  2. Truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function.Given a number + to be truncated and , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is

  3. ITP method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITP_Method

    In numerical analysis, the ITP method (Interpolate Truncate and Project method) is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method [1] while retaining the optimal [2] worst-case performance of the bisection method. [3]

  5. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    In the IEEE standard the base is binary, i.e. =, and normalization is used.The IEEE standard stores the sign, exponent, and significand in separate fields of a floating point word, each of which has a fixed width (number of bits).

  6. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    As shown above, LCGs do not always use all of the bits in the values they produce. In general, they return the most significant bits. For example, the Java implementation operates with 48-bit values at each iteration but returns only their 32 most significant bits. This is because the higher-order bits have longer periods than the lower-order ...

  7. Truncated binary encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_binary_encoding

    Another example, encoding an alphabet of size 10 (between 0 and 9) requires 4 bits, but there are 2 4 − 10 = 6 unused codes, so input values less than 6 have the first bit discarded, while input values greater than or equal to 6 are offset by 6 to the end of the binary space. (Unused patterns are not shown in this table.)

  8. Truncation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation_(statistics)

    Truncation can be applied to any probability distribution.This will usually lead to a new distribution, not one within the same family. Thus, if a random variable X has F(x) as its distribution function, the new random variable Y defined as having the distribution of X truncated to the semi-open interval (a, b] has the distribution function

    The enclosed text becomes a string literal, which Python usually ignores (except when it is the first statement in the body of a module, class or function; see docstring). Elixir. The above trick used in Python also works in Elixir, but the compiler will throw a warning if it spots this.
