  2. Linear trend estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_trend_estimation

    All have the same trend, but more filtering leads to higher r 2 of fitted trend line. The least-squares fitting process produces a value, r-squared (r 2), which is 1 minus the ratio of the variance of the residuals to the variance of the dependent variable. It says what fraction of the variance of the data is explained by the fitted trend line.

  3. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    So for an algorithm of time complexity 2 x, if a problem of size x = 10 requires 10 seconds to complete, and a problem of size x = 11 requires 20 seconds, then a problem of size x = 12 will require 40 seconds. This kind of algorithm typically becomes unusable at very small problem sizes, often between 30 and 100 items (most computer algorithms ...

  4. Fluctuation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluctuation_theorem

    Roughly, the fluctuation theorem relates to the probability distribution of the time-averaged irreversible entropy production, denoted ¯.The theorem states that, in systems away from equilibrium over a finite time t, the ratio between the probability that ¯ takes on a value A and the probability that it takes the opposite value, −A, will be exponential in At.

  5. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of ...

  6. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  7. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    For a simple pendulum, this definition yields a formula for the moment of inertia I in terms of the mass m of the pendulum and its distance r from the pivot point as, =. Thus, the moment of inertia of the pendulum depends on both the mass m of a body and its geometry, or shape, as defined by the distance r to the axis of rotation.

  8. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  9. Time derivative - Wikipedia

    using the trigonometric identity sin 2 (t) + cos 2 (t) = 1 and where is the usual Euclidean dot product. With this form for the displacement, the velocity now is found. The time derivative of the displacement vector is the velocity vector.
