Maximum likelihood estimators of the Cauchy distribution cannot be written in closed form since they are given as the roots of higher-degree polynomials. Please see the link for details.

Which distribution do not have mean?

The Cauchy or Cauchy-Lorentz distribution. The ratio of two Normal random variables has a C-L distribution.


What is a cauchy sequence?

(xn) is Cauchy when abs(xn-xm) tends to 0 as m,n tend to infinity.

What are the applications of cauchy-riemann equations in engineering?

Well, cauchy-riemann differential equation is a part of complex variables and in real-life applications such as engineering, it can be used in determining the flow of fluids, such as the flow around the pipe. In fluid mechanics, the cauchy-riemann equations are decribed by two complex variables, i.e. u and v, and if these two variables satisfy the equations in an open subset of R2, then the vector field can be asserted from the two cauchy-riemann equations, ux = vy (1) uy = - vx (2) This I think can help interpreting the potential flow (Wikipedia) in two dimensions using the cauchy-riemann equations. In fluid mechanics, the potential flow can be analyzed using the cauchy-riemann equations.


Cauchy problem for first order partial differential equation?

There is a theorem called the Cauchy-Kowalevski theoremwhich deals with the existence of solutions to a system of mdifferential equation in n dimensions when the coefficients are analytic functions. I am guessing this is what you are asking about. A special case of this theorem was proved by Cauchy alone.The theorem talks about the local existence of a solution.Since this is a complicated topic, I will provide a link.
