  2. Sentinel value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_value

    A set most significant bit in a stream of equally spaced data values, for example, a set 8th bit in a stream of 7-bit ASCII characters stored in 8-bit bytes indicating a special property (like inverse video, boldface or italics) or the end of the stream. A negative integer for indicating the end of a sequence of non-negative integers.

  3. pandas (software) - Wikipedia

    However, indices can use any NumPy data type, including floating point, timestamps, or strings. [4]: 112 Pandas' syntax for mapping index values to relevant data is the same syntax Python uses to map dictionary keys to values. For example, if s is a Series, s['a'] will return the data point at index a. Unlike dictionary keys, index values are ...

  4. NaN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN

    For example, the calculation x 0 may produce the result 1, even where x is NaN, so checking only the final result would obscure the fact that a calculation before the x 0 resulted in a NaN. In general, then, a later test for a set invalid flag is needed to detect all cases where NaNs are introduced [ 3 ] (see Function definition below for ...

  5. Comma-separated values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

    CSV is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values (many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow other separators to be used; for example, the use of a "Sep=^" row as the first row in the *.csv file will cause Excel to open the file expecting caret "^" to be the separator instead of comma ","). Simple CSV implementations ...

    Nanmean (mean ignoring NaN values, also known as "nil" or "null") Stddev; Formally, an aggregate function takes as input a set, a multiset (bag), or a list from some input domain I and outputs an element of an output domain O. [1] The input and output domains may be the same, such as for SUM, or may be different, such as for COUNT.

  8. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    Note that besides integer (or fixed-point) arithmetics, examples of integer operation include data movement (A to B) or value testing (If A = B, then C). That's why MIPS as a performance benchmark is adequate when a computer is used in database queries, word processing, spreadsheets, or to run multiple virtual operating systems.

  9. Delta encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_encoding

    A delta can be defined in 2 ways, symmetric delta and directed delta.A symmetric delta can be expressed as (,) = (),where and represent two versions.. A directed delta, also called a change, is a sequence of (elementary) change operations which, when applied to one version , yields another version (note the correspondence to transaction logs in databases).
