The Törnqvist or Törnqvist-Theil index is the geometric average of the n price relatives of the current to base period prices (for n goods) weighted by the arithmetic average of the value shares for the two periods. [16] [17]
An example of an arithmetic function is the divisor function whose value at a positive integer n is equal to the number of divisors of n. Arithmetic functions are often extremely irregular (see table ), but some of them have series expansions in terms of Ramanujan's sum .
A more advanced example is the Dirichlet function over the real line, which takes the value 1 if x is rational and 0 otherwise. (Thus the "simple" of "simple function" has a technical meaning somewhat at odds with common language.) All step functions are simple.
Formally, a function of n variables is a function whose domain is a set of n-tuples. [note 3] For example, multiplication of integers is a function of two variables, or bivariate function, whose domain is the set of all ordered pairs (2-tuples) of integers, and whose codomain is the set of integers. The same is true for every binary operation.
The procedure which generates this checksum is called a checksum function or checksum algorithm. Depending on its design goals, a good checksum algorithm usually outputs a significantly different value, even for small changes made to the input. [ 2 ]
Fix a complex number .If = for and () =, then () = ⌊ ⌋ and the formula becomes = ⌊ ⌋ = ⌊ ⌋ + ⌊ ⌋ +. If () >, then the limit as exists and yields the ...
is the total number of attributes where A has value 0 and B has value 1, and M 10 {\displaystyle M_{10}} is the total number of attributes where A has value 1 and B has value 0. The simple matching distance (SMD) , which measures dissimilarity between sample sets, is given by 1 − SMC {\displaystyle 1-{\text{SMC}}} .
In algebra, it is a notation to resolve ambiguity (for instance, "b times 2" may be written as b⋅2, to avoid being confused with a value called b 2). This notation is used wherever multiplication should be written explicitly, such as in " ab = a ⋅2 for b = 2 "; this usage is also seen in English-language texts.
