  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Precision and recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall

    In a classification task, the precision for a class is the number of true positives (i.e. the number of items correctly labelled as belonging to the positive class) divided by the total number of elements labelled as belonging to the positive class (i.e. the sum of true positives and false positives, which are items incorrectly labelled as belonging to the class).

  4. Miller twist rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_twist_rule

    Miller twist rule is a mathematical formula derived by American physical chemist and historian of science Donald G. Miller (1927-2012) to determine the rate of twist to apply to a given bullet to provide optimum stability using a rifled barrel. [1]

  5. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    This approximate formula is for moderate to large sample sizes; the reference gives the exact formulas for any sample size, and can be applied to heavily autocorrelated time series like Wall Street stock quotes. Moreover, this formula works for positive and negative ρ alike. [12] See also unbiased estimation of standard deviation for more ...

  6. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    This formula is based on the linear characteristics of the gradient of and therefore it is a good estimation for the standard deviation of as long as ,,, … are small enough. Specifically, the linear approximation of f {\displaystyle f} has to be close to f {\displaystyle f} inside a neighbourhood of radius s x , s y , s z , … {\displaystyle ...

  7. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.

  8. Formula editor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_editor

    A formula editor is a computer program that is used to typeset mathematical formulas and mathematical expressions. Formula editors typically serve two purposes: They allow word processing and publication of technical content either for print publication, or to generate raster images for web pages or screen presentations.

    The visual editor shows a button that allows to choose one of three offered modes to display a formula. There are three methods for displaying formulas in Wikipedia: raw HTML, HTML with math templates (abbreviated here as {}), and a subset of LaTeX implemented with the HTML markup < math ></ math > (referred to as LaTeX in this article
