  2. Truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function. Given a number x ∈ R + {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} _{+}} to be truncated and n ∈ N 0 {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} _{0}} , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is

    Example: the decimal number () = (¯) can be rearranged into + ⏟ … Since the 53rd bit to the right of the binary point is a 1 and is followed by other nonzero bits, the round-to-nearest rule requires rounding up, that is, add 1 bit to the 52nd bit.

    Suppose we compute the sequence with a one-step method of the form y n = y n − 1 + h A ( t n − 1 , y n − 1 , h , f ) . {\displaystyle y_{n}=y_{n-1}+hA(t_{n-1},y_{n-1},h,f).} The function A {\displaystyle A} is called the increment function , and can be interpreted as an estimate of the slope y ( t n ) − y ( t n − 1 ) h {\displaystyle ...

    It also provides the macros FLT_EPSILON, DBL_EPSILON, LDBL_EPSILON, which represent the positive difference between 1.0 and the next greater representable number in the corresponding type (i.e. the ulp of one). [9] The Java standard library provides the functions Math.ulp(double) and Math.ulp(float). They were introduced with Java 1.5.

    For example, 1.6 would be rounded to 1 with probability 0.4 and to 2 with probability 0.6. Stochastic rounding can be accurate in a way that a rounding function can never be. For example, suppose one started with 0 and added 0.3 to that one hundred times while rounding the running total between every addition.

  9. Truncation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, truncation results in values that are limited above or below, resulting in a truncated sample. [1] A random variable y {\displaystyle y} is said to be truncated from below if, for some threshold value c {\displaystyle c} , the exact value of y {\displaystyle y} is known for all cases y > c {\displaystyle y>c} , but unknown for ...
