  2. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal ...

  3. P–P plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P–P_plot

    As an example, if the two distributions do not overlap, say F is below G, then the P–P plot will move from left to right along the bottom of the square – as z moves through the support of F, the cdf of F goes from 0 to 1, while the cdf of G stays at 0 – and then moves up the right side of the square – the cdf of F is now 1, as all points of F lie below all points of G, and now the cdf ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpressure_ammunition

    Speer Gold Dot 124gr 9mm+P in SIG P226 magazines. Overpressure ammunition, commonly designated as +P or +P+ (pronounced Plus-P or Plus-P-Plus), is small arms ammunition that has been loaded to produce a higher internal pressure when fired than is standard for ammunition of its caliber (see internal ballistics), but less than the pressures generated by a proof round.

  5. p-chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-chart

    The binomial distribution is the basis for the p-chart and requires the following assumptions: [2]: 267 The probability of nonconformity p is the same for each unit; Each unit is independent of its predecessors or successors; The inspection procedure is the same for each sample and is carried out consistently from sample to sample

  6. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    The event that all 23 people have different birthdays is the same as the event that person 2 does not have the same birthday as person 1, and that person 3 does not have the same birthday as either person 1 or person 2, and so on, and finally that person 23 does not have the same birthday as any of persons 1 through 22. Let these events be ...

  7. Misuse of p-values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_p-values

    The p-value is not the probability that the observed effects were produced by random chance alone. [2] The p-value is computed under the assumption that a certain model, usually the null hypothesis, is true. This means that the p-value is a statement about the relation of the data to that hypothesis. [2]

  8. p-adic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-adic_number

    The 3-adic integers, with selected corresponding characters on their Pontryagin dual group. In number theory, given a prime number p, the p-adic numbers form an extension of the rational numbers which is distinct from the real numbers, though with some similar properties; p-adic numbers can be written in a form similar to (possibly infinite) decimals, but with digits based on a prime number p ...

  9. Quadratic residue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_residue

    The quadratic excess E(p) is the number of quadratic residues on the range (0,p/2) minus the number in the range (p/2,p) (sequence A178153 in the OEIS). For p congruent to 1 mod 4, the excess is zero, since −1 is a quadratic residue and the residues are symmetric under r ↔ p−r. For p congruent to 3 mod 4, the excess E is always positive. [29]
