Talk:Ensemble average

Untitled

The intro has several links for the same word (ensemble), and they go different places. Kinda confusing. Ojcit 20:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Confirmed stub status and changed to high importance Useful ideas might be:

  • addition of a description or link to angle bracket notation for ensemble averaging
  • an example of an ensemble averaged parameter
  • applications of ensemble averages in statistical mechanics, eg pair correlation functions

Way too restrictive a meaning

I use the ensemble mean for describing turbulent flow and it has applications in quantum mechanics. It applies for any time series involving random numbers (eg. in Box Jenkins analysis). Treating it as a subtopic of statistical mechanics is way too restrictive.Mollwollfumble (talk) 10:34, 23 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have to agree that the current article is too restrictive. We just encountered ensemble averages in a queueing theory class (Computer Science). A more broad treatment of the topic would be better, and then specific applications could be delved into. I would make the edits myself, but I am just learning the topic, and other people should probably not be counting on my knowledge. Judging from this source, a general definition would not be hard to tease out. Doctorsher (talk) 21:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

For someone coming in from the cold, getting hit with a huge amount

of math is worthless.

Would you all please learn to speak English?

How does an ensemble differ from a set of random variables?

At least give a high school introduction!
