  2. Quadrant count ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrant_Count_Ratio

    The QCR is always between −1 and 1. Values near −1, 0, and 1 indicate strong negative association, no association, and strong positive association (as in Pearson's correlation coefficient). However, unlike Pearson's correlation coefficient the QCR may be −1 or 1 without the data exhibiting a perfect linear relationship.

  3. Checkmate pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate_pattern

    It works by confining the king with a pawn and using a queen to execute the checkmate. Damiano's mate is often arrived at by first sacrificing a rook on the h-file, then checking the king with the queen on the a-file or h-file, and then moving in for the mate. The checkmate was first published by Pedro Damiano in 1512. [11]

  4. Characteristic equation (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_equation...

    [3] [4] The characteristic equation can only be formed when the differential or difference equation is linear and homogeneous, and has constant coefficients. [1] Such a differential equation, with y as the dependent variable , superscript ( n ) denoting n th - derivative , and a n , a n − 1 , ..., a 1 , a 0 as constants,

  5. Faddeev–LeVerrier algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faddeev–LeVerrier_algorithm

    The objective is to calculate the coefficients c k of the characteristic polynomial of the n×n matrix A, () = = ,where, evidently, c n = 1 and c 0 = (−1) n det A. The coefficients c n-i are determined by induction on i, using an auxiliary sequence of matrices

  6. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent of any scientific experimentation. Some areas of mathematics, such as statistics and game theory, are developed in close correlation with their applications and are often grouped under applied mathematics.

  7. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

  8. Checkmate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate

    A checkmate may occur in as few as two moves on one side with all of the pieces still on the board (as in fool's mate, in the opening phase of the game), in a middlegame position (as in the 1956 game called the Game of the Century between Donald Byrne and Bobby Fischer), [3] or after many moves with as few as three pieces in an endgame position.

  9. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    The binomial coefficients occur in many areas of mathematics, and especially in combinatorics. In combinatorics the symbol ( n k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{k}}} is usually read as " n choose k " because there are ( n k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{k}}} ways to choose an (unordered) subset of k elements from a fixed set of n elements.
