  2. Cohen's h - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen's_h

    Researchers have used Cohen's h as follows.. Describe the differences in proportions using the rule of thumb criteria set out by Cohen. [1] Namely, h = 0.2 is a "small" difference, h = 0.5 is a "medium" difference, and h = 0.8 is a "large" difference.

  3. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    Each new processor added to the system will add less usable power than the previous one. Each time one doubles the number of processors the speedup ratio will diminish, as the total throughput heads toward the limit of 1/(1 − p). This analysis neglects other potential bottlenecks such as memory bandwidth and I/O bandwidth. If these resources ...

  4. Rule of thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb

    Cartoon by James Gillray satirizing Sir Francis Buller, 1782: "Judge Thumb; or, Patent Sticks for Family Correction: Warranted Lawful!". A modern folk etymology [14] relates the phrase to domestic violence via an alleged rule under English common law which permitted wife-beating provided that the implement used was a rod or stick no thicker than a man's thumb. [6]

  5. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    As a rule of thumb the average backlash is defined as 0.04 divided by the diametral pitch; the minimum being 0.03 divided by the diametral pitch and the maximum 0.05 divided by the diametral pitch. [3] In metric, you can just multiply the values with the module: = In a gear train, backlash is cumulative. When a gear-train is reversed the ...

  6. The rule of 25 for retirement: What it means and how to ... - AOL

    The rule of 25 is just a different way to look at another popular retirement rule, the 4% rule. It flips the equation (100/4% = 25) to emphasize a different part of the retirement planning process ...

  7. Queuing Rule of Thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queuing_Rule_of_Thumb

    The Queuing Rule of Thumb (QROT) is a mathematical formula known as the queuing constraint equation when it is used to find an approximation of servers required to service a queue. The formula is written as an inequality relating the number of servers ( s ), total number of service requestors ( N ), service time ( r ), and the maximum time to ...

  8. Rule of twelfths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_twelfths

    Graph showing relationships between the rule of twelfths (coloured bars), a sine wave (dashed blue curve) and a clockface, if high tide occurs at 12:00. The rule of twelfths is an approximation to a sine curve. It can be used as a rule of thumb for estimating a changing quantity where both the quantity and the steps are easily divisible by 12 ...

  9. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    An expression like 1/2x is interpreted as 1/(2x) by TI-82, [3] as well as many modern Casio calculators [36] (configurable on some like the fx-9750GIII), but as (1/2)x by TI-83 and every other TI calculator released since 1996, [37] [3] as well as by all Hewlett-Packard calculators with algebraic notation.
