  2. Symplectic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_group

    Rather, it is isomorphic to a subgroup of Sp(2n, C), and so does preserve a complex symplectic form in a vector space of twice the dimension. As explained below, the Lie algebra of Sp(n) is the compact real form of the complex symplectic Lie algebra sp(2n, C). Sp(n) is a real Lie group with (real) dimension n(2n + 1). It is compact and simply ...

    However, the gamma function, unlike the factorial, is more broadly defined for all complex numbers other than non-positive integers; nevertheless, Stirling's formula may still be applied.

  4. Probability of superiority - Wikipedia

    In other words, the correlation is the difference between the common language effect size and its complement. For example, if the common language effect size is 60%, then the rank-biserial r equals 60% minus 40%, or r = 0.20. The Kerby formula is directional, with positive values indicating that the results support the hypothesis.

    (To calculate it, first diagonalize , change into that frame, then use the fact that the characteristic function of the sum of independent variables is the product of their characteristic functions.) For X T Q X {\displaystyle X^{T}QX} and X T Q ′ X {\displaystyle X^{T}Q'X} to be equal, their characteristic functions must be equal, so Q , Q ...

    Sigma function: Sums of powers of divisors of a given natural number. Euler's totient function: Number of numbers coprime to (and not bigger than) a given one. Prime-counting function: Number of primes less than or equal to a given number. Partition function: Order-independent count of ways to write a given positive integer as a sum of positive ...

    Downward-lexicographic dominance, denoted , means that has a larger probability than of returning the best outcome, or both and have the same probability to return the best outcome but has a larger probability than of returning the second-best best outcome, etc. Upward-lexicographic dominance is defined analogously based on the probability to ...

    As there is zero X n+1 or X −1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle, surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.

    Floor function: if x is a real number, ⌊ ⌋ is the greatest integer that is not greater than x. ⌈ ⌉ Ceiling function: if x is a real number, ⌈ ⌉ is the lowest integer that is not lesser than x. ⌊ ⌉
