  2. Time formatting and storage bugs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_formatting_and...

    On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...

  3. Truncation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, truncation results in values that are limited above or below, resulting in a truncated sample. [1] A random variable y {\displaystyle y} is said to be truncated from below if, for some threshold value c {\displaystyle c} , the exact value of y {\displaystyle y} is known for all cases y > c {\displaystyle y>c} , but unknown for ...

  4. Truncated distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_distribution

    In statistics, a truncated distribution is a conditional distribution that results from restricting the domain of some other probability distribution.Truncated distributions arise in practical statistics in cases where the ability to record, or even to know about, occurrences is limited to values which lie above or below a given threshold or within a specified range.

  5. Truncated normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_normal_distribution

    Truncated normals with fixed support form an exponential family. Nielsen [3] reported closed-form formula for calculating the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the Bhattacharyya distance between two truncated normal distributions with the support of the first distribution nested into the support of the second distribution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name

    As an example of a relational database, in Microsoft SQL Server the fully qualified name of an object is the one that specifies all four parts: server_name.[database_name].[schema_name].object_name. [ 7 ]

    For example, sometimes instead of rounding off a numerical value obtained from a calculation, some of the digits might just be removed i.e. truncated See also [ edit ]

  8. Rejection sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejection_sampling

    The method essentially involves successively determining an envelope of straight-line segments that approximates the logarithm better and better while still remaining above the curve, starting with a fixed number of segments (possibly just a single tangent line). Sampling from a truncated exponential random variable is straightforward.

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function.Given a number + to be truncated and , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is
