    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multiple_discoveries

    It was independently discovered in 1900 by the Japanese chemist Jōkichi Takamine and his assistant Keizo Uenaka. [49] [50] 1896: Two proofs of the prime number theorem (the asymptotic law of the distribution of prime numbers) were obtained independently by Jacques Hadamard and Charles de la Vallée-Poussin and appeared the same year.

  3. Multiple discovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery

    Multiple discoveries in the history of science provide evidence for evolutionary models of science and technology, such as memetics (the study of self-replicating units of culture), evolutionary epistemology (which applies the concepts of biological evolution to study of the growth of human knowledge), and cultural selection theory (which studies sociological and cultural evolution in a ...

    Chaitin's incompleteness theorem gives a different method of producing independent sentences, based on Kolmogorov complexity. Like the proof presented by Kleene that was mentioned above, Chaitin's theorem only applies to theories with the additional property that all their axioms are true in the standard model of the natural numbers.

  5. Independent component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_component_analysis

    ICA finds the independent components (also called factors, latent variables or sources) by maximizing the statistical independence of the estimated components. We may choose one of many ways to define a proxy for independence, and this choice governs the form of the ICA algorithm. The two broadest definitions of independence for ICA are

  6. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

    In mathematics, a function is a rule for taking an input (in the simplest case, a number or set of numbers) [5] and providing an output (which may also be a number). [5] A symbol that stands for an arbitrary input is called an independent variable, while a symbol that stands for an arbitrary output is called a dependent variable. [6]

    A commenter of Dante puts further thought into this game: the thought was that with three dice, the lowest number you can get is three, an ace for every die. Achieving a four can be done with three dice by having a two on one die and aces on the other two dice. [8] Cardano also thought about the sum of three dice. At face value there are the ...

  8. Spurious relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurious_relationship

    Graphical model: Whereas a mediator is a factor in the causal chain (top), a confounder is a spurious factor incorrectly implying causation (bottom). In statistics, a spurious relationship or spurious correlation [1] [2] is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third ...

  9. Immediate constituent analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_constituent_analysis

    Harris's ICA method involved continuously dividing a sentence into two immediate constituents, which can then be further subdivided until reaching the smallest meaningful units. Harris's work was foundational in the development of syntactic theory, and his ICA approach set the stage for later advancements in generative grammar (Harris 1955, pg ...
