  2. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    In computer science, a lookup table (LUT) is an array that replaces runtime computation of a mathematical function with a simpler array indexing operation, in a process termed as direct addressing. The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory is often faster than carrying out an "expensive ...

  3. Map (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(higher-order_function)

    In languages which support first-class functions and currying, map may be partially applied to lift a function that works on only one value to an element-wise equivalent that works on an entire container; for example, map square is a Haskell function which squares each element of a list.

  4. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    The anonymous function here is the multiplication of the two arguments. The result of a fold need not be one value. Instead, both map and filter can be created using fold. In map, the value that is accumulated is a new list, containing the results of applying a function to each element of the original list.

  5. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    Add the walls of the cell to the wall list. While there are walls in the list: Pick a random wall from the list. If only one of the cells that the wall divides is visited, then: Make the wall a passage and mark the unvisited cell as part of the maze. Add the neighboring walls of the cell to the wall list. Remove the wall from the list.

  6. Sobol sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobol_sequence

    A different free/open-source implementation in up to 1111 dimensions is available for C++, Fortran 90, Matlab, and Python. [14] Commercial Sobol’ sequence generators are available within, for example, the NAG Library. [15]

  7. OLAP cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLAP_cube

    An example of an OLAP cube. An OLAP cube is a multi-dimensional array of data. [1] Online analytical processing (OLAP) [2] is a computer-based technique of analyzing data to look for insights. The term cube here refers to a multi-dimensional dataset, which is also sometimes called a hypercube if the number of dimensions is greater than three.

  8. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    Two modulo-9 LCGs show how different parameters lead to different cycle lengths. Each row shows the state evolving until it repeats. The top row shows a generator with m = 9, a = 2, c = 0, and a seed of 1, which produces a cycle of length 6. The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2.

  9. Latin hypercube sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_hypercube_sampling

    Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a statistical method for generating a near-random sample of parameter values from a multidimensional distribution. The sampling method is often used to construct computer experiments or for Monte Carlo integration. [1] LHS was described by Michael McKay of Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1979. [1]
