  2. Theil–Sen estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theil–Sen_estimator

    It has also been called Sen's slope estimator, [1] [2] slope selection, [3] [4] the single median method, [5] the Kendall robust line-fit method, [6] and the Kendall–Theil robust line. [7] It is named after Henri Theil and Pranab K. Sen , who published papers on this method in 1950 and 1968 respectively, [ 8 ] and after Maurice Kendall ...

  3. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

    Similar calculations are carried out to determine pixel positions along a line with negative slope. Thus, if the absolute value of the slope is less than 1, we set dx=1 if x s t a r t < x e n d {\displaystyle x_{\rm {start}}<x_{\rm {end}}} i.e. the starting extreme point is at the left.

  6. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    View from the Swabian Jura to the Alps. Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length.. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.

  7. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    The distance between any two points on the real line is the absolute value of the numerical difference of their coordinates, their absolute difference.Thus if and are two points on the real line, then the distance between them is given by: [1]

    The search for missing hiker Susan Lane-Fournier, 61, took a tragic turn after her body was found over the weekend in Welches, Oregon, an unincorporated community at the base of Mount Hood.

  9. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    l = slope length α = angle of inclination. The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number ...
