    For 5-shot groups, based on 95% confidence, a rifle that normally shoots 1 MOA can be expected to shoot groups between 0.58 MOA and 1.47 MOA, although the majority of these groups will be under 1 MOA. What this means in practice is if a rifle that shoots 1-inch groups on average at 100 yards shoots a group measuring 0.7 inches followed by a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_matrix

    In general, a distance matrix is a weighted adjacency matrix of some graph. In a network, a directed graph with weights assigned to the arcs, the distance between two nodes of the network can be defined as the minimum of the sums of the weights on the shortest paths joining the two nodes (where the number of steps in the path is bounded). [2]

    Also, let Q = (x 1, y 1) be any point on this line and n the vector (a, b) starting at point Q. The vector n is perpendicular to the line, and the distance d from point P to the line is equal to the length of the orthogonal projection of on n. The length of this projection is given by:

  5. Euclidean distance matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance_matrix

    In mathematics, a Euclidean distance matrix is an n×n matrix representing the spacing of a set of n points in Euclidean space. For points x 1 , x 2 , … , x n {\displaystyle x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n}} in k -dimensional space ℝ k , the elements of their Euclidean distance matrix A are given by squares of distances between them.

    The distance from a point to a plane in three-dimensional Euclidean space [7] The distance between two lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space [8] The distance from a point to a curve can be used to define its parallel curve, another curve all of whose points have the same distance to the given curve.

    Focal length can be calculated for the system in fig. 1 using the geometry shown in fig. 2 where it can be seen that changing the gap between the components (d+D in the figure) or the radius of curvature (R) will have a large effect on the focal length. Fig. 2- Geometry of MOA in configuration shown in fig. 1

    Calculate the squared scalar distance of the second observation, by taking the dot product of the position vector of the second observation: = where R 2 2 {\displaystyle {R_{2}}^{2}} is the squared distance of the second observation

  9. Minkowski distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_distance

    The Minkowski distance can also be viewed as a multiple of the power mean of the component-wise differences between and . The following figure shows unit circles (the level set of the distance function where all points are at the unit distance from the center) with various values of :
