  2. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  3. Consistent heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_heuristic

    Comparison of an admissible but inconsistent and a consistent heuristic evaluation function. Consistent heuristics are called monotone because the estimated final cost of a partial solution, () = + is monotonically non-decreasing along any path, where () = = (,) is the cost of the best path from start node to .

  4. Consistency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_(statistics)

    A consistent estimator is one for which, when the estimate is considered as a random variable indexed by the number n of items in the data set, as n increases the estimates converge in probability to the value that the estimator is designed to estimate.

  5. Consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency

    Such a theory is consistent if and only if it does not prove a particular sentence, called the Gödel sentence of the theory, which is a formalized statement of the claim that the theory is indeed consistent. Thus the consistency of a sufficiently strong, recursively enumerable, consistent theory of arithmetic can never be proven in that system ...

  6. Stationary process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_process

    Then {} is a stationary time series, for which realisations consist of a series of constant values, with a different constant value for each realisation. A law of large numbers does not apply on this case, as the limiting value of an average from a single realisation takes the random value determined by Y {\displaystyle Y} , rather than taking ...

  7. Size consistency and size extensivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_consistency_and_size...

    In quantum chemistry, size consistency and size extensivity are concepts relating to how the behaviour of quantum-chemistry calculations changes with the system size. Size consistency (or strict separability) is a property that guarantees the consistency of the energy behaviour when interaction between the involved molecular subsystems is nullified (for example, by distance).

  8. Consistent estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_estimator

    This sequence is consistent: the estimators are getting more and more concentrated near the true value θ 0; at the same time, these estimators are biased. The limiting distribution of the sequence is a degenerate random variable which equals θ 0 with probability 1.

  9. Numerical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_stability

    The Lax equivalence theorem states that an algorithm converges if it is consistent and stable (in this sense). Stability is sometimes achieved by including numerical diffusion. Numerical diffusion is a mathematical term which ensures that roundoff and other errors in the calculation get spread out and do not add up to cause the calculation to ...
