  2. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    In the older notion of nonparametric skew, defined as () /, where is the mean, is the median, and is the standard deviation, the skewness is defined in terms of this relationship: positive/right nonparametric skew means the mean is greater than (to the right of) the median, while negative/left nonparametric skew means the mean is less than (to ...

  3. Skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew

    Skew normal distribution, a probability distribution; Skew field or division ring; Skew-Hermitian matrix; Skew lattice; Skew polygon, whose vertices do not lie on a plane; Infinite skew polyhedron; Skew-symmetric graph; Skew-symmetric matrix; Skew tableau, a generalization of Young tableaux; Skewness, a measure of the asymmetry of a probability ...

  4. Skew lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_lines

    The line through segment AD and the line through segment B 1 B are skew lines because they are not in the same plane. In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron.

  5. Skew normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_normal_distribution

    The exponentially modified normal distribution is another 3-parameter distribution that is a generalization of the normal distribution to skewed cases. The skew normal still has a normal-like tail in the direction of the skew, with a shorter tail in the other direction; that is, its density is asymptotically proportional to for some positive .

  6. Clock skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_skew

    Clock skew (sometimes called timing skew) is a phenomenon in synchronous digital circuit systems (such as computer systems) in which the same sourced clock signal arrives at different components at different times due to gate or, in more advanced semiconductor technology, wire signal propagation delay. The instantaneous difference between the ...

  7. Division ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_ring

    In algebra, a division ring, also called a skew field (or, occasionally, a sfield [1] [2]), is a nontrivial ring in which division by nonzero elements is defined. Specifically, it is a nontrivial ring [3] in which every nonzero element a has a multiplicative inverse, that is, an element usually denoted a –1, such that a a –1 = a –1 a = 1.

  8. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph.If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.

  9. Types of mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_mesh

    Skewness based on equilateral volume If the accuracy is of the highest concern then hexahedral mesh is the most preferable one. The density of the mesh is required to be sufficiently high in order to capture all the flow features but on the same note, it should not be so high that it captures unnecessary details of the flow, thus burdening the ...
