  2. Prediction interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_interval

    The prediction interval is conventionally written as: [, +]. For example, to calculate the 95% prediction interval for a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 5 and a standard deviation (σ) of 1, then z is approximately 2. Therefore, the lower limit of the prediction interval is approximately 5 ‒ (2⋅1) = 3, and the upper limit is ...

  3. Interval (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(music)

    The size of an interval between two notes may be measured by the ratio of their frequencies.When a musical instrument is tuned using a just intonation tuning system, the size of the main intervals can be expressed by small-integer ratios, such as 1:1 (), 2:1 (), 5:3 (major sixth), 3:2 (perfect fifth), 4:3 (perfect fourth), 5:4 (major third), 6:5 (minor third).

  4. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

    The main objective of interval arithmetic is to provide a simple way of calculating upper and lower bounds of a function's range in one or more variables. These endpoints are not necessarily the true supremum or infimum of a range since the precise calculation of those values can be difficult or impossible; the bounds only need to contain the function's range as a subset.

  5. Tukey's range test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tukey's_range_test

    Tukey's range test, also known as Tukey's test, Tukey method, Tukey's honest significance test, or Tukey's HSD (honestly significant difference) test, [1] is a single-step multiple comparison procedure and statistical test.

  6. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The input for the method is a continuous function f, an interval [a, b], and the function values f(a) and f(b). The function values are of opposite sign (there is at least one zero crossing within the interval). Each iteration performs these steps: Calculate c, the midpoint of the interval, c = ⁠ a + b / 2 ⁠.

  7. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    A weaker three-sigma rule can be derived from Chebyshev's inequality, stating that even for non-normally distributed variables, at least 88.8% of cases should fall within properly calculated three-sigma intervals. For unimodal distributions, the probability of being within the interval is at least 95% by the Vysochanskij–Petunin inequality ...

  8. Diminished second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminished_second

    In modern Western tonal music theory, a diminished second is the interval produced by narrowing a minor second by one chromatic semitone. [1] In twelve-tone equal temperament, it is enharmonically equivalent to a perfect unison; [3] therefore, it is the interval between notes on two adjacent staff positions, or having adjacent note letters, altered in such a way that they have no pitch ...

  9. Step function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function

    The Heaviside step function is an often-used step function.. A constant function is a trivial example of a step function. Then there is only one interval, =. The sign function sgn(x), which is −1 for negative numbers and +1 for positive numbers, and is the simplest non-constant step function.
