  2. Nodal precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodal_precession

    This is equivalent to −3.683° per day, so the orbit plane will make one complete turn (in inertial space) in 98 days. The apparent motion of the sun is approximately +1° per day (360° per year / 365.2422 days per tropical year ≈ 0.9856473° per day), so apparent motion of the sun relative to the orbit plane is about 2.8° per day ...

  3. Lunar precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_precession

    After one nodal precession period, the number of draconic months exceeds the number of sidereal months by exactly one. This period is about 6,793 days (18.60 years). [3] As a result of this nodal precession, the time for the Sun to return to the same lunar node, the eclipse year, is about 18.6377 days shorter than a sidereal year.

  4. Theil–Sen estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    The dashed green line represents the ground truth from which the samples were generated. In non-parametric statistics, the Theil–Sen estimator is a method for robustly fitting a line to sample points in the plane (simple linear regression) by choosing the median of the slopes of all lines through pairs of points.

  5. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    In linear regression, the model specification is that the dependent variable, is a linear combination of the parameters (but need not be linear in the independent variables). For example, in simple linear regression for modeling n {\displaystyle n} data points there is one independent variable: x i {\displaystyle x_{i}} , and two parameters, β ...

  6. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    Deming regression (total least squares) also finds a line that fits a set of two-dimensional sample points, but (unlike ordinary least squares, least absolute deviations, and median slope regression) it is not really an instance of simple linear regression, because it does not separate the coordinates into one dependent and one independent ...

  7. Lunar node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_node

    So the time from one node crossing to the next (see eclipse season) is approximately a half-year minus half of 19.1 days -- or about 173 days. Because the orbital plane of the Moon precesses in space, the lunar nodes also precess around the ecliptic, completing one revolution (called a draconic period or nodal period ) in 18.612958 years (6,798 ...

  8. Apsidal precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsidal_precession

    From these and the speed of light (which is ~ 3 × 10 8 m/s), it can be calculated that the apsidal precession during one period of revolution is ε = 5.028 × 10 −7 radians (2.88 × 10 −5 degrees or 0.104″). In one hundred years, Mercury makes approximately 415 revolutions around the Sun, and thus in that time, the apsidal perihelion due ...

  9. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    A model with exactly one explanatory variable is a simple linear regression; a model with two or more explanatory variables is a multiple linear regression. [1] This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression , which predicts multiple correlated dependent variables rather than a single dependent variable.
