  2. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...

  3. Rail fence cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_Fence_Cipher

    In the rail fence cipher, the plaintext is written downwards diagonally on successive "rails" of an imaginary fence, then moving up when the bottom rail is reached, down again when the top rail is reached, and so on until the whole plaintext is written out. The ciphertext is then read off in rows.

  4. Oversampling and undersampling in data analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oversampling_and_under...

    To then oversample, take a sample from the dataset, and consider its k nearest neighbors (in feature space). To create a synthetic data point, take the vector between one of those k neighbors, and the current data point. Multiply this vector by a random number x which lies between 0, and 1. Add this to the current data point to create the new ...

  5. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate. In statistical hypothesis testing, this fraction is given the Greek letter α, and 1 − α is defined as the specificity of the test. Increasing the specificity of the test lowers the probability of type I errors, but may raise the probability of type II errors (false ...

    A training data set is a data set of examples used during the learning process and is used to fit the parameters (e.g., weights) of, for example, a classifier. [9] [10]For classification tasks, a supervised learning algorithm looks at the training data set to determine, or learn, the optimal combinations of variables that will generate a good predictive model. [11]

  7. Transposition cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher

    The Rail Fence cipher is a form of transposition cipher that gets its name from the way in which it is encoded. In the rail fence cipher, the plaintext is written downward and diagonally on successive "rails" of an imaginary fence, then moves up when it gets to the bottom. The message is then read off in rows.

  8. Split-rail fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-rail_fence

    Simple split-rail fence Log fence with double posts (photo taken in 1938). A split-rail fence, log fence, or buck-and-rail fence (also historically known as a Virginia, zigzag, worm, snake or snake-rail fence due to its meandering layout) is a type of fence constructed in the United States and Canada, and is made out of timber logs, usually split lengthwise into rails and typically used for ...

  9. Tukey's range test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tukey's_range_test

    The value q s is the sample's test statistic. (The notation | x | means the absolute value of x ; the magnitude of x with the sign set to + , regardless of the original sign of x .) This q s test statistic can then be compared to a q value for the chosen significance level α from a table of the studentized range distribution .
