  2. Scott's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott's_Rule

    Scott's rule is a method to select the number of bins in a histogram. [1] Scott's rule is widely employed in data analysis software including R, [2] Python [3] and Microsoft Excel where it is the default bin selection method. [4]

  3. First-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit-decreasing_bin...

    For each item from largest to smallest, find the first bin into which the item fits, if any. If such a bin is found, put the new item in it. Otherwise, open a new empty bin put the new item in it. In short: FFD orders the items by descending size, and then calls first-fit bin packing. An equivalent description of the FFD algorithm is as follows.

  4. Data binning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_binning

    Data binning, also called data discrete binning or data bucketing, is a data pre-processing technique used to reduce the effects of minor observation errors. The original data values which fall into a given small interval, a bin , are replaced by a value representative of that interval, often a central value ( mean or median ).

  5. Sturges's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturges's_rule

    This rule is widely employed in data analysis software including Python [2] and R, where it is the default bin selection method. [3] Sturges's rule comes from the binomial distribution which is used as a discrete approximation to the normal distribution. [4] If the function to be approximated is binomially distributed then

  6. Bucket sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort

    The function nextSort is a sorting function used to sort each bucket. Conventionally, insertion sort is used, but other algorithms could be used as well, such as selection sort or merge sort . Using bucketSort itself as nextSort produces a relative of radix sort ; in particular, the case n = 2 corresponds to quicksort (although potentially with ...

  7. First-fit bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit_bin_packing

    First-fit (FF) is an online algorithm for bin packing.Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity.

  8. Grouped data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouped_data

    Another method of grouping the data is to use some qualitative characteristics instead of numerical intervals. For example, suppose in the above example, there are three types of students: 1) Below normal, if the response time is 5 to 14 seconds, 2) normal if it is between 15 and 24 seconds, and 3) above normal if it is 25 seconds or more, then the grouped data looks like:

  9. Selection algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_algorithm

    When data is already organized into a data structure, it may be possible to perform selection in an amount of time that is sublinear in the number of values. As a simple case of this, for data already sorted into an array, selecting the k {\displaystyle k} th element may be performed by a single array lookup, in constant time. [ 27 ]
