  2. 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.

  3. List of arbitrary-precision arithmetic software - Wikipedia

    dc: "Desktop Calculator" arbitrary-precision RPN calculator that comes standard on most Unix-like systems. KCalc, Linux based scientific calculator; Maxima: a computer algebra system which bignum integers are directly inherited from its implementation language Common Lisp. In addition, it supports arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers ...

  4. Quasi-Monte Carlo method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Monte_Carlo_method

    We sample s-dimensional random vector U and mix it with {x 1, ..., x N}. In detail, for each x j, create = + and use the sequence () instead of (). If we have R replications for Monte Carlo, sample s-dimensional random vector U for each replication. Randomization allows to give an estimate of the variance while still using quasi-random sequences.

  5. Bessel's correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel's_correction

    In estimating the population variance from a sample when the population mean is unknown, the uncorrected sample variance is the mean of the squares of deviations of sample values from the sample mean (i.e., using a multiplicative factor 1/n). In this case, the sample variance is a biased estimator of the population variance. Multiplying the ...

  6. Qualitative variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_variation

    A i is the number of data type A at sample site i, B i is the number of data type B at sample site i, K is the number of sites sampled and || is the absolute value. This index is probably better known as the index of dissimilarity (D). [44] It is closely related to the Gini index. This index is biased as its expectation under a uniform ...

  7. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    This calculator program has accepted input in infix notation, and returned the answer , ¯. Here the comma is a decimal separator. Here the comma is a decimal separator. Infix notation is a method similar to immediate execution with AESH and/or AESP, but unary operations are input into the calculator in the same order as they are written on paper.

  8. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    If the biased sample variance (the second central moment of the sample, which is a downward-biased estimate of the population variance) is used to compute an estimate of the population's standard deviation, the result is = = (¯).

  9. Total variation distance of probability measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_variation_distance...

    The total variation distance (or half the norm) arises as the optimal transportation cost, when the cost function is (,) =, that is, ‖ ‖ = (,) = {(): =, =} = ⁡ [], where the expectation is taken with respect to the probability measure on the space where (,) lives, and the infimum is taken over all such with marginals and , respectively.
