	Moment (mathematics) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The concept of moment in (A science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement) mathematics evolved from the concept of moment in (The science of matter and energy and their interactions) physics.
		The second central moment is the (The second moment around the mean; the expected value of the square of the deviations of a random variable from its mean value) variance.
		The central moments beyond the third lack this linearity; in that respect they differ from the (additional info and facts about cumulant) cumulants (the first three cumulants are the same as the first moment and the second and third central moments; the higher cumulants have a more complicated relationship with the central moments).

	Problem-solving
		A problem is a situation which is experienced by an agent as different from the situation which the agent ideally would like to be in.
		Problem states will generally involve objects, which are the elements of the situation that are invariant under actions, and properties or predicates, which are the variable attributes of the objects.
		Problem representations are usually also models of the situation as experienced by the agent.

	The Stopping Problem
		The artificial intelligence problem had been solved three months before, to the considerable surprise of the increasingly discouraged experts, and computer research in the area had once again become fashionable.
		The tangled biological complexity of the human brain did not affect the essence of the problem, and the notion that consciousness might be connected with uncanny spiritual substances was shown to be an unnecessary hypothesis.
		The problem was that the odd moments were coming to take up most of the day for people who did not carefully discipline themselves.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Silenced We Stand
		Moments of silence have been so widely observed in the wake of Sept. 11—newspapers from the Anchorage Daily News to the Greensboro (N.C.) News & Record recorded area moments of silence on the first anniversary of the attacks—that it is instructive to investigate the origins of the phrase.
		The first recorded use of “moment of silence,” the Oxford English Dictionary notes, was in 1942, when the American Sociological Review resolved to “express our regret and honor their memory by rising and preserving a moment of silence.” Whose memory, the venerable OED doesn’t say; there are space constraints.
		It is this regular scholastic observation of moments of silence that is partially responsible for the profanation of memorial moments of silence.

	Moment (mathematics)
		The concept of moment in mathematics evolved from the concept of moment in physics.
		The central momemts are clearly translation-invariant, i.e., the nth central moment of X is the same as that of X + c for any constant c (in this context "constant" means a non-random quantity).
		The central moments beyond the third lack this linearity; in that respect they differ from the cumulants (the first three cumulants are the same as the first moment and the second and third central moments; the higher cumulants have a more complicated relationship with the central moments).

	The Problem of Agreement in Republicanism, Proceduralism, and the Mature Dewey: A "Two Moments of Discourse Ethics" ...
		My basic point is that the agreement problem is the central issue in both situations: a norm must be agree to by all, regardless of whether "all" means the partners in a marriage or the citizens of some large society.
		With this understanding of the agreement problem and how it can be overcome, and with this allusion to the mutual dependence of discourse ethics and Honneth's concerns, we are now in a position to examine Honneth's treatment of republicanism, proceduralism, and the theories of the mature Dewey.
		Honneth (18) seems to hold that this imprecision is a central problem for discourse ethics, but I don't believe so, at least in the context of this paper.

	Blade Problem - Rotor & Wing Aviation Services - SPAN Moments - Rotor Vibration
		Moment of Inertia/Angular momentum is related to the distance out from the hub (Span) that the Span CofG is considered to act - chord has very little moment arm by comparison.
		Span Moment Arm is defined as the turning force exerted by the mass of an object (eg blade) about a pivot point (eg the mast).
		The crux of the problem is the correction of Span Moment variation/migration using and consuming Dynamic lateral adjustment authority.

	Normal convergence problem? Two moments and a recurrence may be the clues, Boris Pittel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For various global characteristics of large size combinatorial structures, such as graphs, trees, one can usually estimate the mean and the variance, and also obtain a recurrence for the generating function, with the structure size n serving as the recursive parameter.
		The technical reason is that in such a case the moment generating function (the characteristic function) of the normal distribution with the same two moments "almost" satisfies the recurrence.
		Of course, an actual proof may well depend on a magnitude of the relative error, and the latter is basically determined by degree of nonlinearity of the mean and the variance.

	Tradition and the Problem of Exclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We can understand a tradition as a line of descent—that it narrates what amounts to a family history that identifies a primary progenitor from whom a lineal descent can be traced through a sequence of intermediate ancestors to the present individual.
		That is the problem: traditions are essential to any claim or assignment of identity yet what they render as identity is what is left after a myriad of exclusions.
		The only way I can think of to deal with this problem is to continue the project of telling stories to each other that enable us to identify the rhetorical.

		The problem of efficiency is resolved in Hansen (1982) who derives a weighted least-squares method for combining information in the sample moments (analogous to GLS) and shows that the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of these estimates attains the Cramer-Rao lower bound under general conditions.
		The estimates b* are the generalized method of moments (GMM) for this example of instrumental variable regression with "too many instruments." We will also see in Chapter 25 that it is the two-stage least-squares estimator for a single over-identified linear structural equation which is assumed to be part of a complete system.
		As one can see from the diagonal elements, the estimated moments become increasingly unreliable as their order increases, which perhaps accounts for the considerable divergence of the sample moments from the theoretical population moments even for a sample of as many as 10,000.

		Economic theory often suggests joint (or simultaneous) hypotheses on econometric models; consequently, the problem of evaluating joint rejection probabilities arises frequently in econometrics and statistics.
		We first cast the multiple test problem into a unified statistical framework which: (i) serves to show how exact global size control is achieved through the MC test method, and (ii) yields a number of superior tests previously not considered.
		For this problem, we propose an exact variant of Kiefer and Salmon’s (1983) test, and an alternative combination method which exploits the well known Fisher-Pearson procedure.
