In statistics, an effect size is a value measuring the strength of the relationship between two variables in a population, or a sample-based estimate of that quantity. It can refer to the value of a statistic calculated from a sample of data, the value of one parameter for a hypothetical population, or to the equation that operationalizes how statistics or parameters lead to the effect size ...
The Italian statistician Corrado Gini developed the Gini coefficient and published it in his 1912 paper Variabilità e mutabilità (English: variability and mutability). [16] [17] Building on the work of American economist Max Lorenz, Gini proposed using the difference between the hypothetical straight line depicting perfect equality and the actual line depicting people's incomes as a measure ...

The first use of an equals sign, equivalent to 14x+15=71 in modern notation.From The Whetstone of Witte (1557) by Robert Recorde.

The table below is for 2008, 2018, 2019 and 2021.The GDP data is based on data from the World Bank. [3] The population data is based on data from the UN. [4] The Wealth Gini coefficients from 2008 are based on a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The vertical axis is the logarithm of population for any sequence at that distance divided by total population (thus the division of n d by the binomial coefficient). The total number of digits per sequence is L=100, and the master sequence has a selective advantage of a=1.05.

For example, rounding x = 2.1784 dollars to whole cents (i.e., to a multiple of 0.01) entails computing 2.1784 / 0.01 = 217.84, then rounding that to 218, and finally computing 218 × 0.01 = 2.18. When rounding to a predetermined number of significant digits , the increment m depends on the magnitude of the number to be rounded (or of the ...
