  2. Lunar Laser Ranging experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging...

    Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) is the practice of measuring the distance between the surfaces of the Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. The distance can be calculated from the round-trip time of laser light pulses travelling at the speed of light , which are reflected back to Earth by the Moon's surface or by one of several retroreflectors ...

    High precision Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) started soon after the Apollo 11 astronauts left the first retroreflector on the Moon. [3] Additional reflectors were left by the Apollo 14 and Apollo 15 astronauts, and two French-built reflector arrays were placed on the Moon by the Soviet Luna 17 and Luna 21 lunar rover missions.

    In mathematics, the Lucas–Lehmer–Riesel test is a primality test for numbers of the form N = k ⋅ 2 n − 1 with odd k < 2 n. The test was developed by Hans Riesel and it is based on the Lucas–Lehmer primality test. It is the fastest deterministic algorithm known for numbers of that form.

  8. Sequential probability ratio test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_probability...

    For instance, suppose the cutscore is set at 70% for a test. We could select p 1 = 0.65 and p 2 = 0.75. The test then evaluates the likelihood that an examinee's true score on that metric is equal to one of those two points. If the examinee is determined to be at 75%, they pass, and they fail if they are determined to be at 65%.

  9. Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing - Wikipedia

    In fact, post-test probability, as estimated from the likelihood ratio and pre-test probability, is generally more accurate than if estimated from the positive predictive value of the test, if the tested individual has a different pre-test probability than what is the prevalence of that condition in the population.
