  2. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The graph of the Dirac delta is usually thought of as following the whole x-axis and the positive y-axis. [ 5 ] : 174 The Dirac delta is used to model a tall narrow spike function (an impulse ), and other similar abstractions such as a point charge , point mass or electron point.

  3. Negative hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hypergeometric...

    Negative-hypergeometric distribution (like the hypergeometric distribution) deals with draws without replacement, so that the probability of success is different in each draw. In contrast, negative-binomial distribution (like the binomial distribution) deals with draws with replacement , so that the probability of success is the same and the ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Pareto distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution

    The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian civil engineer, economist, and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto, [2] is a power-law probability distribution that is used in description of social, quality control, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena; the principle originally applied to describing the distribution of wealth in a society, fitting the trend ...

  7. Noncentral t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution

    Moreover, the negative of the mode is exactly the mode for a noncentral t-distribution with the same number of degrees of freedom ν but noncentrality parameter −μ. The mode is strictly increasing with μ (it always moves in the same direction as μ is adjusted in).

  8. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript r {\displaystyle r} means "reaction" and the superscript ⊖ {\displaystyle \ominus } means "standard".

  9. Cohen's h - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen's_h

    Researchers have used Cohen's h as follows. Describe the differences in proportions using the rule of thumb criteria set out by Cohen. [1] Namely, h = 0.2 is a "small" difference, h = 0.5 is a "medium" difference, and h = 0.8 is a "large" difference. [2] [3] Only discuss differences that have h greater than some threshold value, such as 0.2. [4]
