    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    As a general rule, this vowel almost always acts as a joint-stem to connect two consonantal roots (e.g. arthr-+ -o-+ -logy = arthrology), but generally, the -o-is dropped when connecting to a vowel-stem (e.g. arthr-+ -itis = arthritis, instead of arthr-o-itis). Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersurface

    For avoiding ambiguity, the term irreducible hypersurface is often used. As for algebraic varieties, the coefficients of the defining polynomial may belong to any fixed field k , and the points of the hypersurface are the zeros of p in the affine space K n , {\displaystyle K^{n},} where K is an algebraically closed extension of k .

    The volume under surface approach has one plot a hypersurface rather than a curve and then measure the hypervolume under that hypersurface. Every possible decision rule that one might use for a classifier for c classes can be described in terms of its true positive rates (TPR 1, . . . , TPR c). It is this set of rates that defines a point, and ...

  9. Hyperplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane

    In geometry, a hyperplane of an n-dimensional space V is a subspace of dimension n − 1, or equivalently, of codimension 1 in V.The space V may be a Euclidean space or more generally an affine space, or a vector space or a projective space, and the notion of hyperplane varies correspondingly since the definition of subspace differs in these settings; in all cases however, any hyperplane can ...
