  2. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    A common solution is to initially compute the sine of many evenly distributed values, and then to find the sine of x we choose the sine of the value closest to x through array indexing operation. This will be close to the correct value because sine is a continuous function with a bounded rate of change. [10]: 6 For example: [11]: 545–548

  3. Missing data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_data

    Missing not at random (MNAR) (also known as nonignorable nonresponse) is data that is neither MAR nor MCAR (i.e. the value of the variable that's missing is related to the reason it's missing). [5] To extend the previous example, this would occur if men failed to fill in a depression survey because of their level of depression.

  4. Return on investment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_on_investment

    Return on investment (ROI) or return on costs (ROC) is the ratio between net income (over a period) and investment (costs resulting from an investment of some resources at a point in time). A high ROI means the investment's gains compare favorably to its cost.

  5. Return loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_loss

    Return loss is a measure of how well devices or lines are matched. A match is good if the return loss is high. A high return loss is desirable and results in a lower insertion loss. From a certain perspective 'Return Loss' is a misnomer. The usual function of a transmission line is to convey power from a source to a load with minimal loss.

  6. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    recursive step: otherwise, check value of current node, return true if match, otherwise recurse on children; In short-circuiting, this is instead: check value of current node, return true if match, otherwise, on children, if not Null, then recurse. In terms of the standard steps, this moves the base case check before the recursive step ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology

    Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way. [1] The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, [2] [3] including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_formula

    In the United States, the Hand formula, also known as the Hand rule, calculus of negligence, or BPL formula, is a conceptual formula created by Judge Learned Hand which describes a process for determining whether a legal duty of care has been breached (see negligence). The original description of the calculus was in United States v.

    Six Sigma (6σ) is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement.It was introduced by American engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. [1] [2]Six Sigma strategies seek to improve manufacturing quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes.
