  2. Running total - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_total

    Another term for it is partial sum. The purposes of a running total are twofold. First, it allows the total to be stated at any point in time without having to sum the entire sequence each time. Second, it can save having to record the sequence itself, if the particular numbers are not individually important.

  3. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  4. Moving average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average

    The threshold between short-term and long-term depends on the application, and the parameters of the moving average will be set accordingly. It is also used in economics to examine gross domestic product, employment or other macroeconomic time series. When used with non-time series data, a moving average filters higher frequency components ...

  5. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    The sum a + b can be interpreted as a binary operation that combines a and b, in an algebraic sense, or it can be interpreted as the addition of b more units to a. Under the latter interpretation, the parts of a sum a + b play asymmetric roles, and the operation a + b is viewed as applying the unary operation +b to a. [20]

  6. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    The arithmetic mean (or simply mean or average) of a list of numbers, is the sum of all of the numbers divided by their count. Similarly, the mean of a sample x 1 , x 2 , … , x n {\displaystyle x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n}} , usually denoted by x ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {x}}} , is the sum of the sampled values divided by the number of items in ...

  7. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    The initialization of the count array, and the second for loop which performs a prefix sum on the count array, each iterate at most k + 1 times and therefore take O(k) time. The other two for loops, and the initialization of the output array, each take O ( n ) time.

  8. Counting measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_measure

    The counting measure is a special case of a more general construction. With the notation as above, any function : [,) defines a measure on (,) via ():= (), where the possibly uncountable sum of real numbers is defined to be the supremum of the sums over all finite subsets, that is, := , | | < {}.

  9. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    The difference between the height of each man in the sample and the observable sample mean is a residual. Note that, because of the definition of the sample mean, the sum of the residuals within a random sample is necessarily zero, and thus the residuals are necessarily not independent.
