  2. Polar set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_set

    The real polar of a subset of is the set: := { : ⁡ , } and the real prepolar of a subset of is the set: := { : ⁡ , }.. As with the absolute prepolar, the real prepolar is usually called the real polar and is also denoted by . [2] It's important to note that some authors (e.g. [Schaefer 1999]) define "polar" to mean "real polar" (rather than "absolute polar", as is done in this article) and ...

  3. Polar code (coding theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_code_(coding_theory)

    Primarily, the original design of the polar codes achieves capacity when block sizes are asymptotically large with a successive cancellation decoder. However, with the block sizes used in industry, the performance of the successive cancellation is poor compared to well-defined and implemented coding schemes such as low-density parity-check code ...

  4. R (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

    R is a programming language for statistical computing and data visualization. It has been adopted in the fields of data mining, bioinformatics and data analysis. [9] The core R language is augmented by a large number of extension packages, containing reusable code, documentation, and sample data. R software is open-source and free software.

  5. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The radius and the azimuth are together called the polar coordinates, as they correspond to a two-dimensional polar coordinate system in the plane through the point, parallel to the reference plane. The third coordinate may be called the height or altitude (if the reference plane is considered horizontal), longitudinal position , [ 1 ] or axial ...

  6. Polar decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_decomposition

    In mathematics, the polar decomposition of a square real or complex matrix is a factorization of the form =, where is a unitary matrix and is a positive semi-definite Hermitian matrix (is an orthogonal matrix and is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix in the real case), both square and of the same size.

  7. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    Let R denote the region enclosed by a curve r(φ) and the rays φ = a and φ = b, where 0 < b − a ≤ 2 π. Then, the area of R is [()]. The region R is approximated by n sectors (here, n = 5). A planimeter, which mechanically computes polar integrals

  8. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The 'south'-direction x-axis is depicted but the 'north'-direction x-axis is not. (As in physics, ρ is often used instead of r to avoid confusion with the value r in cylindrical and 2D polar coordinates.) According to the conventions of geographical coordinate systems, positions are measured by latitude, longitude, and height (altitude).

  9. Kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

    Kernel density estimation of 100 normally distributed random numbers using different smoothing bandwidths.. In statistics, kernel density estimation (KDE) is the application of kernel smoothing for probability density estimation, i.e., a non-parametric method to estimate the probability density function of a random variable based on kernels as weights.
