  2. Leverage (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leverage_(statistics)

    The formula then divides by () to account for the fact that we remove the observation rather than adjusting its value, reflecting the fact that removal changes the distribution of covariates more when applied to high-leverage observations (i.e. with outlier covariate values). Similar formulas arise when applying general formulas for statistical ...

  3. DFFITS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFFITS

    Thus, for low leverage points, DFFITS is expected to be small, whereas as the leverage goes to 1 the distribution of the DFFITS value widens infinitely. For a perfectly balanced experimental design (such as a factorial design or balanced partial factorial design), the leverage for each point is p/n, the number of parameters divided by the ...

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The actual mechanical advantage (AMA) is the mechanical advantage determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces. Actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The AMA of a machine is calculated as the ratio of the measured force output to the measured force input,

  5. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    A simple machine that exhibits mechanical advantage is called a mechanical advantage device - e.g.: Lever: The beam shown is in static equilibrium around the fulcrum. This is due to the moment created by vector force "A" counterclockwise (moment A*a) being in equilibrium with the moment created by vector force "B" clockwise (moment B*b).

  6. Compound lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_lever

    The figure on the left illustrates a compound lever formed from two first-class levers, along with a short derivation of how to compute the mechanical advantage. With the dimensions shown, the mechanical advantage, W/F can be calculated as ⁠ 10 / 3 ⁠ × ⁠ 9 / 4 ⁠ = 7.5, meaning that an applied force of 1 pound (or 1 kg) could lift a ...

  7. Lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever

    The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of output force to input force. M A = F 2 F 1 = a b . {\displaystyle MA={\frac {F_{2}}{F_{1}}}={\frac {a}{b}}.\!} This relationship shows that the mechanical advantage can be computed from ratio of the distances from the fulcrum to where the input and output forces are applied to the lever ...

  8. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    This leads to a mechanical advantage: the force needed to lift a load is only a fraction of the load's weight. At the same time, the distance the load is lifted is smaller than the length of chain pulled by the same factor. This factor (the mechanical advantage MA) depends on the relative difference of the radii r and R of the connected pulleys:

  9. Degrees of freedom (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Degrees_of_freedom_(statistics)

    Naive application of classical formula, n − p, would lead to over-estimation of the residuals degree of freedom, as if each observation were independent. More realistically, though, the hat matrix H = X ( X ' Σ −1 X ) −1 X ' Σ −1 would involve an observation covariance matrix Σ indicating the non-zero correlation among observations.
