  2. MEX file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEX_file

    A MEX file is a type of computer file that provides an interface between MATLAB or Octave and functions written in C, C++ or Fortran.It stands for "MATLAB executable". When compiled, MEX files are dynamically loaded and allow external functions to be invoked from within MATLAB or Octave as if they were built-in functions.

  3. Taylor diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram

    The sample Taylor diagram shown in Figure 1 [16] provides a summary of the relative skill with which several global climate models simulate the spatial pattern of annual mean precipitation. Eight models, each represented by a different letter on the diagram, are compared, and the distance between each model and the point labeled “observed ...

  4. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    In all these formulae (h, k) are the center coordinates of the hyperbola, a is the length of the semi-major axis, and b is the length of the semi-minor axis. Note that in the rational forms of these formulae, the points ( −a , 0) and (0 , −a ) , respectively, are not represented by a real value of t , but are the limit of x and y as t tends ...

  5. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    (See figure at right) x −x: Unique global maximum over the positive real numbers at x = 1/e. x 3 /3 − x: First derivative x 2 − 1 and second derivative 2x. Setting the first derivative to 0 and solving for x gives stationary points at −1 and +1. From the sign of the second derivative, we can see that −1 is a local maximum and +1 is a ...

  6. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulations are realized by running computer programs that can be either small, running almost instantly on small devices, or large-scale programs that run for hours or days on network-based groups of computers. The scale of events being simulated by computer simulations has far exceeded anything possible (or perhaps even imaginable ...

  7. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    The monodromy of a hypergeometric equation describes how fundamental solutions change when analytically continued around paths in the z plane that return to the same point. That is, when the path winds around a singularity of 2 F 1 , the value of the solutions at the endpoint will differ from the starting point.

  8. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    Specifically, the interpretation of β j is the expected change in y for a one-unit change in x j when the other covariates are held fixed—that is, the expected value of the partial derivative of y with respect to x j. This is sometimes called the unique effect of x j on y.

    Box-plot with whiskers from minimum to maximum Figure 3. Same box-plot with whiskers drawn within the 1.5 IQR value Same box-plot with whiskers drawn within the 1.5 IQR value A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the dataset based on the five-number summary : the minimum, the maximum, the sample median, and the first and third quartiles.
