  2. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    The principle can be viewed as an example of the sieve method extensively used in number theory and is sometimes referred to as the sieve formula. [ 4 ] As finite probabilities are computed as counts relative to the cardinality of the probability space , the formulas for the principle of inclusion–exclusion remain valid when the cardinalities ...

  3. Double counting (proof technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_counting_(proof...

    This is a simple example of double counting, often used when teaching multiplication to young children. In this context, multiplication of natural numbers is introduced as repeated addition, and is then shown to be commutative by counting, in two different ways, a number of items arranged in a rectangular grid.

  4. Count–min sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count–min_sketch

    In computing, the count–min sketch (CM sketch) is a probabilistic data structure that serves as a frequency table of events in a stream of data.It uses hash functions to map events to frequencies, but unlike a hash table uses only sub-linear space, at the expense of overcounting some events due to collisions.

  5. Count data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_data

    Graphical examination of count data may be aided by the use of data transformations chosen to have the property of stabilising the sample variance. In particular, the square root transformation might be used when data can be approximated by a Poisson distribution (although other transformation have modestly improved properties), while an inverse sine transformation is available when a binomial ...

  6. Counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...

  7. Count sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Sketch

    Count sketch is a type of dimensionality reduction that is particularly efficient in statistics, machine learning and algorithms. [1] [2] It was invented by Moses Charikar, Kevin Chen and Martin Farach-Colton [3] in an effort to speed up the AMS Sketch by Alon, Matias and Szegedy for approximating the frequency moments of streams [4] (these calculations require counting of the number of ...

  8. Meagre set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meagre_set

    For example, in the interval [,] fat Cantor sets, like the Smith–Volterra–Cantor set, are closed nowhere dense and they can be constructed with a measure arbitrarily close to The union of a countable number of such sets with measure approaching 1 {\displaystyle 1} gives a meagre subset of [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle [0,1]} with measure 1 ...

  9. First-order logic - Wikipedia

    Example requires a quantifier over predicates, which cannot be implemented in single-sorted first-order logic: Zj → ∃X(Xj∧Xp). Quantification over properties Santa Claus has all the attributes of a sadist. Example requires quantifiers over predicates, which cannot be implemented in single-sorted first-order logic: ∀X(∀x(Sx → Xx) → ...
