  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

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

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  3. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    Coefficient matrices are used in algorithms such as Gaussian elimination and Cramer's rule to find solutions to the system. The leading entry (sometimes leading coefficient [citation needed]) of a row in a matrix is the first nonzero entry in that row.

  4. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    So if two leading coefficients are in the same column, then a row operation of type 3 could be used to make one of those coefficients zero. Then by using the row swapping operation, one can always order the rows so that for every non-zero row, the leading coefficient is to the right of the leading coefficient of the row above.

  5. Legendre polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_polynomials

    The Legendre rational functions are a sequence of orthogonal functions on [0, ∞). They are obtained by composing the Cayley transform with Legendre polynomials. A rational Legendre function of degree n is defined as: R n ( x ) = 2 x + 1 P n ( x − 1 x + 1 ) . {\displaystyle R_{n}(x)={\frac {\sqrt {2}}{x+1}}\,P_{n}\left({\frac {x-1}{x+1 ...

  6. Linear predictor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_predictor_function

    The basic form of a linear predictor function () for data point i (consisting of p explanatory variables), for i = 1, ..., n, is = + + +,where , for k = 1, ..., p, is the value of the k-th explanatory variable for data point i, and , …, are the coefficients (regression coefficients, weights, etc.) indicating the relative effect of a particular explanatory variable on the outcome.

  7. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    If the degree of p is greater than the degree of q, then the limit is positive or negative infinity depending on the signs of the leading coefficients; If the degree of p and q are equal, the limit is the leading coefficient of p divided by the leading coefficient of q; If the degree of p is less than the degree of q, the limit is 0.

  8. Generalized hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_hypergeometric...

    Generalized hypergeometric functions include the (Gaussian) hypergeometric function and the confluent hypergeometric function as special cases, which in turn have many particular special functions as special cases, such as elementary functions, Bessel functions, and the classical orthogonal polynomials.

  9. Coefficient of multiple correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_multiple...

    The coefficient of multiple correlation is known as the square root of the coefficient of determination, but under the particular assumptions that an intercept is included and that the best possible linear predictors are used, whereas the coefficient of determination is defined for more general cases, including those of nonlinear prediction and those in which the predicted values have not been ...
