	Expectation utilities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Expectation utilities are future-regarding, and thus imply desires and beliefs; "natural" utilities are not.
		Expectation utilities allow for long-term projects, which provide a higher proportion of utility than the natural utilities favored by those agents that can only pursue their immediate interest.
		The notion of 'expectation utility' must not be mistaken for that of expected utility.

	Pythagorean expectation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pythagorean expectation is a formula invented by Bill James to estimate how many games a baseball team "should" have won based on the number of runs they scored and allowed.
		The term is derived from the formula's resemblance to Pythagoras' formula to compute the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle from the lengths of its other two sides.
		Applying the pythagorean expectation to Football: Includes a discussion of how the exponent in the formula should be larger the larger the number of points scored per game becomes.

	Expectation Values in Quantum Mechanics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For example, the expectation value of the radius of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is the average value you expect to obtain from making the measurement for a large number of hydrogen atoms.
		While the expectation value of a function of position has the appearance of an average of the function, the expectation value of momentum involves the representation of momentum as a quantum mechanical operator.
		In general, the expectation value for any observable quantity is found by putting the quantum mechanical operator for that observable in the integral of the wavefunction over space:

	Expected value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In probability theory (and especially gambling), the expected value (or mathematical expectation) of a random variable is the sum of the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment multiplied by its payoff ("value").
		The expected value operator (or expectation operator) E is linear in the sense that
		In classical mechanics, the center of mass is an analogous concept to expectation.

	Expectation Damages and the Theory of Overreliance
		The basic remedy for breach of a bargain contract is expectation damages, which puts the injured party where she would have been had the contract been performed.
		The theory of overreliance is not limited in its application to the expectation measure, but it is most salient to that measure, just because the expectation measure is the gold standard in a bargain context.
		In contrast, the costs of a modified expectation measure would be very high, because of the direct costs that would be entailed in applying the theory of overreliance to actual cases, and the indirect effect of those costs on the behavior of contracting parties.

	More on Expectation Values
		The expectation value of a binomial random variable with N trials and success probability p per trial is N*p.
		This is analogous to an average of the values in a particular data set, except that for computing the average of a particular data set you can take all the values that happen to occur and multiply them by their observed relative frequency (as we discussed in a previous page).
		The point is that to compute the expectation of Y, we need the probabilities that Y will take on particular values; because Y is the square of X, the probability that Y will take some value is found from the probability that X will take some other value.

	The Glass Menagerie Summary by Tennessee Williams
		Expectation 1: The Wingfields have expectations and dreams of how life will turn out for them, and of how situations will unfold leading to the ultimate realization of their dreams or goals.

	Expectations and Student Outcomes
		In his 1983 review of the teacher expectations research, Brophy estimated that five to ten percent of the variance in student performance is attributable to differential treatment accorded them based on their teachers' differential expectations of them.
		Lower expectations are often held for older girls--particularly in scientific and technical areas-- because of sex role stereotyping.
		Teachers who form expectations based on inappropriate data, are rigid and unchanging in their expectations, and/or treat low-expectation students in inhibiting ways are generally not aware of their harmful thinking and behaviors.

	Expectation -- the Key to Believing God
		In this example all expectation was taken away, they took it out of their mind, they gave in to sense-knowledge evidence, but when a believer stood on the greatness of God's Word, success was assured.
		Your expectation is to be in the living God and in His Word, not in the uncertainty of riches, not in your circumstances, nor in your tremendous ability to earn a living.
		Expectation is the key to believing and this is shown by confession and thanksgiving.

		In this case, a more explicit expectation, based on detailed client knowledge, would be expected to lead the auditor to recognize the unexpected outcome: a non-change, thereby increasing the auditor(s perception of misstatement risk in the affected account.
		Expectations and management evaluation are binary variables taking the value of 1 if the respondents formed expectations or evaluated management (as appropriate) and 0 if they did not perform these tasks.
		As such, the use of an expectation formation decision aid in analytical procedures may not be equally effective in alerting auditors to all types of misstatements.

		In order to understand what level of risk may exist without destroying the reasonable expectation of privacy, this Section evaluates the risks inherent in the use of alternative means of communication in which lawyers nonetheless are presumed to have such an expectation.
		However, this expectation of privacy in communications by telephone must be considered in light of the substantial risk of interception and disclosure inherent in its use.
		Some court decisions reached the conclusion that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in cordless phones in part because of the absence, at the time, of federal law equivalent to that which protects traditional telephone communications.

	Expectation Maximization
		In general, computations required for EM can be quite difficult requiring complex integrations to compute the required expectations and perform the maximization.
		In the remainder of this section, we consider a special case of EM well suited to distributions in the exponential family.
		In the case of missing data, instead of using the sufficient statistics which we don't have, we use the expected sufficient statistics to iteratively assign estimates to theta and phi.

	Establishing a Legitimate Expectation of Privacy in Clickstream Data, Gavin Skok
		[32] The legitimate expectation of privacy test traditionally entails a two-part inquiry: (1) whether the defendant had an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy; and (2) whether society is prepared to recognize that expectation as reasonable.
		The only court to thus far address expectations of privacy in clickstream data held that a Web user lacked an expectation of privacy in clickstream data generated while at work since he had notice that his Internet usage was being monitored.
		Simons,[70] the Fourth Circuit considered whether an employee retained a legitimate expectation of privacy in records of his Internet use from work in light of a policy implemented by his employer, the Foreign Bureau of Information Services,[71] which warned employees that all Internet activity in the workplace would be monitored and recorded.

	the Reasonable Expectation of Privacy
		The criteria are as follows: 1) general legal principles; 2) the vantage point from which the surveillance is carried out; 3) the degree of privacy afforded by certain buildings and/or places; and 4) the sophistication and invasiveness of the surveillance technology employed.
		The expectation of privacy is not reasonable if the behaviors or communications in question were knowingly exposed to public view.
		The expectation of privacy is not reasonable if there exists a vantage point from which anyone, not just a police officer, can see or hear what was going on and if this vantage point is or should be known or "reasonably foreseen" by the person being surveilled.
