
  • (3) The estimation of an expected number of the stochastic effects caused by the internal exposure to ionizing radiation from the administered radionuclides have been performed for the patients according to ICRP recommendations.
  • (4) Methods of analysis for some deterministic and stochastic variants of the integrate-to-threshold neural coding scheme are presented.
  • (5) A stochastic model is presented for the analysis of incomplete repeated-measures experiments.
  • (6) However, a region containing pixels that are perfectly synchronous on average would still yield a finite distribution of calculated Fourier coefficients due to the propagation of stochastic pixel noise into the calculated values.
  • (7) Stochastic analysis of the bleeding data confirmed that women on the high progestogen doses experienced fewer bleeding episodes than those on the low doses.
  • (8) A mutation from one state into another in such system ('bioids') involves an amplification of different 'kinds of information', as 'stochastic' (noise into dissipative structures), 'molecular' (autocatalysts), and 'stoichimetric' information.
  • (9) Estimators of the model parameters are defined under general exact and stochastic linear constraints.
  • (10) These ideas have been incorporated in a Monte Carlo computer program using Poisson statistics to treat the stochastic nature of the energy deposition processes and thereby determine the excitation and ionization states of the molecule.
  • (11) A comparison of experimental and simulated data indicated that most, but not all, of the fluctuation in the moving means was due to the stochastic variation inherent in the gating process.
  • (12) A stochastic process model developed to fit these data indicated the influence of both time-dependent and instantaneous components of IIF, presumed to be the result of seeding and heterogeneous nucleation, respectively.
  • (13) The mitochondrial data demonstrate that such excesses can be detected from genetic variation at a single locus as well, and this is not due to stochastic error of allele frequency distributions.
  • (14) An airjet perturbation device is attached to the wrist with a special cuff, and provides high-frequency stochastic perturbations in potentially three orthogonal directions.
  • (15) Random parameters in stochastic difference equations are autocorrelated stationary Gaussian processes in the first case.
  • (16) The effective dose-equivalent is being estimated for the evaluation of possible radiation risk by the carcinogenic and mutagenic effectiveness of radiation (stochastic radiation risk) with weighting factors.
  • (17) These findings indicate that for NOs of similar replicative competence, a stochastic mechanism governs the relative usage of each NO for endoreplication and that the relative activity of the two NOs is not stably determined through the mitotic divisions preceding polyploidization.
  • (18) A stochastic model was set up to investigate the predictions of current BMU theory.
  • (19) In the model, stochastic differential equations are numerically integrated to simulate the expected response after treatment with two different agents.
  • (20) It should always be kept in mind that a tree is a statistical result that is affected strongly by the stochastic error of nucleotide substitution and the error intrinsic to the tree construction method itself.
