Explore: Asymptotics

In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis, also known as asymptotics, is a method of describing limiting behavior. As an illustration, suppose that

an asymptotic curve is a curve always tangent to an asymptotic direction of the surface (where they exist). It is sometimes called an asymptotic line

as n → ∞. In asymptotic theory, the standard approach is n → ∞. For some statistical models, slightly different approaches of asymptotics may be used.

In mathematics and statistics, an asymptotic distribution is a probability distribution that is in a sense the limiting distribution of a sequence of distributions

field theory, asymptotic freedom is a property of some gauge theories that causes interactions between particles to become asymptotically weaker as the

In computational complexity theory, asymptotic computational complexity is the use of asymptotic analysis for the estimation of computational complexity

The Plancherel–Rotach asymptotics are asymptotic results for orthogonal polynomials. They are named after the Swiss mathematicians Michel Plancherel and

maximum likelihood estimators are asymptotically normal under fairly weak regularity conditions — see the asymptotics section of the maximum likelihood
