  2. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Having a constant diameter, measured at varying angles around the shape, is often considered to be a simple measurement of roundness.This is misleading. [3]Although constant diameter is a necessary condition for roundness, it is not a sufficient condition for roundness: shapes exist that have constant diameter but are far from round.

  3. Automorphic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphic_number

    A trimorphic number or spherical number occurs when the polynomial function is () =. [1] All automorphic numbers are trimorphic. The terms circular and spherical were formerly used for the slightly different case of a number whose powers all have the same last digit as the number itself.

  4. Bounds checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_checking

    In computer programming, bounds checking is any method of detecting whether a variable is within some bounds before it is used. It is usually used to ensure that a number fits into a given type (range checking), or that a variable being used as an array index is within the bounds of the array (index checking).

  5. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    In mathematics and statistics, a circular mean or angular mean is a mean designed for angles and similar cyclic quantities, such as times of day, and fractional parts of real numbers. This is necessary since most of the usual means may not be appropriate on angle-like quantities.

  6. Circular distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_distribution

    In probability and statistics, a circular distribution or polar distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose values are angles, usually taken to be in the range [0, 2π). [1] A circular distribution is often a continuous probability distribution , and hence has a probability density , but such distributions can also be ...

  7. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    The circular standard deviation = ⁡ (/) = ⁡ ¯ = ⁡ (/ ¯) = ⁡ (¯) with values between 0 and infinity. This definition of the standard deviation (rather than the square root of the variance) is useful because for a wrapped normal distribution, it is an estimator of the standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution.

  8. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    The original concept of CEP was based on a circular bivariate normal distribution (CBN) with CEP as a parameter of the CBN just as μ and σ are parameters of the normal distribution. Munitions with this distribution behavior tend to cluster around the mean impact point, with most reasonably close, progressively fewer and fewer further away ...
