  2. Frequency illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

    More relevant to frequency estimations but still a possible cause of the frequency illusion, the split-category effect is the phenomenon in which, when events are split into smaller subcategories, this can increase the predicted frequency of occurrence. [10] An example of this is asking a person to predict the number of dogs in a country or ...

  3. Aliasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing

    That paper includes an example of frequency aliasing dating back to 1922. The first published use of the term "aliasing" in this context is due to Blackman and Tukey in 1958. [ 5 ] In their preface to the Dover reprint [ 6 ] of this paper, they point out that the idea of aliasing had been illustrated graphically by Stumpf [ 7 ] ten years prior.

  4. Availability heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability_heuristic

    Many researchers have attempted to identify the psychological process which creates the availability heuristic. Tversky and Kahneman argue that the number of examples recalled from memory is used to infer the frequency with which such instances occur. In an experiment to test this explanation, participants listened to lists of names containing ei

  5. Stroboscopic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroboscopic_effect

    For example, a factory that is lit from a single-phase supply with basic lighting will have a flicker of 100 or 120 Hz (depending on country, 50 Hz x 2 in Europe, 60 Hz x 2 in US, double the nominal frequency), thus any machinery rotating at multiples of 50 or 60 Hz (3000–3600rpm) may appear to not be turning, increasing the risk of injury to ...

  6. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    The shutter behavior of the camera influences aliasing, as the overall shape of the exposure over time determines the band-limiting of the system before sampling, an important factor in aliasing. A temporal anti-aliasing filter can be applied to a camera to achieve better band-limiting and reduce the wagon-wheel effect. [2]

  7. Range ambiguity resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_ambiguity_resolution

    Range aliasing occurs when reflections arrive from distances that exceed the distance between transmit pulses at a specific pulse repetition frequency (PRF).. Range ambiguity resolution is required to obtain the true range when the measurements are made using a system where the following inequality is true.

  8. Aliasing (factorial experiments) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing_(factorial...

    Aliasing is an automatic and unavoidable result of observing such a fraction. [3] [4] The aliasing properties of a design are often summarized by giving its resolution. This measures the degree to which the design avoids aliasing between main effects and important interactions. [5]

  9. Bandlimiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandlimiting

    Real world signals are not strictly bandlimited, and signals of interest typically have unwanted energy outside of the band of interest. Because of this, sampling functions and digital signal processing functions which change sample rates usually require bandlimiting filters to control the amount of aliasing distortion.
