  2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(mathematics)

    The parity function maps a number to the number of 1's in its binary representation, modulo 2, so its value is zero for evil numbers and one for odious numbers. The Thue–Morse sequence, an infinite sequence of 0's and 1's, has a 0 in position i when i is evil, and a 1 in that position when i is odious. [23]

  3. Parity progression ratios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_progression_ratios

    A parity progression ratios (PPR) is a measure commonly used in demography to study fertility. The PPR is simply the proportion of women with a certain number of children who go on to have another child. Calculating the PPR, also known as , can be achieved by using the following formula:

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    Which operation is performed, ⁠ 3n + 1 / 2 ⁠ or ⁠ n / 2 ⁠, depends on the parity. The parity sequence is the same as the sequence of operations. Using this form for f(n), it can be shown that the parity sequences for two numbers m and n will agree in the first k terms if and only if m and n are equivalent modulo 2 k. This implies that ...

  5. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The numbers in the right column are the inversion numbers (sequence A034968 in the OEIS), which have the same parity as the permutation. In mathematics , when X is a finite set with at least two elements, the permutations of X (i.e. the bijective functions from X to X ) fall into two classes of equal size: the even permutations and the odd ...

  6. Thue–Morse sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue–Morse_sequence

    This graphic demonstrates the repeating and complementary makeup of the Thue–Morse sequence. In mathematics, the Thue–Morse or Prouhet–Thue–Morse sequence is the binary sequence (an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s) that can be obtained by starting with 0 and successively appending the Boolean complement of the sequence obtained thus far. [1]

  7. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The sequence produced by other choices of c can be written as a simple function of the sequence when c=1. [1]: 11 Specifically, if Y is the prototypical sequence defined by Y 0 = 0 and Y n+1 = aY n + 1 mod m, then a general sequence X n+1 = aX n + c mod m can be written as an affine function of Y:

  8. Sequential probability ratio test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_probability...

    The SPRT is currently the predominant method of classifying examinees in a variable-length computerized classification test (CCT) [citation needed].The two parameters are p 1 and p 2 are specified by determining a cutscore (threshold) for examinees on the proportion correct metric, and selecting a point above and below that cutscore.

  9. Blum Blum Shub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum_Blum_Shub

    Blum Blum Shub takes the form + =, where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q.At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from x n+1; the output is commonly either the bit parity of x n+1 or one or more of the least significant bits of x n+1.
