Mount Azuma
is an active stratovolcano in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. It has a conical-shaped crater and as the name "Kofuji" (small Mount Fuji) suggests, Mount Azuma is similar in shape to Mount Fuji. Mount Azuma's appealing symmetrical crater and the nearby fumarolic area with its many onsen have made it a popular tourist destination. The Bandai-Azuma Skyline passes just below the crater, allowing visitors to drive to within walking distance of the crater and other various hiking trails on the mountain. There is also a visitor center along the roadway near the crater, where a collection of eateries, facilities, a parking lot, and a stop for buses from Fukushima Station are located. The Azuma volcanic group contains several volcanic lakes, including Goshiki-numa , is a cluster of five volcanic lakes situated at the foot of Mount Bandai in the center of the lake district of the Bandai Highland ( 磐梯高原, Bandai-kōgen), Kitashiobara, Fukushima, Japan.

Azuma's Inequality
In probability theory, the Azuma–Hoeffding inequality (named after Kazuoki Azuma and Wassily Hoeffding) gives a concentration result for the values of martingales that have bounded differences. Suppose \ is a martingale (or super-martingale) and :, X_k - X_, \leq c_k, \, almost surely. Then for all positive integers ''N'' and all positive reals ''\epsilon'', :\text(X_N - X_0 \geq \epsilon) \leq \exp\left ( \right). And symmetrically (when ''X''''k'' is a sub-martingale): :\text(X_N - X_0 \leq -\epsilon) \leq \exp\left ( \right). If ''X'' is a martingale, using both inequalities above and applying the union bound allows one to obtain a two-sided bound: :\text(, X_N - X_0, \geq \epsilon) \leq 2\exp\left ( \right). Proof The proof shares similar idea of the proof for the general form of Azuma's inequality listed below. Actually, this can be viewed as a direct corollary of the general form of Azuma's inequality.

The Class 800 was developed and produced, alongside an electric-only variant, as part of the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) to procure replacements for the InterCity 125 and InterCity 225 fleets of high speed trains. The trains were manufactured by Hitachi between 2014 and 2018, being assembled at Hitachi's Hitachi Newton Aycliffe, Newton Aycliffe Manufacturing Facility using bodyshells shipped from the company's Kasado Works in Japan.
