  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 ...

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

    The cumulative frequency is the total of the absolute frequencies of all events at or below a certain point in an ordered list of events. [ 1 ] : 17–19 The relative frequency (or empirical probability ) of an event is the absolute frequency normalized by the total number of events:

Observation that in many real-life datasets, the leading digit is likely to be small For the unrelated adage, see Benford's law of controversy. The distribution of first digits, according to Benford's law. Each bar represents a digit, and the height of the bar is the percentage of ...

  5. Interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation

    The Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula can be used if the number of data points is infinite or if the function to be interpolated has compact support. Sometimes, we know not only the value of the function that we want to interpolate, at some points, but also its derivative. This leads to Hermite interpolation problems.

  6. Low-discrepancy sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-discrepancy_sequence

    In mathematics, a low-discrepancy sequence is a sequence with the property that for all values of , its subsequence , …, has a low discrepancy.. Roughly speaking, the discrepancy of a sequence is low if the proportion of points in the sequence falling into an arbitrary set B is close to proportional to the measure of B, as would happen on average (but not for particular samples) in the case ...

  7. Sampling (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing)

    The image sampling frequency is the repetition rate of the sensor integration period. Since the integration period may be significantly shorter than the time between repetitions, the sampling frequency can be different from the inverse of the sample time: 50 Hz – PAL video; 60 / 1.001 Hz ~= 59.94 Hz – NTSC video

    The tests are the monobit test (equal numbers of ones and zeros in the sequence), poker test (a special instance of the chi-squared test), runs test (counts the frequency of runs of various lengths), longruns test (checks whether there exists any run of length 34 or greater in 20 000 bits of the sequence)—both from BSI [22] and NIST, [23] and ...

  9. Empirical distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_distribution...

    This cumulative distribution function is a step function that jumps up by 1/n at each of the n data points. Its value at any specified value of the measured variable is the fraction of observations of the measured variable that are less than or equal to the specified value.
