  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  4. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    Under zero-based numbering, the initial element is sometimes termed the zeroth element, [1] rather than the first element; zeroth is a coined ordinal number corresponding to the number zero. In some cases, an object or value that does not (originally) belong to a given sequence, but which could be naturally placed before its initial element ...

  5. Dummy variable (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The variable could take on a value of 1 for males and 0 for females (or vice versa). In machine learning this is known as one-hot encoding. Dummy variables are commonly used in regression analysis to represent categorical variables that have more than two levels, such as education level or occupation.

  6. Natural number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

    The least ordinal of cardinality ℵ 0 (that is, the initial ordinal of ℵ 0) is ω but many well-ordered sets with cardinal number0 have an ordinal number greater than ω. For finite well-ordered sets, there is a one-to-one correspondence between ordinal and cardinal numbers; therefore they can both be expressed by the same natural ...

  7. Non-numerical words for quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-numerical_words_for...

    Along with numerals, and special-purpose words like some, any, much, more, every, and all, they are quantifiers. Quantifiers are a kind of determiner and occur in many constructions with other determiners, like articles: e.g., two dozen or more than a score. Scientific non-numerical quantities are represented as SI units.

  8. Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    In mathematics, a negative number is the opposite of a positive real number. [1] Equivalently, a negative number is a real number that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency. A debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset.

  9. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and...

    The definition extends naturally to more than two random variables. We say that n {\displaystyle n} random variables X 1 , … , X n {\displaystyle X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}} are i.i.d. if they are independent (see further Independence (probability theory) § More than two random variables ) and identically distributed, i.e. if and only if
