  2. Corecursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corecursion

    A classic example of recursion is computing the factorial, which is defined recursively by 0! := 1 and n! := n × (n - 1)!.. To recursively compute its result on a given input, a recursive function calls (a copy of) itself with a different ("smaller" in some way) input and uses the result of this call to construct its result.

  3. Factorial experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_experiment

    Designed experiments with full factorial design (left), response surface with second-degree polynomial (right) In statistics, a full factorial experiment is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or "levels", and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors.

  4. Factor analysis of mixed data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_analysis_of_mixed_data

    When data include both types of variables but the active variables being homogeneous, PCA or MCA can be used. Indeed, it is easy to include supplementary quantitative variables in MCA by the correlation coefficients between the variables and factors on individuals (a factor on individuals is the vector gathering the coordinates of individuals on a factorial axis); the representation obtained ...

  5. Multiple factor analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_factor_analysis

    Multiple factor analysis (MFA) is a factorial method [1] devoted to the study of tables in which a group of individuals is described by a set of variables (quantitative and / or qualitative) structured in groups.

  6. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    This is an example of an asymptotic expansion. It is not a convergent series ; for any particular value of n {\displaystyle n} there are only so many terms of the series that improve accuracy, after which accuracy worsens.

  7. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    As a concrete example, the difference in performance between recursive and iterative implementations of the "factorial" example above depends highly on the compiler used. In languages where looping constructs are preferred, the iterative version may be as much as several orders of magnitude faster than the recursive one. In functional languages ...

    The latter is far from optimal, but the former, which changes only one variable at a time, is worse. See also the factorial experimental design methods pioneered by Sir Ronald A. Fisher. Reasons for disfavoring OFAT include: OFAT requires more runs for the same precision in effect estimation; OFAT cannot estimate interactions

  9. Plackett–Burman design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plackett–Burman_design

    Plackett–Burman designs are experimental designs presented in 1946 by Robin L. Plackett and J. P. Burman while working in the British Ministry of Supply. [1] Their goal was to find experimental designs for investigating the dependence of some measured quantity on a number of independent variables (factors), each taking L levels, in such a way as to minimize the variance of the estimates of ...
