  2. Pairwise summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_summation

    Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).

  3. Algorithms for calculating variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating...

    This algorithm can easily be adapted to compute the variance of a finite population: simply divide by n instead of n − 1 on the last line.. Because SumSq and (Sum×Sum)/n can be very similar numbers, cancellation can lead to the precision of the result to be much less than the inherent precision of the floating-point arithmetic used to perform the computation.

  4. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.

  5. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    The summation of an explicit sequence is denoted as a succession of additions. For example, summation of [1, 2, 4, 2] is denoted 1 + 2 + 4 + 2, and results in 9, that is, 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 9. Because addition is associative and commutative, there is no need for parentheses, and the result is the same irrespective of the order of the summands ...

  6. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    var sum = 0.0 // A running compensation for lost low-order bits. var c = 0.0 // The array input has elements indexed for i = 1 to input.length do // c is zero the first time around. var y = input[i] + c // sum + c is an approximation to the exact sum.

  7. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    In mathematics, summation by parts transforms the summation of products of sequences into other summations, often simplifying the computation or (especially) estimation of certain types of sums. It is also called Abel's lemma or Abel transformation, named after Niels Henrik Abel who introduced it in 1826. [1]

  8. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    The target sum T in the SSP instance is set to an integer with "1" in the least-significant bit of every zone, that is, (2 0 +2 1 +...+2 3n-1). If the 3DM instance has a perfect matching, then summing the corresponding integers in the SSP instance yields exactly T. Conversely, if the SSP instance has a subset with sum exactly T, then, since the ...

  9. Average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

    If exactly one value is left, it is the median; if two values, the median is the arithmetic mean of these two. This method takes the list 1, 7, 3, 13 and orders it to read 1, 3, 7, 13. Then the 1 and 13 are removed to obtain the list 3, 7. Since there are two elements in this remaining list, the median is their arithmetic mean, (3 + 7)/2 = 5.
