  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  4. Truncation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation_(statistics)

    Truncation can be applied to any probability distribution.This will usually lead to a new distribution, not one within the same family. Thus, if a random variable X has F(x) as its distribution function, the new random variable Y defined as having the distribution of X truncated to the semi-open interval (a, b] has the distribution function

  5. ITP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITP_Method

    In numerical analysis, the ITP method (Interpolate Truncate and Project method) is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method [1] while retaining the optimal [2] worst-case performance of the bisection method. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function.Given a number + to be truncated and , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is

  7. Misleading graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misleading_graph

    While truncated graphs can be used to overdraw differences or to save space, their use is often discouraged. Commercial software such as MS Excel will tend to truncate graphs by default if the values are all within a narrow range, as in this example. To show relative differences in values over time, an index chart can be used.

  8. Truncated mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_mean

    A truncated mean or trimmed mean is a statistical measure of central tendency, much like the mean and median.It involves the calculation of the mean after discarding given parts of a probability distribution or sample at the high and low end, and typically discarding an equal amount of both.

  9. Truncated distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_distribution

    In statistics, a truncated distribution is a conditional distribution that results from restricting the domain of some other probability distribution.Truncated distributions arise in practical statistics in cases where the ability to record, or even to know about, occurrences is limited to values which lie above or below a given threshold or within a specified range.
