  2. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    If x is negative, round-down is the same as round-away-from-zero, and round-up is the same as round-toward-zero. In any case, if x is an integer, y is just x . Where many calculations are done in sequence, the choice of rounding method can have a very significant effect on the result.

  3. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

    This was chosen because the 11/780 was roughly equivalent in performance to an IBM System/370 model 158–3, which was commonly accepted in the computing industry as running at 1 MIPS. Many minicomputer performance claims were based on the Fortran version of the Whetstone benchmark , giving Millions of Whetstone Instructions Per Second (MWIPS).

    (), where (2n − 1)!! is the double factorial of (2n − 1), which is the product of all odd numbers up to (2n − 1). This series diverges for every finite x , and its meaning as asymptotic expansion is that for any integer N ≥ 1 one has erfc ⁡ x = e − x 2 x π ∑ n = 0 N − 1 ( − 1 ) n ( 2 n − 1 ) ! !

  6. Julian day - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day

    The Lilian day number is a count of days of the Gregorian calendar and not defined relative to the Julian Date. It is an integer applied to a whole day; day 1 was October 15, 1582, which was the day the Gregorian calendar went into effect. The original paper defining it makes no mention of the time zone, and no mention of time-of-day. [26]

  7. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    [1] [2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events (subsets of the sample space). [ 3 ] For instance, if X is used to denote the outcome of a coin toss ("the experiment"), then the probability distribution of X would take the value 0.5 (1 in 2 or 1/2) for X = heads , and ...

    The EPA storm water management model (SWMM) is a dynamic rainfall-runoff-routing simulation model used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas.
