  2. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

  3. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    If an airplane's altitude at time t is a(t), and the air pressure at altitude x is p(x), then (p ∘ a)(t) is the pressure around the plane at time t. Function defined on finite sets which change the order of their elements such as permutations can be composed on the same set, this being composition of permutations.

  4. Data transformation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transformation...

    In the lower plot, both the area and population data have been transformed using the logarithm function. In statistics, data transformation is the application of a deterministic mathematical function to each point in a data set—that is, each data point z i is replaced with the transformed value y i = f(z i), where f is a function.

  5. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    In mathematics, a basis function is an element of a particular basis for a function space. Every function in the function space can be represented as a linear combination of basis functions, just as every vector in a vector space can be represented as a linear combination of basis vectors .

  6. Change of basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_basis

    The fact that the change-of-basis formula expresses the old coordinates in terms of the new one may seem unnatural, but appears as useful, as no matrix inversion is needed here. As the change-of-basis formula involves only linear functions, many function properties are kept by a change of basis. This allows defining these properties as ...

  7. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_(linear_algebra)

    A basis B of a vector space V over a field F (such as the real numbers R or the complex numbers C) is a linearly independent subset of V that spans V.This means that a subset B of V is a basis if it satisfies the two following conditions:

  8. Radial basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_basis_function

    A radial function is a function : [,).When paired with a norm on a vector space ‖ ‖: [,), a function of the form = (‖ ‖) is said to be a radial kernel centered at .A radial function and the associated radial kernels are said to be radial basis functions if, for any finite set of nodes {} =, all of the following conditions are true:

  9. Basis set (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_set_(chemistry)

    In theoretical and computational chemistry, a basis set is a set of functions (called basis functions) that is used to represent the electronic wave function in the Hartree–Fock method or density-functional theory in order to turn the partial differential equations of the model into algebraic equations suitable for efficient implementation on a computer.
