  2. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    After a function's value is computed for that parameter or set of parameters, the result is stored in a lookup table that is indexed by the values of those parameters; the next time the function is called, the table is consulted to determine whether the result for that combination of parameter values is already available. If so, the stored ...

  3. pandas (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandas_(software)

    If data is a Series, then data['a'] returns all values with the index value of a. However, if data is a DataFrame, then data['a'] returns all values in the column(s) named a. To avoid this ambiguity, Pandas supports the syntax data.loc['a'] as an alternative way to filter using the index.

  4. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    In this case particular lambda terms (which define functions) are considered as values. "Running" (beta reducing) the fixed-point combinator on the encoding gives a lambda term for the result which may then be interpreted as fixed-point value. Alternately, a function may be considered as a lambda term defined purely in lambda calculus.

  5. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_(computer...

    If-then-else flow diagram A nested if–then–else flow diagram. In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.

  6. Wilks's lambda distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilks's_lambda_distribution

    From the relations between a beta and an F-distribution, Wilks' lambda can be related to the F-distribution when one of the parameters of the Wilks lambda distribution is either 1 or 2, e.g., [1] 1 − Λ ( p , m , 1 ) Λ ( p , m , 1 ) ∼ p m − p + 1 F p , m − p + 1 , {\displaystyle {\frac {1-\Lambda (p,m,1)}{\Lambda (p,m,1)}}\sim {\frac ...

  7. Dangling else - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_else

    The dangling else is a problem in programming of parser generators in which an optional else clause in an if–then(–else) statement can make nested conditional statements ambiguous. Formally, the reference context-free grammar of the language is ambiguous , meaning there is more than one correct parse tree .

  8. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    The use of an initial value is necessary when the combining function f is asymmetrical in its types (e.g. a → b → b), i.e. when the type of its result is different from the type of the list's elements. Then an initial value must be used, with the same type as that of f 's result, for a linear chain of applications to be possible. Whether it ...

  9. Lambda distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_distribution

    Tukey's lambda distribution is a shape-conformable distribution used to identify an appropriate common distribution family to fit a collection of data to. Wilks' lambda distribution is an extension of Snedecor 's F-distribution for matricies used in multivariate hypothesis testing, especially with regard to the likelihood-ratio test and ...
