Russian term or phrase: матожидание
From an article in a scientific journal about using a pulse oximeter in determining arterial blood flow. But this part involves higher mathematics as well as medicine.

Describing a term in an equation. it says:

μ(k) - случайная последовательность помехи от артефакта с матожиданием mμ с полосой частот οτ 2 Гц и выше, ...

If I had to guess, I would say мат might be short for математический, but that would only be a guess.

As far as I can judge from a piece of your context, in this case, mathematical or statistical expectation is the best choice.
