  2. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...

  3. N50, L50, and related statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N50,_L50,_and_related...

    The size of assembly B is 305 kbp, the N50 contig length drops to 50 kbp because 80 + 70 + 50 is greater than 50% of 305, and the L50 contig count is 3 contigs. This example illustrates that one can sometimes increase the N50 length simply by removing some of the shortest contigs or scaffolds from an assembly.

  4. True-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    Usually, the ambiguous solution is easily identified. For example, if P is a vehicle, any motion toward or away from the baseline will be opposite that of the ambiguous solution; thus, a crude measurement of vehicle heading is sufficient. A second example: surveyors are well aware of which side of the baseline that P lies. A third example: in ...

  6. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    For example, the Levenshtein distance of all possible suffixes might be stored in an array , where [] [] is the distance between the last characters of string s and the last characters of string t. The table is easy to construct one row at a time starting with row 0.

  7. Linear trend estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_trend_estimation

    For example, detailed notes on the meaning of linear time trends in the regression model are given in Cameron (2005); [1] Granger, Engle, and many other econometricians have written on stationarity, unit root testing, co-integration, and related issues (a summary of some of the works in this area can be found in an information paper [2] by the ...

  8. Help:Labeled section transclusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Labeled_section_trans...

    The first method identifies the section by using the page name and a heading (the section title as it appears in the source page). The second method allows the selection of an arbitrary "section" for transclusion, but this approach requires adding specific markup to label the desired section beforehand.

  9. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section - Wikipedia

    A good example of this is the List of Benet Academy alumni. (See also Format of the first sentence below.) When the page title is used as the subject of the first sentence, it may appear in a slightly different form, and it may include variations, including plural forms (particularly if they are unusual or confusing) or synonyms .
