  2. Ranking - Wikipedia

    As another example, the ordinal data hot, cold, warm would be replaced by 3, 1, 2. In these examples, the ranks are assigned to values in ascending order, although descending ranks can also be used. Ranks are related to the indexed list of order statistics, which consists of the original dataset rearranged into ascending order.

  4. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.

  5. Sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting

    A standard order is often called ascending (corresponding to the fact that the standard order of numbers is ascending, i.e. A to Z, 0 to 9), the reverse order descending (Z to A, 9 to 0). For dates and times, ascending means that earlier values precede later ones e.g. 1/1/2000 will sort ahead of 1/1/2001.

  6. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    That is because Spearman's ρ limits the outlier to the value of its rank. In statistics, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient or Spearman's ρ, named after Charles Spearman [1] and often denoted by the Greek letter (rho) or as , is a nonparametric measure of rank correlation (statistical dependence between the rankings of two variables).

  7. Longest increasing subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_increasing_subsequence

    one of the longest increasing subsequences is. 0, 2, 6, 9, 11, 15. This subsequence has length six; the input sequence has no seven-member increasing subsequences. The longest increasing subsequence in this example is not the only solution: for instance, are other increasing subsequences of equal length in the same input sequence.

  8. Order statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic

    Order statistic. Probability density functions of the order statistics for a sample of size n = 5 from an exponential distribution with unit scale parameter. In statistics, the k th order statistic of a statistical sample is equal to its k th-smallest value. [1] Together with rank statistics, order statistics are among the most fundamental ...

  9. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    Selection sort. In computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm. It has an O (n2) time complexity, which makes it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for its simplicity and has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in ...
