    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank_error-correcting_code

    There are several known constructions of rank codes, which are maximum rank distance (or MRD) codes with d = n − k + 1.The easiest one to construct is known as the (generalized) Gabidulin code, it was discovered first by Delsarte (who called it a Singleton system) and later by Gabidulin [2] (and Kshevetskiy [3]).

  4. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spearman's_rank_correlation...

    An alternative name for the Spearman rank correlation is the “grade correlation”; [9] in this, the “rank” of an observation is replaced by the “grade”. In continuous distributions, the grade of an observation is, by convention, always one half less than the rank, and hence the grade and rank correlations are the same in this case.

  5. Low-rank approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-rank_approximation

    In mathematics, low-rank approximation refers to the process of approximating a given matrix by a matrix of lower rank. More precisely, it is a minimization problem, in which the cost function measures the fit between a given matrix (the data) and an approximating matrix (the optimization variable), subject to a constraint that the approximating matrix has reduced rank.

  6. Ranking (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, ranking is the data transformation in which numerical or ordinal values are replaced by their rank when the data are sorted.. For example, if the numerical data 3.4, 5.1, 2.6, 7.3 are observed, the ranks of these data items would be 2, 3, 1 and 4 respectively.

    There are adjustments for the rank and file of a pawn and adjustments for the pieces depending on how open or closed the position is. Bishops, rooks, and queens gain up to 10 percent more value in open positions and lose up to 20 percent in closed positions.
