  2. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Roundness is the measure of how closely the shape of an object approaches that of a mathematically perfect circle.Roundness applies in two dimensions, such as the cross sectional circles along a cylindrical object such as a shaft or a cylindrical roller for a bearing.

  3. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    In mathematics and statistics, a circular mean or angular mean is a mean designed for angles and similar cyclic quantities, such as times of day, and fractional parts of real numbers. This is necessary since most of the usual means may not be appropriate on angle-like quantities.

  4. Automorphic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphic_number

    A trimorphic number or spherical number occurs when the polynomial function is () =. [1] All automorphic numbers are trimorphic. The terms circular and spherical were formerly used for the slightly different case of a number whose powers all have the same last digit as the number itself.

  5. Circular distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_distribution

    In probability and statistics, a circular distribution or polar distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose values are angles, usually taken to be in the range [0, 2π). [1] A circular distribution is often a continuous probability distribution , and hence has a probability density , but such distributions can also be ...

  6. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    The original concept of CEP was based on a circular bivariate normal distribution (CBN) with CEP as a parameter of the CBN just as μ and σ are parameters of the normal distribution. Munitions with this distribution behavior tend to cluster around the mean impact point, with most reasonably close, progressively fewer and fewer further away ...

  7. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    The circular standard deviation = ⁡ (/) = ⁡ ¯ = ⁡ (/ ¯) = ⁡ (¯) with values between 0 and infinity. This definition of the standard deviation (rather than the square root of the variance) is useful because for a wrapped normal distribution, it is an estimator of the standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution.

  8. Vicious circle principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicious_circle_principle

    However, it also blocks one standard definition of the natural numbers. First, we define a property as being "hereditary" if, whenever a number n has the property, so does n +1. Then we say that x has the property of being a natural number if and only if it has every hereditary property that 0 has. This definition is blocked, because it defines ...

  9. Circular prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_prime

    [1] [2] For example, 1193 is a circular prime, since 1931, 9311 and 3119 all are also prime. [3] A circular prime with at least two digits can only consist of combinations of the digits 1, 3, 7 or 9, because having 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 as the last digit makes the number divisible by 2, and having 0 or 5 as the last digit makes it divisible by 5.
