  2. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.

    The Statistics Indonesia in 2018 has released the official projection of Indonesia's population 2015–2045, [3] which are based on previous census in 2010 and the 2015 Indonesian population survey between censuses (SUPAS).

    The 1961 Indonesian census was the first census of Indonesia as a sovereign state. With a total population of 97,018,829, Indonesia was the world's fifth-most populous country at the time.

  5. Random projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_projection

    The core idea behind random projection is given in the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma, [2] which states that if points in a vector space are of sufficiently high dimension, then they may be projected into a suitable lower-dimensional space in a way which approximately preserves pairwise distances between the points with high probability.

    Mollweide projection of the world The Mollweide projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. The Mollweide projection is an equal-area, pseudocylindrical map projection generally used for maps of the world or celestial sphere.

    In the statistical physics of spin glasses and other systems with quenched disorder, the replica trick is a mathematical technique based on the application of the formula: ⁡ = or: ⁡ = where is most commonly the partition function, or a similar thermodynamic function.

  8. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.

  9. Map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

    A medieval depiction of the Ecumene (1482, Johannes Schnitzer, engraver), constructed after the coordinates in Ptolemy's Geography and using his second map projection. In cartography, a map projection is any of a broad set of transformations employed to represent the curved two-dimensional surface of a globe on a plane.
