  2. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    The Levenshtein distance between two strings is no greater than the sum of their Levenshtein distances from a third string (triangle inequality). An example where the Levenshtein distance between two strings of the same length is strictly less than the Hamming distance is given by the pair "flaw" and "lawn".

  3. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports most object oriented programming (OOP) techniques. It allows polymorphism, not only within a class hierarchy but also by duck typing. Any object can be used for any type, and it will work so long as it has the proper methods and attributes. And everything in Python is an object, including classes, functions, numbers and modules.

  4. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    First when the user guesses a product will be close to 10 and is not sure whether it will be slightly less or slightly more than 10, the folded scales avoid the possibility of going off the scale. Second, by making the start π rather than the square root of 10, multiplying or dividing by π (as is common in science and engineering formulas) is ...

  5. Angular diameter distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter_distance

    In this model, objects at redshifts greater than about 1.5 appear larger on the sky with increasing redshift. This is related to the angular diameter distance, which is the distance an object is calculated to be at from θ {\displaystyle \theta } and x {\displaystyle x} , assuming the Universe is Euclidean .

  6. Jaccard index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index

    Jaccard distance is commonly used to calculate an n × n matrix for clustering and multidimensional scaling of n sample sets. This distance is a metric on the collection of all finite sets. [8] [9] [10] There is also a version of the Jaccard distance for measures, including probability measures.

  7. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    For a number written in scientific notation, this logarithmic rounding scale requires rounding up to the next power of ten when the multiplier is greater than the square root of ten (about 3.162). For example, the nearest order of magnitude for 1.7 × 10 8 is 8, whereas the nearest order of magnitude for 3.7 × 10 8 is 9.

  8. Nearest neighbor search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest_neighbor_search

    If this distance is greater than that returned in the earlier result, then clearly there is no need to search the other half-space. If there is such a need, then you must go through the trouble of solving the problem for the other half space, and then compare its result to the former result, and then return the proper result.

  9. Tree rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_rotation

    With this distance, the set of n-node binary trees becomes a metric space: the distance is symmetric, positive when given two different trees, and satisfies the triangle inequality. It is an open problem whether there exists a polynomial time algorithm for calculating rotation distance, though several variants of the rotation distance problem ...
