  2. Wide and narrow data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_and_narrow_data

    The pandas package in Python implements this operation as "melt" function which converts a wide table to a narrow one. The process of converting a narrow table to wide table is generally referred to as "pivoting" in the context of data transformations.

  3. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    Note how the use of A[i][j] with multi-step indexing as in C, as opposed to a neutral notation like A(i,j) as in Fortran, almost inevitably implies row-major order for syntactic reasons, so to speak, because it can be rewritten as (A[i])[j], and the A[i] row part can even be assigned to an intermediate variable that is then indexed in a separate expression.

  4. Data orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_orientation

    Row-oriented benefits from fast insertion of a new row. Column-oriented benefits from fast insertion of a new column. This dimension is an important reason why row-oriented formats are more commonly used in Online transaction processing (OLTP), as it results in faster transactions in comparison to column-oriented.

  5. Help:Sortable tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sortable_tables

    The ! indicates cells that are header cells. In order for a table to be sortable, the first row(s) of a table need to be entirely made up out of these header cells. You can learn more about the basic table syntax by taking the Introduction to tables for source editing.

  6. Pivot table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table

    A pivot table is a table of values which are aggregations of groups of individual values from a more extensive table (such as from a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program) within one or more discrete categories. The aggregations or summaries of the groups of the individual terms might include sums, averages, counts, or other ...

  7. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Shuffling can also be implemented by a sorting algorithm, namely by a random sort: assigning a random number to each element of the list and then sorting based on the random numbers. This is generally not done in practice, however, and there is a well-known simple and efficient algorithm for shuffling: the Fisher–Yates shuffle .

  8. Entity–attribute–value model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–attribute–value...

    An entity–attribute–value model (EAV) is a data model optimized for the space-efficient storage of sparse—or ad-hoc—property or data values, intended for situations where runtime usage patterns are arbitrary, subject to user variation, or otherwise unforeseeable using a fixed design.

  9. X + Y sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_+_Y_sorting

    For the classical comparison sorting problem, the time to sort and the number of comparisons needed to sort are within constant factors of each other. But for X + Y {\displaystyle X+Y} sorting, the number of comparisons is smaller than the best time bound known: Michael Fredman showed in 1976 that X + Y {\displaystyle X+Y} sorting can be done ...
