  2. Index of coincidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_coincidence

    There are a total of N(N − 1) letter pairs in the entire text, and 1/c is the probability of a match for each pair, assuming a uniform random distribution of the characters (the "null model"; see below). Thus, this formula gives the ratio of the total number of coincidences observed to the total number of coincidences that one would expect ...

  3. Okapi BM25 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25

    In information retrieval, Okapi BM25 (BM is an abbreviation of best matching) is a ranking function used by search engines to estimate the relevance of documents to a given search query. It is based on the probabilistic retrieval framework developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Stephen E. Robertson , Karen Spärck Jones , and others.

  4. Index-matching material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index-matching_material

    Typical oils used have an index of refraction around 1.515. [2] An oil immersion objective is an objective lens specially designed to be used in this way. The index of the oil is typically chosen to match the index of the microscope lens glass, and of the cover slip. For more details, see the main article, oil immersion.

    The Marshall-Edgeworth index, credited to Marshall (1887) and Edgeworth (1925), [11] is a weighted relative of current period to base period sets of prices. This index uses the arithmetic average of the current and based period quantities for weighting. It is considered a pseudo-superlative formula and is symmetric. [12]

    To find ∂F/∂A ij consider that on the right hand side of Laplace's formula, the index i can be chosen at will. (In order to optimize calculations: Any other choice would eventually yield the same result, but it could be much harder). In particular, it can be chosen to match the first index of ∂ / ∂A ij:

  7. Dice-Sørensen coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice-Sørensen_coefficient

    The index is known by several other names, especially Sørensen–Dice index, [3] Sørensen index and Dice's coefficient. Other variations include the "similarity coefficient" or "index", such as Dice similarity coefficient ( DSC ).

  8. Jaccard index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index

    The Jaccard index is a statistic used for gauging the similarity and diversity of sample sets. It is defined in general taking the ratio of two sizes (areas or volumes), the intersection size divided by the union size, also called intersection over union (IoU).

  9. LZ77 and LZ78 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78

    The algorithm is to initialize last matching index = 0 and next available index = 1 and then, for each token of the input stream, the dictionary searched for a match: {last matching index, token}. If a match is found, then last matching index is set to the index of the matching entry, nothing is output, and last matching index is left ...
