  2. Password strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

    The minimum number of bits of entropy needed for a password depends on the threat model for the given application. If key stretching is not used, passwords with more entropy are needed. RFC 4086, "Randomness Requirements for Security", published June 2005, presents some example threat models and how to calculate the entropy desired for each one ...

  3. Generator matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_matrix

    A generator matrix for a linear [,,]-code has format , where n is the length of a codeword, k is the number of information bits (the dimension of C as a vector subspace), d is the minimum distance of the code, and q is size of the finite field, that is, the number of symbols in the alphabet (thus, q = 2 indicates a binary code, etc.).

  4. Derangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

    In other words, a derangement is a permutation that has no fixed points. The number of derangements of a set of size n is known as the subfactorial of n or the n th derangement number or n th de Montmort number (after Pierre Remond de Montmort). Notations for subfactorials in common use include !n, D n, d n, or n¡ . [a] [1] [2]

  5. Zipf's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law

    A plot of the frequency of each word as a function of its frequency rank for two English language texts: Culpeper's Complete Herbal (1652) and H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds (1898) in a log-log scale. The dotted line is the ideal law .

  6. Systematic sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_sampling

    We then generate a random start from a uniform distribution between 0 and 1, and move along the number line in steps of 1. Example: We have a population of 5 units (A to E). We want to give unit A a 20% probability of selection, unit B a 40% probability, and so on up to unit E (100%).

  7. Psychological Capital Questionnaire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_Capital...

    All PCQ scales are scored using a 6-point Likert scale. Each scale measures its own unique dimension of PsyCap. An overall PsyCap score is calculated by taking the mean of all the items in the PCQ. Scales include reverse-scored items. The 6-point Likert scale for all PCQ scales is as follows: Strongly Disagree; Disagree; Somewhat Disagree ...

  8. Parity-check matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity-check_matrix

    Formally, a parity check matrix H of a linear code C is a generator matrix of the dual code, C ⊥.This means that a codeword c is in C if and only if the matrix-vector product Hc ⊤ = 0 (some authors [1] would write this in an equivalent form, cH ⊤ = 0.)

  9. Glossary of quantum computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_quantum_computing

    is a protocol for predicting functions of a quantum state using only a logarithmic number of measurements. [5] Given an unknown state , a tomographically complete set of gates (e.g Clifford gates), a set of observables {} and a quantum channel (defined by randomly sampling from , applying it to and measuring the resulting state); predict the ...
