  2. Iterative proportional fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_proportional_fitting

    The iterative proportional fitting procedure (IPF or IPFP, also known as biproportional fitting or biproportion in statistics or economics (input-output analysis, etc.), RAS algorithm [1] in economics, raking in survey statistics, and matrix scaling in computer science) is the operation of finding the fitted matrix which is the closest to an initial matrix but with the row and column totals of ...

  3. Entity–attribute–value model - Wikipedia

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

    Coercing all values into strings, as in the EAV data example above, results in a simple, but non-scalable, structure: constant data type inter-conversions are required if one wants to do anything with the values, and an index on the value column of an EAV table is essentially useless.

  4. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    A bitmap index is a special kind of indexing that stores the bulk of its data as bit arrays (bitmaps) and answers most queries by performing bitwise logical operations on these bitmaps. The most commonly used indexes, such as B+ trees, are most efficient if the values they index do not repeat or repeat a small number of times. In contrast, the ...

  5. Referential integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_integrity

    For referential integrity to hold in a relational database, any column in a base table that is declared a foreign key can only contain either null values or values from a parent table's primary key or a candidate key. [2] In other words, when a foreign key value is used it must reference a valid, existing primary key in the parent table.

  6. Data analysis - Wikipedia

    What is the sorted order of a set S of data cases according to their value of attribute A? - Order the cars by weight. - Rank the cereals by calories. 6 Determine Range: Given a set of data cases and an attribute of interest, find the span of values within the set. What is the range of values of attribute A in a set S of data cases?

  7. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    Moreover, the final row and the final column give the marginal probability distribution for A and the marginal probability distribution for B respectively. For example, for A the first of these cells gives the sum of the probabilities for A being red, regardless of which possibility for B in the column above the cell occurs, as ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠.

  8. Quartile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile

    The values of can be found with the quantile function where = for the first quartile, = for the second quartile, and = for the third quartile. The quantile function is the inverse of the cumulative distribution function if the cumulative distribution function is monotonically increasing because the one-to-one correspondence between the input ...

  9. Lift (data mining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(data_mining)

    where the antecedent is the input variable that we can control, and the consequent is the variable we are trying to predict. Real mining problems would typically have more complex antecedents, but usually focus on single-value consequents. Most mining algorithms would determine the following rules (targeting models): Rule 1: A implies 0
