  2. Power Query - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Query

    Power Query is built on what was then [when?] a new query language called M.It is a mashup language (hence the letter M) designed to create queries that mix together data. It is similar to the F Sharp programming language, and according to Microsoft it is a "mostly pure, higher-order, dynamically typed, partially lazy, functional language."

  3. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Common applications of approximate matching include spell checking. [5] With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched.

  4. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel's storage of numbers in binary format also affects its accuracy. [3] To illustrate, the lower figure tabulates the simple addition 1 + x − 1 for several values of x. All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x, Excel first approximates x as a binary number

  5. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  6. Function approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_approximation

    Several progressively more accurate approximations of the step function. An asymmetrical Gaussian function fit to a noisy curve using regression.. In general, a function approximation problem asks us to select a function among a well-defined class [citation needed] [clarification needed] that closely matches ("approximates") a target function [citation needed] in a task-specific way.

  7. Approximate membership query filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_Membership...

    The AMQ filter functions as a proxy to the set of keys of a database or remote memory. Before a presumably slow query to the database or to remote memory is performed, the AMQ filter is used to give an approximate answer as to whether the key is in the database or in remote memory. The slow query is only performed when the AMQ filter returns true.

  8. Query optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_optimization

    The query optimizer attempts to determine the most efficient way to execute a given query by considering the possible query plans. [ 1 ] Generally, the query optimizer cannot be accessed directly by users: once queries are submitted to the database server, and parsed by the parser, they are then passed to the query optimizer where optimization ...

  9. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The approximation (⁡ +) and its equivalent form ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ + (⁡ + ⁡ (⁡ +)) can be obtained by rearranging Stirling's extended formula and observing a coincidence between the resultant power series and the Taylor series expansion of the hyperbolic sine function.
