  2. NaN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN

    In section 6.2 of the old IEEE 754-2008 standard, there are two anomalous functions (the maxNum and minNum functions, which return the maximum and the minimum, respectively, of two operands that are expected to be numbers) that favor numbers — if just one of the operands is a NaN then the value of the other operand is returned.

  3. Givens rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givens_rotation

    As with row-addition, algorithms often choose this angle so that one specific element becomes zero, and whatever happens in remaining columns is considered acceptable side-effects. A Givens rotation acting on a matrix from the right is instead a column operation, moving data between two columns but always within the same row.

  4. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    This consists in using the last computed approximate values of the root for approximating the function by a polynomial of low degree, which takes the same values at these approximate roots. Then the root of the polynomial is computed and used as a new approximate value of the root of the function, and the process is iterated.

  5. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

    In general, NaNs will be propagated, i.e. most operations involving a NaN will result in a NaN, although functions that would give some defined result for any given floating-point value will do so for NaNs as well, e.g. NaN ^ 0 = 1. There are two kinds of NaNs: the default quiet NaNs and, optionally, signaling NaNs.

  6. Point-biserial correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-biserial_correlation...

    To calculate r pb, assume that the dichotomous variable Y has the two values 0 and 1. If we divide the data set into two groups, group 1 which received the value "1" on Y and group 2 which received the value "0" on Y, then the point-biserial correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:

  7. Missing data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_data

    Values in a data set are missing completely at random (MCAR) if the events that lead to any particular data-item being missing are independent both of observable variables and of unobservable parameters of interest, and occur entirely at random. [5] When data are MCAR, the analysis performed on the data is unbiased; however, data are rarely MCAR.

  8. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    This equation has the same two solutions as the original one: = and = We can also modify the solution set by squaring both sides, because this will make any negative values in the ranges of the equation positive, causing extraneous solutions.

  9. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    If the variable has a signed integer type, a program may make the assumption that a variable always contains a positive value. An integer overflow can cause the value to wrap and become negative, which violates the program's assumption and may lead to unexpected behavior (for example, 8-bit integer addition of 127 + 1 results in −128, a two's ...
