  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 ...

  3. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal ...

  4. Database repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_repair

    The problem of database repair is a question about relational databases which has been studied in database theory, and which is a particular kind of data cleansing. The problem asks about how we can "repair" an input relational database in order to make it satisfy integrity constraints .

  5. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    "Instead of using a single floating-point number as approximation for the value of a real variable in the mathematical model under investigation, interval arithmetic acknowledges limited precision by associating with the variable a set of reals as possible values. For ease of storage and computation, these sets are restricted to intervals." [7]

  6. Data cleansing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_cleansing

    Set-Membership constraints: The values for a column come from a set of discrete values or codes. For example, a person's sex may be Female, Male, or Non-Binary. Foreign-key constraints: This is the more general case of set membership. The set of values in a column is defined in a column of another table that contains unique values.

  7. Catastrophic cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_cancellation

    In IEEE 754 binary64 arithmetic, evaluating the alternative factoring (+) gives the correct result exactly (with no rounding), but evaluating the naive expression gives the floating-point number = _, of which less than half the digits are correct and the other (underlined) digits reflect the missing terms +, lost due to rounding when ...

  8. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    The exact result is 10005.85987, which rounds to 10005.9. With a plain summation, each incoming value would be aligned with sum, and many low-order digits would be lost (by truncation or rounding). The first result, after rounding, would be 10003.1. The second result would be 10005.81828 before rounding and 10005.8 after rounding. This is not ...

  9. Round number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_number

    A round number is an integer that ends with one or more "0"s (zero-digit) in a given base. [1] So, 590 is rounder than 592, but 590 is less round than 600. In both technical and informal language, a round number is often interpreted to stand for a value or values near to the nominal value expressed.
