  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x , Excel first approximates x as a binary number. If this binary version of x is a simple power of 2, the 15 digit decimal approximation to x is stored in the sum, and the top two examples of the figure indicate recovery of x ...

  3. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    Peak values can be calculated from RMS values from the above formula, which implies V P = V RMS × √ 2, assuming the source is a pure sine wave. Thus the peak value of the mains voltage in the USA is about 120 × √ 2, or about 170 volts. The peak-to-peak voltage, being double this, is about 340 volts.

  4. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    The expected values of the powers of X are called the moments of X; the moments about the mean of X are expected values of powers of X − E[X]. The moments of some random variables can be used to specify their distributions, via their moment generating functions.

  5. Pearson correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_correlation...

    Pearson's correlation coefficient is the covariance of the two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. The form of the definition involves a "product moment", that is, the mean (the first moment about the origin) of the product of the mean-adjusted random variables; hence the modifier product-moment in the name.

  6. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Moreover, the hypothesis on F′ ensures that X k + 1 is at most half the size of X k when m is the midpoint of Y, so this sequence converges towards [x*, x*], where x* is the root of f in X. If F ′ ( X ) strictly contains 0, the use of extended interval division produces a union of two intervals for N ( X ) ; multiple roots are therefore ...

  7. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    In fact the absolute value is the "only" norm on , in the sense that, for every norm ‖ · ‖ on , ‖ x ‖ = ‖ 1 ‖ ⋅ | x |. The complex absolute value is a special case of the norm in an inner product space , which is identical to the Euclidean norm when the complex plane is identified as the Euclidean plane R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb ...

  9. Secant method - Wikipedia

    We then use this new value of x as x 2 and repeat the process, using x 1 and x 2 instead of x 0 and x 1. We continue this process, solving for x 3, x 4, etc., until we reach a sufficiently high level of precision (a sufficiently small difference between x n and x n−1):
