Talk:Hat notation

Comments
There isn't a 'hat operator' - it is just an available notation. Charles Matthews 22:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * So do you think this article should be deleted? I don't know enough but the term 'hat operator' doesn't seem to be widely used. –Pomte 03:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * There is a 'top-hat operator' in imaging theory: see top-hat filter. But 'hat' is so widely used as a notation that it seems odd to give just one example.  Richard Pinch (talk) 06:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Rename article to "Hat notation"
The article seems to be about use of the 'hat' in notation, not about any operator. Perhaps the article should be renamed?

Also I came across the use of the hat notation in my control theory course, where it was used in the context of the Kalman filter to indicate the estimated state variable x, which seems to agree in principle with its use in statistics, perhaps worthy of mention?

Logic
Something should be said about the symbol in symbolic logic. 2600:1008:B162:400A:6C37:4974:59C8:F16E (talk) 18:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
