ergodicity

• “As anyone with experience in Monte Carlo method knows, ergodicity is quite more important than randomness to get meaningful results.”

  TSA doesn't understand what "random" means - Boing Boing

• “In simple terms, "ergodicity" means that no matter what happens in the world, everything will reach a point where things stop changing, which, in economics, is the prized equilibrium.”

• “What it is lacking is not randomness, but ergodicity.”

• “There is the problem that strict ergodicity is not true of realistic systems.”

  Philosophy of Statistical Mechanics

• “(KAM) theorem shows that more realistic models (say of molecules interacting by means of "soft" potentials) are likely not to obey ergodicity in a strict sense.”

  Philosophy of Statistical Mechanics

• “Because of singularities, classical GR evades some of the standard properties of statistical systems, such as ergodicity.”

  Against Bounces

• “So, in this context, I think it makes no difference if we speak about ergodicity or stationarity if math gurus disagree, cases of singular distributions etc, pl. tell it now.”

• “Of course I understand your point about ergodicity.”

  Paul Linsay's Poisson Fit « Climate Audit

• “He has placed an assumption of ergodicity on the set of proxies, which cannot hold.”
